Poor Atlanta - Diaw wins Most Improved Player Award

[Eggcentric at aol.com]

Oh no, I must be mellowing. Ainge doesn't seem so bad to me now 
when I consider that Atlanta could have drafted Chris Paul and kept 
Diaw instead of drafting ath-a-lete Marvin Williams and trading 
away their future for Joe Johnson.   Poor Steve Belkin ... he was right 
all along.

Of course Isiah still stands alone as the "Worstest Baddest Dumbest 
GM in the History of the World."   I'm just waiting for someone on 
the staff at Lenox Hill Hospital to finally leak the classified info 
that Knick's owner James Dolan of Cablevision billions, actually
did have a partial lobotomy on December 21, 2003.   Is there any 
other explanation?

And how about David West (17.1 ppg, 7.4 rpg, 51.2 fg%, 84.3 ft%)
being the runner-up for the most improved player award?    
Think it not a trifle, though it appear small,   that several months 
ago I was vigorously debated (i.e. creamed) when suggesting 
that Ainge would most certainly trade the disappointing Jefferson 
for West and two Hornet's 1st round picks.

Boris Diaw went from being a throw-in as part of the Joe Johnson trade to

first-place votes in balloting by 124 sports writers and sportscasters. 
He received 489 overall points, compared with 22 first-place votes and
