Idiot Managers

Larry Harris is quickly giving himself the reputation of being the Ned Yost of NBA General Managers. Don't get me wrong the NBA is dead to me but every so often I come up for air to see if the NBA has done anything to redeem itself, not yet it hasn't.

I tuned into the NBA draft to watch and get a good sense of which new over-paid man-giant will do something stupid and be out of the league (either banned, or injured out ala Jason Williams). By guess is Joakim Noah, that guy was an arrogant prick in college, wasn't the best player on his team but thought he was, and refused to work out for many teams. (Plus he was wearing a brown bow tie on draft night)

Back to the idiot Larry Harris. That guy has done nothing positive for the franchise since gaining the reigns. I don't even know how was given the position, with no experience as GM or as coach, I guess because he is Dell Harris' son, woopdie-doo-da.

Why in god's name would you draft someone who is over-rated and has said he refuses to play here. As someone put it. "he is the (Chinese) Shawn Bradley. They play a different game over in China (if you don't play how they tell you they kill your family) and that doesn't usually correlate over to the American game. Look at Yao Ming, he's good but no where near what they though he would be coming over from China a few years back. PLus the major point is that this guy refused to come here for a workout and even told the Bucks not to draft him. Why would you want someone to play for you that does not want to be there. Thats like a company trying to hire someone that does not want to work for you, and even didn't fill out an application.

So it remains the same, the NBA is still dead to me, and now Larry Harris has joined those ranks and is dead to me. Congrats!
