I cant tell if you are being sarcastic or not, so I will play both sides of the argument.
I think his best offseason move so far is getting Karl Malone and GP to come to the Lakers. Almost won a championhip that year and we would have if Malone hadnt suffered the first injury of his career. Payton sucked as a Laker (what can u do?). I also like his deal to get Mo Evans last year.
In defense of Mitch, Shammond got injured last year. He was also supposed to add a veteran's touch at pt guard but wasnt healthy (or good enough). Also, although it never got used, Shammond was another expiring contract that could have been useful in a trade to a team trying to dump salary.
I was almost convinced that Shammond (1.75 mil) and Mihm (4.5 mil) were going to be packaged for a MLE level player at the trade dealine last year.
