He's certainly not mine.
I think he did some good things, but lots of GMs do something good at some point. For Ujiri, (a) he had one big swing that worked out to win a title, but then just as quickly Kawhi was gone and the Raps' path went into the toilet, (b) he made some good draft picks (he was better than most at draft selections) but couldn't figure how how to make the pieces fit to be an elite team (other than when the infusion of Kawhi for a year fixed everything), and © his trade results didn't really pop to improve the team, with some of them simply making them worse.
I want the best.
Presti, please.
Not really a fan of Uriji, but using him as an illustration of how today’s bright, shiny winner can quickly turn into tomorrow’s dull, boring loser.
All it takes is a couple of misses to tank a GM’s perceived prowess. How’s Danny Ainge doing? At one point, he could do no wrong.
Is there a regression to the mean?
