Sleepinghero deleted his post, but what he said is extremely true. Donnie is a great-to-best talent scout in the business. That does not make him a good GM, it makes him one of the best talent finders in the league. (Edit) Even when he knows a guy is gonna be really good, he doesn’t even have the negotiating skill to convince the guy who hired him to take that player.
