traded JAson Richardson for draft rights to Brandon Wright
Gave Cory Maggette a big contract

He did a good job adding some good young talent to that group. NY guy. I like him. Shrewd

i can't even blame him for giving those bad contracts out since he was trying to go for it all around baron davis. patrick o'bryant is a swing and a miss, but alot of gm's swing and miss on big men. he did ALOT more good than bad.

That's a weird take. I like his drafting skills but where is giving Mike Dunleavy Jr. max money on your list? Good or bad? I guess the good was that he found a suc..er..friend in Donnie to take that off his hand. Bird still cleaning up the best made downlow mess that is the Indiana Pacers. I don't see anyone saying let me get some of that contract anytime soon.

I thought Bird was GM when that deal was done, wasn't he?

maybe it's weird because you got your facts messed up

he got a 5 year 44mil deal.

In November 2005, the Warriors signed Dunleavy to a 5-year, $44 million contract extension. Golden State General Manager Chris Mullin said,

He used a max contract slot on him no? Because he signed Fisher using cap space to that ridiculous contract and Murphy had gotten his the year before (btw, where is Murphy on your list). I think that was the whole issue that Warriors had with him. He maxed them out with extensions and a bad signing.

No that was Donnie and he took "credit" for it. He got out the scoundrel Jackson and Donnie's stepson and brought in the good guys.

Take your pick with Mullin...Monta Ellis has an insane contract as well...So let's see, Monta Ellis, Dunleavy, Foyle, Fisher, Murphy and Granger all have insane contracts from Mullin with one notable playoff appearance...Foyle got paid 50 mil, Foyle...Other than that he is shrewd...

Is it wrong that I completely forgot he was still here?

But those are horrible mistakes. Wright and OBryant are straight busts in every concievable sense. The Fisher and Foyal contracts set them back years and they were signed for no good reason. He also brought back Donnie Darko Nelson which has been a disaster.

The only difference between Mullin and Zeke is that Mullin has enough friends around the league to help him out from up under his mistakes (i.e Dunleavy/Murphy contracts).

The Davis trade and the Monta pick were two outstanding moves, outside of that duke has been mediocre at best. Actually, he's a worse GM than Zeke. Whats good?

to be fair about brandon wright though - he was in the top10 of every single mock draft there was. he did go 15/6/2blks/1stl in his only year at unc. golden state should have been the perfect place for him in that run and gun.
