McLovin from SuperBad would have at least gotten the 100 dollars worth of liquor he was attempting to buy for trading Pau Gasol to LA, which is just as good. Every single team in the NBA would of gave up more than a 28th 1st round pick for Pau Gasol and that's why it will always go down as one of the stupidest moves in NBA history. But why does McHale get all the blame? There's no way McHale should of had the full authority of the owner to pull off that deal alone overnight. If so and the owner doesn't still doesn't understand the magnitude of it yet, it's time to take away Kevin's job details unless others were involved in that Nobel prize winning trade! The only thing that actually help McHale's reputation somehow is if something comes out making that trade completely illegal because it benefited the GM financially enough to set him up for life w/o having to ever raise a figure again unless it's to signal the waitress for another cocktail or he he's a double agent with another office in LA and is an excellent public speaker who can hypnotize scouts, owners, etc with the snap of his fingers making them think the trade was a spectacular deal on their end and Mike Miller is alot more valuable considering they already want more for him! The league office probably thought it was a joke when the trade proposal got faxed in to the main office
this post is backed. i agree fully. their payroll will be 37 million next year (which is impressive considering the many albatross contracts they had on that roster), and they can sign a free agent next off-season (or the james-wade-melo-bosh off-season if they defer their spending). the wolves can develop their young talent this season and mix a significant free agent later to revive this team again. how many were clowning mchale for the davis & blount for walker swap? unequivocally i think everyone would say that the wolves won that deal now.
And his signing of Joe Smith cost his team how many first rounds picks? How far back did it sit his team? How many years has his team won a single play off game? How bad has the TPups been the last few years even with an MVP quality player like KG? The grade sticks! Big Fat F
Undoing a lot of horrendous mistakes is nice, but he's still the one that made the mistakes. Wolves have bee completely irrelevant for all but a single year in their franchise history. Pretty awful. Al Jefferson is good, but isn't more than a B or B+ guy so far. Miller's a B- guy. The rest of the roster is C grade. That's not going to get them into the playoff mix. I'm not sold at all on Love. I certainly don't see him being a star in the league. Too slow and unathletic. Evan
