I keep hoping he will live up to the hype. I keep trying to have an open mind and overall I keep getting disappointed. Mediocre results more times than not has to start dwarfing the impressive sales pitches. How many lemons are we gonna buy from the hot sales lady(figuratively speaking) before we wise up? I'm not sure but what I am sure of is that I have my fingers crossed on this next direction just like the past directions although the whole Nash attempt which led to Landry flies in the face of "the plan" Colangelo presented immediately after getting his last SHORT extension...

Do you think it is possible people higher than BC in MLSE were pushing Nash knowing what a cash cow it would be?
Again, just asking. I don't think so (as in I think BC wanted to pursue Nash) but I don't think it is outside the realm of possibility he was encouraged to try to make it happen.

In his mind, if they are making money (with a successful Nash trade) he may be able to justify strictly business moves by believing that the organization would be willing to dabble in luxury tax range to field a better product. If the Raps could have a better product (which leads to improved attendance and TV deals and endorsements etc. by moving into luxury tax range, I am sure they would, because bottom line is, what's the net at the end of the year?

- When he initially took the job it was under the condition that no one higher up would get involved with roster decisions.
- The past board members illustrated quite well the horrible results when non-basketball people stick their noses into the on court product.

i like the deal for orlando except for harrington. i think he could win them a couple games that could hurt the tank. i also think denver is happy as hell he is off the team. if i am orlando i am trying to flip harrington for a draft pick right now. good young players and 3 first round picks is much better than what nj was offering if they were forced to settle.
i think that if philly uses bynum as option number 1, he will stay. he wants to be the guy and there he can be. philly is a good city, not la good but better than a lot of cities around.
denvers give up for iggy sure makes our fantasies look silly. i think affalo,harrington and a first rounder are better than any package we were tossing around. our best bet was salary dump there.
from a toronto perspective this helps us out. i think it clearly gets orlando out of our way and we were going to be battling with philly anyway, so instead of competeing with two. one is now out and one is now in.
miami
philly
indy
boston
atlanta
with the rest fighting for the last 3 spots
us, nj, ny, chi, wash
