Re: Other side of the Wallace argument
I seem to remember at one point Danny was talking about how
great it would be if he and Larry both came back to the
organization. Larry as President or something like that, with Ainge
as GM.
Now, I like Danny as I said, but I am not sure if he would be the
best. The GM back then was probably still Cotton Fitzsimmons or
something. I guess my concern is that with many former stars that
doesn't help either, Wes Unseld was horrible in Washington, and
contrary to what he might tell you, I think MJ has done a pretty
poor job. And of course the Clippers have been horrible forever.
After our BT gets a lobotomy, whose brain should we replace it
with? It would be great with a former Celt in there, but didn't work
with ML certainly. I would love to see Larry in that sort of job, but
not sure if it would work. I don't know, Don Nelson's kid seems to
do a decent job thanks to Mark Cuban's deep pockets, so maybe
anybody can do it.
Besides Larry, anyone else have a favorite candidate?

You bring up an interesting point. Larry Bird isn't the
only currently unemployed ex-Celtic with a decent resume.
Of course if Ainge joins us, it would mean even bigger
changes (Antoine etc.).
Whoever gets the credit, the Suns organization deserves
praise for drafting Marion and Stoudamire. Both picks
required a ton of research, and were by no means no-
brainers like Paul Pierce.
Marion is a skinny tweener and has the ugliest shot
release in the West. Stoudamire had fewer offensive
skills and less height than other recent high school
bigmen who are years away from contributing. Both went
higher than expected.
Personally, I was a big Ainge fan, but an even bigger
Pinckney fan.
