So far Walsh has been an average GM.
1. Signing Roberson F
2. Trading Crawford B
3. Trading Zach C-
4. Drafting Gallo C-
5. Signing Duhon A
6. Bringing in Mike A
7. Offseason extensions for Nate/Lee C
8 Marbury D
I think not moving Zach for a second round pick to the clippers, which was confirmed as on the table was a tremendous mistake. Perhaps TT is a valuable expiring deal next season if you combine him with Harrington but I just don't see it. It clogs up minutes and we don't need the guy. And we could have used Collins as a backup instead of Roberson who is useless and can't even shoot. Gallo it's too early to tell but we passed up prime talent to take the kid.
Lee/Nate we are probably going to have to move one if not both of them and get back lesser unproven talent. I am sure you could have worked out better deals if you had signed them before the season, but until they sign or are traded Walsh get's the benefit of the doubt. If he can turn them into one very good player on a rookie deal then his first year has been a tremendous success.
Dude, who gives a sh!t if Walsh traded Zach for TT or for a second rounder? The difference is miniscule. The question is only are you happy that he dumped him or not. It was a straight dump -- which most were saying was impossible.
And again with Marbury -- who cares. Roberson, who cares -- league minimum deals are irrelevant, you can always cut the guy.
I do agree, that he prob should have done something about Nate/Lee, but we'll see what happens.
And so far I'm not thrilled with the Gallo pick, but we'll see.
