Some of you might enjoy. I couldn't resist commenting on that piece of garbage post:
Jimmy Smith is apparently a professional NBA beat writer who does not know that NBA contracts are guaranteed. Great job here. Avery Johnson last coached a competitive team when his #1 seeded Mavs lost to the #8 seed led by the immortal Baron Davis, and was a complete failure in Jersey. Joe Dumars has been one of the worst GMs in the league for years, and gave out near max contracts to Charlie Villanueva and Ben Gordon. Those are some world-class ideas there, Jimmy.
Also, Stiemsma is hurt and would have been unavailable to play in the last 2 games. The team needed another body to make it through the season and the only way to do that was to cut someone. The guy on a 1 year deal (Stiemsma) seems to be the best candidate. Stiemsma didn't lose one cent on his deal. He'll be paid in full. What is actually embarrassing (besides this entire article) is that the T-P haven't realized that their NBA coverage is woefully ignorant and incompetent, starting with Mr. Smith. Unfortunately, like Mr. Smith does above, they seem to value some "local connection" more than actual qualifications or prior performance.

I don't get the Johnson hate, other than he has an annoying voice. What exactly has he done wrong?
GS was the worst possible matchup for that Mavs squad. They were red hot and full of young, offensive talent and a HOF coach who happened to know a little bit about Dallas. Davis was playing out of his mind, too.No mention of the fact that Dallas lost 15 games that season and 22 the year before, when AJ was COY.
And you cannot really judge the guy on his tenure in NJ. Those teams were deplorable. They were built under the assumption that Deron Williams was the best PG in the league, when in fact it coincided with Williams' regression. Brook Lopez was always hurt. The team was devoid of any real talent outside of that. Not to mention the circus that the Russian brought to town. shite, that franchise is still underachieving in that crappy conference. Im not sure AJ deserves the blame there.
What was the knock on Johnson? Why would he be such a bad option?
