Saw a ranking of top front offices and they were top 5 - I don't get it at all. They are top 1 lucky, not top 5 good. They currently have the 2nd longest playoff drought in the league.
That is ridiculous. Getting way too much benefit of the doubt for what they were and not what they are. They may turn out great and they should have a really bright future, but look at their moves over the last 6-7 year timeframe. Making the pick on Castle looks to be very good. Vassel is a good player, but Haliburtan went after. Sochan is a solid player but Jalen Williams and Duren went after him.
They made a good decision to sell on Murray early. Not sure how those picks play out (not as good as initially thought), but they did good not getting stuck with a bad contract for Murray.
Overall, if you removed them getting lucky with Wemby most of their moves have not been very encouragint.
