[Repole]

worst gm is not danny ainge, i felt this way too for a bit but after the davis trade it comes down too who would u rather have:

walker, eric williams, tony battie, tony delk

or

davis, jiri welsch, raef lafrentz, and chris mihm

well, mihm and battie are trade offs, so get rid of them.

Davis < Walker
Davis and walker can both score 20 a night, dish out 5 assists, but walker can rebound a bit better than ricky, that's where walker gets a slight edge.

Welsch > Williams
Williams is a smarter player than jiri and is a better rebounder. How ever jiri is a superior scorer and passer, along with him having serious upside. Also williams would not have been back for the celts next year and jiri has 3 years left on his contract.

Lafrentz > Delk
Lafrentz has tons of talent when healthy, we all know that. He's a 15 pt scorer night in, night out, a good rebounder and shot blocker, and a good defender. His contract brings his value down, along with health issues. but fact is he's a better all around player than delk. Delk can make big 3's down the stretch, but so can lafrentz.

Worst gm is the bulls gm (his name slips my mind) just to get rid of jalen rose he gives up one of his few talented players in marshall, and takes on davis' contract along with JYD's contract.
