And all you need to know about how braindead he is:
2005 1st round - #29 david lee (acquired with malik for nazr)
2005 2nd round - #34 (traded away for nazr mohammed)
2006 1st round - #30 mardy collins (acquired with malik for nazr)
2006 2nd round - #32 (traded away for mo taylor)
Justify adding 33 million in payroll and having a serviceable backup for picks he traded in other deals that weren't all that different.
You ask yourself this, Isiah was on 660 after these trades and said they needed more of a vetran influence and when ask why give up Nazy he said what do you think it would cost to resign him. Isiah though 8 million which was odd he would trade him instead of paying him when acquired rose 7mil and mo 9mil (16 million) added jerome james (5 million) then traded for eddy curry (10 million)
So basically for our center position since we didn't want to resign Naz for 8 (he got 5) we invested 31 million a year basically for Currys services. Brilliant, but you can't look at Isiahs masterful work as a gm because who cares we are over the cap! BULLSHIT!
even more about nazr...malik had a bigger AND longer deal. when the deal was made, nazr had one more year at $5 mil. malik had FOUR more years at $6-7.5 mil a year. so in essence, the re-signing argument really doesn't make too much sense.
