In this league, for right or wrong, lotto picks are gold. And top five picks simply don't get traded. I don't want to say that 13/9 PG's are a dime a dozen, but with 3 TOPG it's not like Olajuwon is a hot commodity, especially considering he was in the last year of his rookie contract. Nobody knows what his motivation was but the fact is he traded a very valuable asset for a much less valuable piece on the eve of his departure from the league. Any trade, especially a lopsided one, made by a GM who knows he's leaving the league when he makes the deal is going to be questioned. As far as nobody commenting on the trade at the time... The two people who most often chime in are Lou, who was involved in the deal, and you, who was too busy ripping me for my trade with the Pistons.  If the rest of the league knew that he had quit days after making this move I guarantee there would have been more chatter on the boards about it. What's done is done; good for Lou, bad for the new PistonsGM, and not great for the league as a whole, and certainly not the Eastern conference. |

He posted a sim1 DC, so he definitely started the season. Also, Olajuwon was a 2.3TOPG PG, not 3 . Wasn't a rookie deal, he offered a sweet low first extension which also made him valuable. |

Yes T was a pain in the ass to negotiate with. Even with his close friends. Yes he left in a bad way. It's done. Let's get a new gm for the Pistons and move forward. |

Would you be interested in being an assistant GM until a spot opens up? I'm sure there would be some interested folks in having someone on board! (*cough* Lou) |

I wouldn't mind an assistant to be honest. Someone who would look at roster pages other than my own would probably be an asset.
