I tend to agree. KP makes it a bit murky but Phil Jackson is TERRIBLE with trades.
Yall are crazy. How easily we forget the many blunders of Isiah Thomas. I will not judge Phil on this move until I see what he does to follow up. Remember people killed Phil for signing Rolo in the 1st place. Now they like him so much they are killing Phil for trading him. No need to pass judgement on the 1st move of the off season. Lets see what he does from here on out.
Isiah actually built a cache of assets that included a two 2xtime all-stars in Zach Randolph and David Lee (both in their primes), a perennial 6th man of the year/contender in Jamal Crawford, and several valuable role players in Trevor Ariza and Wilson Chandler. Isiah's only problem was the Eddy Curry trade and a sexual harrassment suit that prevented him from transitioning from collecting assets to building an actual team. Phil wishes he could do that.
And please don't speculate about my positions in the past. I've never "killed Phil" from signing Robin Lopez. I thought it was an excellent move (along with everything else he did that offseason) that would look better with time. I give credit where credit is due. And what just went down eith Rose deserves no credit; only criticism. To make matters worse, this seems to be a trend involving trades because our only other one (involving Tyson) was similarly horrendous. As I said before, the old man needs to keep himself out of trade discussions because he is getting killed in them.
