You can thank Whitshits replacement for that one. It was some idiot... um.. oh ya.. that idiot Walker Walker. The same guys who fired Geogre Karl. Wasted money on McIvanie and trade Kemp for a fat bosser named Vin Baker.<BR/><BR/>No Whitsitt was busy trading for Rasheed Wallace, and coaxing Sabonis to come and playing in the US by the time the Sonics sign McIvanie.mcwalter44https://www.blogger.com/profile/05565716498050495890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-21530597752709240592007-10-17T13:56:00.000-07:002007-10-17T13:56:00.000-07:00Ryan, wasn't Whitsitt the one that signed Jim McIl...<I>Ryan, wasn't Whitsitt the one that signed Jim McIlvane</I><BR/><BR/>That one was Wally all the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-64591829246830425802007-10-17T13:29:00.000-07:002007-10-17T13:29:00.000-07:00Ryan, wasn't Whitsitt the one that signed Jim McIl...Ryan, wasn't Whitsitt the one that signed Jim McIlvane (sp?, too lazy to look him up) and began the descent to mediocrity with an upset Shawn Kemp never looking as good after the signing as he did before.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it was coincidental. But handing a 7'1" stiff a huge contract and having your superstar play for near pennies is no way to build morale.<BR/><BR/>Nope. I'm glad Whitsitt is long gone. As a Seahawk fan I can say that comfortably as well. And I'm certain there are quite a few "jail" Blazer former fans that would say the same. Many of which have never come back to the game...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-61789561939831170562007-10-17T12:27:00.000-07:002007-10-17T12:27:00.000-07:00Amen to that, Silvio. I totally agree that it's a ...Amen to that, Silvio. I totally agree that it's a real joy having a sense of security in your GM. As a Seattle fan, it's not something I'm used to. In fact, I think I'd have to go back to Bob Whitsitt to remember a time when I didn't even worry about the moves the front office made, just because I figured they knew what they were doing, and who was I to argue?<BR/><BR/>There's this positive, too. If the whole team knows they're on a sort-of probation, they'll be busting their asses all year long. Should make for some good play, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-75056323694781512492007-10-17T12:23:00.000-07:002007-10-17T12:23:00.000-07:00You're right, it probably will be an "exhibition" ...You're right, it probably will be an "exhibition" year for the future of this franchise, but as a fan you at least have a sense that there's a plan behind the madness since Presti took over. <BR/>Something that couldn't be said about those Sund/Walker years.<BR/><BR/>Though, i'd rather have Derrick Rose then Mayo. :-)<BR/><BR/>But hey, there'll be a lot of talented guys like Rose, Mayo, Beasley, Eric Gordon, Darren Collison, Chase Budinger, Darrell Arthur, DeAndre Jordan, Nicholas Batum, Jerryd Bayless and many more avaible with a lotto pick in next years draft.<BR/><BR/>And the way i see it, is that the worst thing that could happen to us, is us adding one of those guys to our team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-42122912463280240422007-10-17T10:16:00.000-07:002007-10-17T10:16:00.000-07:00It definately is going to be interesting to see ho...It definately is going to be interesting to see how things work out.
