Rod Thorn is one of the best GMs in the league. I would only put Bryan Colangelo as clear cut better. After Colangelo and Thorn, I can't see anyone that's close. Paxon? Nah. RC Buford, maybe, but I credit it more to Pop than I do him. Cuban? Guy just has a fat wallet so it's not hard to make a good team, though the Knicks haven't figued that one out yet. Riley is up there for the Shaq move, but other than that the Heat were bottom feeders for quite awhile. Dumars got his praise for one really good year, otherwise his moves have been mediocre. Rod's record is fabulous and for you to think he's obstinate or pompous or however you want to put it is ridiculous. He's a great GM.
Frank, on the other hand, I'm losing trust in. He's making bonehead decisions and its costing us wins. I don't think there's another team in the league that's blown as many leads that we have. I think a change is needed there, but it's good that Rod is showing trust in our players and coaching staff so that he's not rattled nor too upset. I like that about Rod, cause it won't make players feel all antsy and uncomfortable each night knowing they may be gone soon.
Also...has anyone noticed this about Marcus Williams...that he kinda ignores Vince and others on offense? It seems as if RJ, Wright, Hasaan Adams, and Twin are the only guys he likes to feed. He ignores the rest. I really wish he'd stop looking for his own shot. I know I read on the Star Ledger website that Vince was once asked about how good the rookies are and he only talked about Hasaan Adams being great and Boone working hard, but no mention of Marcus. Is there growing tension there?
