One offseason where he had a month to prepare is not in any way enough time for all the hate poured his way. I would've liked to see lots of moves that offseason, and there needs to be lots of moves going forward. I WILL start to sour on him if he doesn't make a move or 2 by the TDL this year.
Do you perceive that a lot of hate is being thrown Nico's way?
I haven't really gotten that feeling. I guess it could be construed as hate to say a person isn't qualified for the job he holds, in general. But specifically, if the guy has never done the job or anything like it, I think it's just a factual statement, and not a smear. He's essentially a trainee, at least at some aspects of the job.
If the Mavs don't make an in-season move that improves the team, I don't even really think it will be Nico's fault. How is he supposed to know what moves to make, or how to make them?
