    Hey look at you trying to change the point again!

    Your logic is that GMs should be fired if they let talent walk.

    I ask you the question, should every GM in the NBA be fired? Yes or no?

    You couldn't even answer this one simple question. This was what you have been arguing and yet you still haven't answered the question.

    if they let jeremy lin walk yes, they should be fired. If they take a scrub like Marcus Morris over Kawhi Leonard yes they should be looked at with extreme scrutiny.

    but my point was never about firing a gm. i feel that wallace needs to be fired for multiple reasons; lowry giveaway is only one reason.

    it says something about the lengths that a rockets fan will go through to prove that they are right when after I answer your question about wallace, you have to frame it to include EVERY GM of EVERY team, but I'm the one who is changing points?

    to answer your question once and for all, many gms do need to be fired. but not because they fail once, it's their track record of success. What you continue to fail to see is the magnitude of Kawhi Leonard and Lin set your franchise back for a LONG while, and that's why more needs to be fired, because he don't have a clue.

    Nope, I didn't put words in your mouth. I put together your logic from your posts.

    When a poster questioned Kobe's logic, you said it was stupid.

    This is also what you said.

    All signs point towards you agreeing with Kobe's statement, or at least Kobe's logic. That is, GMs who passed on Lin should be fired.

    And The magnitude of Lin and Leonard setting us back? Are you this stupid?

    Do you know how much the Thunder is set back by trading Carl Landry for nothing? The guy who is now a legitimate post scorer that the Thunder is sorely lacking? The guy who has averaged 18/7 at over 50FG%?

    Do you know how bad the Spurs were set back for trading away Scola, the guy who averaged 18/8/3 on 50FG% who could relieve the scoring pressure from Duncan, Parker and Ginobli?

    Do you know how badly the Pacers were set back by not drafting all-star PG and near all-star PG in Rondo and Lowry, opting to draft Shawne Williams (who?) instead?

    Chris Wallace is the reason Memphis is relevant. WTF? The guy has taken a team which was going down the ****ter and built them into a force.

    Lol @ people acting as if Kawhai Leonard is a star.

    Rockets have two pretty good point guards so not keeping Lin isn't as big of a deal as people are making it.

    For 1 thing, Jeremy is American and I doubt he's set foot in the country of China as of yet. :rolleyes:

    Kobe is just mad that he's got scrub pgs on his team and knew that this kid could have been a Laker helping him win and possibly achieve that 6 and maybe final ring. I don't blame him. Lin was up for grabs at one point and was even there for the Lakers...

    This x 1,000.

    What do the Lakers need most? A point guard.

    Who could they have gotten once the Rockets released him? Jeremy Lin.

    Why didn't they? Because they failed, just like every other GM in the NBA. The Knicks were about to release him, too, if you recall.
