Who did you prefer at the time?

Wayne Fontes

Bill Laimbeer

Swanigan and Wilson came out well.

Wtf with  Cavs firing GM?  I dont even know his name but I thought they did an outstanding job assembling that team

Furreal? Luck into two top picks and hope a once in a generation player gives you a home town discount.

Draft experts seem to really like Kennard. Seeing comparisons to Ginobili. For real?

Or win the first major sports championship in Cleveland in 80 years by beating the team with the best record in NBA history in the finals

Is that on the GM though?

I don't know a thing about Kennard, except that he's the best shooter in the draft and can't play NBA defense. That doesn't sound all that promising. Oh well, another year ignoring the Pistons. Go Warriors!

It was about 75% Lebron and 25% finding his supporting cast.  He deserves a lot of credit for the latter, or whoever put that team together does which I assume was him.  With the big 3 and rounding it out with three point shooters like Smith, Schumpert and Korver.  I think they were #2 to GS in 3 point shooting if not #1.
