What's with the Dumars hate?

You're either getting a rookie GM that doesn't know shite (Demps) and you have to wait for him to figure it out or a guy that ducked up another team and got canned.

Dumars built a championship team that made some deep playoff runs a well.

Pels talk drools over the likes of Monroe and Drummond. Guess who drafted them?

Josh Smith was the nail in his coffin and he's a guy everyone wanted us to sign

Who are some hot GM names?

Recent FA signings that have doomed that team:

Ben Gordon
Charlie Villenueva
Josh Smith
Brandon Jennings

Dumars has a spotty record of team building since he broke up the Sheed Pistons.

$100M in FA to Gordon, Villanueva, Smith, and Jennings is catastrophic. The Gordon/Maggette deal where he tossed in a first was Dempsian.

If he's drafting, great. Outside of Darko, who was done no favors by Larry Brown, he's got a solid record (Prince, Afflalo, Stuckey, Amir Johnson, et al).

Not this guy.

Though, if they were committed to uptempo and not afraid to go small, a Gordon/Smith trade could actually work.

This is the one thing no one talks about. The GM pool is thinner than the coaching pool.
