Riley urgently needed that cap-space way more than we needed Marion...... oh wait, we really didn't need Marion (who became Turk, who became Barbosa).
And then people say, but wait a sec, BC fixed that when he got that pick back for Bosh. It's like a con man fleecing you out of your wristwatch for nothing, and then selling it back to you for your luxury car. smdh.

As Bryan Colangelo, I feel like I was good at recognizing talent, but terrible at building a team.
I waited too long to get rid of Smitch. He wasn't my guy but he was just coming off a great season and I had my hands tied.
I made a good call hiring Casey, but again, took too long to find him players that suited his coaching style and purge the dead weight off the roster. And that Rudy Gay thing was all about me trying to save my job. Even I knew it was dumb thing to do at the time.
And there's no much I can say about Bargs except ... sorry? I was trying to prove I was visionary and looked too far outside the box. That was a tough draft to project. Obviously, Aldridge would have been the right call, but we had Bosh at the time. I thought there would be too much overlap. So I went with the 7-foot guy that breathed through his mouth and could shoot three pointers.

I think it'd worth pointing out that BC traded for Lowry with the intention of him being the back up to Nash...Last edited by Just Is; Tue Dec 30, 2014, 11:24 PM."My biggest concern as a coach is to not confuse winning with progress." - Steve Kerr

BC made a lot of dumb moves but it's weird that people try to diminish the actual good things he did.
