Anyone who believes any move Donnie Walsh has made the past two years were meant to revitalize the team or save a season are way WAY AllanFan'd
Donnie has done a miraculous job, especially if he pulls off today's trades, to put an end to the mistakes of the past, and give the team a chance to start from scratch. Something that was a must. And something he was brought in to do.
What happens after that is secondary. How we build the team into a winner with our new found flexibility is a topic for another day.
Miraculous is pretty strong for this GM. By making the draft choices that he's made, one has to say that he is less then perfect. A season and a half later, we still have no serviceable point guard. By trading Hill, he is second guessing himself. By not playing Curry he's stuck with him for another year. These are not the acts of a Miracle worker
The draft is always a crapshoot once you pick beyond the top handful of picks.
Not playing Curry? Curry CANT play.
Trading Hill? Hill's nothing.
No Point Guard? We're trying to tear down the team not lock up players to long term deals. That comes later. Besides who is this mystery franchise PG Walsh failed to sign?
Yes, it IS miraculous to see a man come in here and remove players who were pretty tough to get rid of.
Yes, it IS miraculous to see a man understand that this recycling of expirings we witness the past 9 years was an absolute failure and that it had to stop - and he damn well put a stop to it.
Yes, it IS miraculous to see the team have an excellent chance to build a winner from the ground up starting in a mere few months.
Yes, it IS miraculous.
Why this vision eludes so many is confusing to me.
Miraculous to trade a 20-10 PF who is an all star the following year and a highly skilled 2G who was played out of position and used incorrectly--who will be 6th man of the year on winning team for essentially crp? That's no miracle. Their drafting has been questionable to say the least--I would grade him out at C-
