but then he brings in mo, vin, and jerome - 3 guys who HISTORICALLY have been lazy, out of shape, or just don't get it.
Jerome James is a very simple move to understand. We cannot be a playoff team without some size. JJ provides that. For the MLE, it made perfect sense. He isn't the best, but he was available, cheap and we needed it.
Vin Baker was the same thing, we desperately needed a big and he was available and very cheap so its not like it made such a difference.
Mo Taylor, is a talented player who was had for expiring bums. Yeah his contract is kinda ludicrous, but I actually liked Mo Taylor, I saw the potential in him to be a good player, he can do alot on offense. But I;ll concede this move hasn't panned out so well, but it still may and he expires with H20, so it was worth a chance.
what frustrates me is that some of the moves he makes are a little bit of headscratchers and kind of delays the plan from coming to fruition a little bit. that's my only gripe with him.
I don't see any moves that have stopped the plan from coming into fruition. Once you accept that getting under the cap wasn't ever part of the plan, then I can't see anything that actually delays the plan from coming to fruition. Except...
the one HUGE MISTAKE was his handling of our head coach situation since he got here - and that set us back further.
I agree here. We can all agree that Lenny was not the right coach to begin with. But hindsight is 20/20, If H20 came back healthy we woulda been in the playoffs and Lenny probably would have probably still been here, and we would have been happy. We have to get the coaching thing right this time. We have a nice mix of talent, we need the right coach to put it together for us.
