"I may have heard something once about him having input as a player" = "Architect of the Bad Boy Pistons"

That's awesome.

And Isiah Thomas is universally regarded as one of the worst GMs in the history of sports. He fucked that team up really bad. You're ridiculous.

Which team are you referring to? If you think that you and IMU's judge of talent is better than Isaiah Thomas's then you are an idiot.

Of course long time guy is defending Isiah Thomas The GM. It's like every week he tries to outdo himself.

I just find it funny how NBA guys know nothing, but a guy that does nothing but quote stats is "credible". Think about that for a second. Floor generals for one of the all time great teams is an idiot, yet guys that would rather have Michael Carter Williams on their team are go to guys for information.

You spend a lot of your time talking in circles and wasting keystrokes. You did this with comparing the Clippers roster and the Pelicans roster too. Some shit doesn't need to be argued, and when you argue it, people rightfully think you're a troll and/or an idiot. If you can't admit Thomas was a terrible GM, it's fair to dismiss your NBA opinions. If you spend 2-3 paragraphs trying to deny Chris Paul has better teammates than Anthony Davis, it's fair to dismiss and laugh at your opinions. It's why you're not credible. Once you start admitting the obvious, maybe people will treat your thoughts with a bit more respect.

I'm still wondering which team he screwed up? Knicks were already screwed up when he took over. He didn't make them better but they could not have gotten much worse either. He is a good judge of talent. He tends to overpay for it. That was his problem. No one ever doubted Eddy Curry's talent.

I could care less about message board consensus or credibility for that matter. I have pointed out numberous instances where guys get passes around here. Respect and credibility goes both ways and when I'm the only one making points it doesn't mean that they lack validity, it just means that certain guys swallow the whistle or blow it depending on the poster. That is obvious.

Love seeing a Jerome James mention. He gave this fat loser 5 years and 30M! Just because he had a decent playoff series. There may have been worse moves that Isiah made, but this one was pretty funny and obviously bad even at the time he made it.

Worse Gm: Isiah or Billy King?

I love that a defense of Isiah Thomas is the hill you are choosing to die on. I can't argue with you though drafting Nate Robinson might have been the best move that a GM has ever made in history.

_________________

Love that gif.

i'm not saying he was a great GM that is a nice message board spin job. I'm saying that he can assess talent.

Isiah deserves his props for drafting what turned out to be a journeyman backup point guard.

Jim Paxson is the 2nd best on that link!

Please keep going

Real GM is enough. More "credible" than wordpress or whatever the hell it is.

_________________

So you agree with the link's conclusion then? Jim Paxson and Isiah Thomas are the two best GMs at drafting in the past 27 years?

Wouldn't say that. But it probably means that your assessment about him being the worst is a little off. I can think of at least five that were worst.

David Kahn
Elgin Baylor
Billy King
Grant From Cleveland
This guy in Philly is moving up the list also. I will provide a few others. That statement of yours covers a lot of territory.

Sam Hinkie in Philly has already been effectively replaced by Colangelo. I don't think I ever said Thomas was the worst, I said one of the worst ever. Seems like you agree. Not sure why it took a dozen posts and you faking disagreement first, but glad to have you back on the Sane Train.
