About the original thread
that the Cavs front office is really dumb....
I'm not overly pleased with just getting Miles for ANdre, but I'm not so sure that Jim Paxson isn't doing a good job. Keep in mind the roster he inherited...
he's gotten rid of Shawn Kemp and his MEGA-HUGE contract! In fact, that is probably the worst contract in the league now considering Kemp's pathetic play
he got rid of Cedric Henderson, Bobby Sura, Chris Mills - all end of the bench players who had bigger contracts then what they are worth
he got rid of Robert "tractor" Traylor... nuff said there
He traded a sporatic no defense Wesley Person
he will probably trade apathetic no defense Lamond Murray
he got Ricky Davis for Chris Gatling who was a FA anyway!
Yeah, they've made some questionable drafts - notably Trajon Langdon, and Chris Mihm, but Paxson is definately doing the right thing...
he is cutting the dead wood, bringing in the youth and explosive players that fans want.
He and the front office haven't been perfect, but I give him a c+ or a B, mostly for getting rid of Embry's collection of over-priced under-performing players, and trying to infuse the team with youth and energy. He's cutting his losses all the way too, instead of being a middle of the road minor playoff team, he is ready to strip it all down and hope to get lucky with LeBron too. Oh, and I like his firing of Wittman, and the hiring of Lucas too.
