Joe Dumars for GM of the Year

by Behaviorla on Nov 10, 2008 5:22 PM EST

One year after Kevin McHale deservedly won the GM of the year award for delivering KG to the C's leading to #17, Joe Dumars, not to be outdone, deals Chauncey Billups for AI. Again with #18 in mind for his archrivals, he traded the best clutch player/team leader/nightmare match-up for the C's for a volume shooting/offensive flow crushing/non-point guard. He even attempted to trump this by hanging the potential of a better offensive option than PJ/veteran presence out there to aid the cause.

I say if we do win #18 we consider hanging a #4 jersey in the rafters to join last years #32

Be respectful and keep it clean. Thanks.

I realize our boys did us proud in Detroit on Sunday night,

but two games seems a bit early to start passing any definitive judgment on Dumars’ acquisition of the third leading average scorer in NBA history.

Manuel Aristides Ramirez is the greatest hitter I've ever seen.

That trade was about the future

The cap space that deal creates sets up Detroit to transition from eras without having to painfully rebuild. Even if they fall flat and don’t return to the ECF this year this trade cannot be judged a failure until we see who Dumars can sign with the financial freedom he’s created.

Detroit has conceded

Rondo is only better than last year, and Sheed is definitely looking worse. We match up incredibly well with Detroit. They don’t stand a chance and the AI trade was purely a monetary one.

God bless and good night!
