Some posters on this board will gripe about trading Wallace, Wells, Damon, whoever, and yet they won't say what should have been done to make the situation better, like they could have done a better job. It doesn't help when teams like Toronto and NJ choose to make worse deals for what Portland offered them. What the hell is management supposed to do when Toronto turns down Portlands deal for Vince Carter, instead taking Alonzo Mourning who doesn't play one minute for them. What is Nash supposed to do when NJ turns down a good trade for Shareef because of a supposed failed physical, and then ends up having to let him go because NJ screwed him at the deadline? I don't see the people who are bashing him stepping up with a better solution.
