I'm really not complaining. I read an article I commented on it, I suggested that it would be in our best interest to make the playoffs, and hope our players get better and there values increase so we can possible make a trade or 2 to upgrade.. And all of a sudden I'm bitching, crying and complaining.
This maybe a discussion we had already but certain things are becoming painfully obvious. If you think walsh is following his initial plan then your not smart after all. A lot has change since his debut and I'm almost certain he didn't predict these obstacles.
"you are not smart after all"-This is all you have to validate your point. Good one.
Instead of throwing out 4th grade insults why not just discuss the topic. So you think things have changed. You think obstacles have come up. You and I agree on this brilliant in-depth analysis. You and I probably also agree that this is what happens when you build a team. If it was formulaic and things did not change then everyone would be able to build a championship team. Unfortunately things do change and fall apart from time to time, so you adapt. A good GM will have a back up plan so he is not completely starting over if his Plan A fails.
Walsh has said from the beginning he wants to go after a star. He has said that there are several ways to get one, but getting under the cap may be the quickest way(considering we don't have a draft pick in 2010 who can argue with this, getting under the cap gets us in position to make trades/sign free agents). Not sure if those are his exact words but I think I'm close. Now Donnie has never said that going after Lebron is his only plan. That is a media creation that is being followed by fans. He is going to get under the cap go after big time players and if he can't pull it off(the reasons for not pulling it off are irrelevant, doesn't matter if the the cap is lowered, or the player doesn't want to come here), what are we left with? We are left with a young team with tons of expiring contracts.
What else has become painfully obvious? Maybe you just aren't expressing yourself clearly and that's why people think you are complaining.
This is exactly why I would give Walsh an "A" -- what he has done is the right thing to do, low risk with "potential" fro high reward. Even if you dont get the high reward it's still the right thing to do.
TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!
