    There was a lot of heat on West to win right away. Make no mistake though, running organizations in LA and GS makes it FAR easier.

    Without being in LA.... he doesn’t get Shaq in free agency, he can’t trade for Kobe .... he can’t sign KD or Leonard and no way George forced a deal.

    West is rightly considered the second best GM ever behind Auerbach. However it is a hell of a lot harder and more impressive to see what the Spurs have done in that size market.

    Ain't that the truth... I always wonder what could have been if Pop was Htown's coach.

    Ah well... get that ship, Dan Thoni! :)

    I mean, I guess it's a massive feat whenever you help Memphis make the playoffs.

    Jerry West = Most overrated talent evaluater.

    He won In glamour markets and no one has had sustained success outside of them.

    He's not overrated. That doesn't mean that he hits it out of the park every time.

    I think his legacy looks better and better the longer Dolan and Buss spawn continue running things in NY and LA.

    We had Manimal there for big minutes last year. His defense should be at least that good, right?

    I forgot about CJ. Shroeder sucks though.

    I just hope he plays with same energy as Faried. The knock on Bennett has always been his effort and conditioning.

    I hear that. I'm hoping his rediscovering that effort matters in the NBA mirrors his rediscovery of his jump shot.

    From my perspective, he hasn't earned any respect. He has talent but lacks heart and determination. We'll see if he has what it takes to earn my respect.

    15 / 4 / 4 .. that doesn't qualify as "sucking".

    At least he'll have CP3 to get on his ass when he starts to slack...

    Never mind.

    Anthony Bennet is 26 years old. If he can space the floor and give any kind of useful energy on defense he would be filling a huge need for this current roster.
