Back to Kiki. He's a decent option. Is it my dream GM, no.
NO hes not a decent option, you should move on.
But you like Isiah, right?
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Kiki signed Nene to a 6 year $60M contract after he averaged a whopping 10 & 6 in 3 seasons... not very smart, regardless of Nene's ACL blowing out or not.
the only franchise that should consider Kiki a good GM is the NJ Nets, cuz they're the ones that were able to land themselves Vince Carter after Kiki traded those 3 future 1st round picks for the rights to sign KMart to a max contract.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

kiki did not sign nene. that was warkstein or whatever the new guy's name is.
kiki was gone before the draft last year.
kiki's signature trade was for kmart - $90 mil and 3 #1 picks (2 of which weren't theirs). he dumped lafrentz, juwan howard, nick van exel. he was able to get dre miller. traded dice for camby. and he drafted melo. the only really big negatives for kiki was drafting nene and skita. i mean, two lotto picks that didn't pay off are pretty big things in the bad column, but he's not a bum.

I thought it was Kiki that signed Nene, but if you say it wasn't I'll take your word for it.
3 #1 picks for KMart signed to a max contract... if Isiah had made that trade you telling me you wouldn't be roundly criticizing him for it right about now? come on dude.
I'm not saying he's a bum, but he's not as good as many of you are making him out to be.
