Not to defend him, but to put Chris Wallace in 
perspective, Sam Smith quotes Rod Thorn saying AFTER 
drafting Jordan with the No. 3 pick that "He's not the 
kind of player to turn a franchise around."

http://espn.go.com/nba/columns/smith_sam/1475855.html

Thorn is the reigning NBA GM of the Year, the guy who 
trade for Dikembe Mutombo, a guy nearly a decade older 
than Vin Baker and whose salary won't clear the cap until 
2005.  

There's got to be some perspective. The Celtics went to 
the conference championship the first year he took full 
control. Now they are in sole possession first place.  

Like it or not, this guy probably doesn't deserve to be 
called a failure. Call him "lucky" maybe, but I'm happy 
with lucky any day when it concerns the Boston Celtics.

Its really too bad CW added Vin Baker, but frankly its 
also too bad Larry Bird drafted and extended Austin 
Croshere to a Vin Baker length contract, or drafted 
Bender, or signed Chris Mullen etc. The whole 
organization has to be excellent in order to win, 
starting with the owners.
