re: The Buzz around DLeague Showcase, Joe Dumars to the Pels

Dumars was a player under Gentry as an assistant for multiple years. He either fired Gentry from Detroit or came on board shortly after. No idea if there is bad blood or not.
Eh. I'm more inclined to give him one for Gordon and Villanueva. Like Gyno said, they were young guys coming off career years. Smith, with Monroe and Drummond already on board, was just bad.

Right, for those guys to even sniff the contracts they got, multiple teams were in on them.
shite, does anyone actually remember Ben Gordon in Chicago? Dude's free agency was hype AF. His fall from grace is similar to another Gordon we all know. BG led the Bulls in scoring 4 years in a row and was 25 y/o.
Villanueva had the pedigree of a high draft pick and was coming off a great year. It's easy to call him a bust in hindsight, but like Gordon, he was 25 and was seen an "up and coming".
In theory, Dumars was doing exactly what he supposed to; he had cleared out all the overpaid vets from the glory years, and was attempting to build a young core through FA and the draft to make another run. It flopped, but the intention was right.
Dumars wouldnt be the top guy on my list, but he is always brought up as the worst GM ever on the board. I know we got some youngins who dont remember what he did in DET's early years
