    Since I'm a responsible journalist (hey, everybody can claim to be one these days), I'll offer the other side of my scathing criticism of Sarkisian and his Budzian issue ...

    Seems he is indeed in acknowledgment of his problem and is getting treatment.  Kudos to him.

    Responsible journalist?  Yikes.  Seems like an oxymoron

    2 SGs, a point SF, and 2 stretch 4s would be a pretty wild and interesting lineup to strategically run out there on occasion. 

    Would be interesting on offense maybe.....but defense?

    I'm sorry... all he has done thus far is have a firesale.

    Image result for how to have a firesale

     

    Every GM knows how to have a successful firesale.. 

    BK had a very successful Firesale.

    Ferry had a very successful Firesale. 

    Babcock even knew how to have a firesale when he felt the time was needed. 

     

    So a firesale is not new and it's not what should be applauded... However, you can make mistakes in a firesale..... 

    I think Schlenk has done that.  Both with the Dwight trade and with the Crawford Buyout, I think Schlenk has made mistakes in the firesale.  Both of those guys had value and Schlenk misjudged their value.  Yet... Adoring fans want to give him the biggest congratulation for moving those contracts and taking bad deals in the process.  ON the Dwight trade, we took back a bad, longer contract and loss a draft spot.  Moneywise it was a trade of 46 Million to 37.5 Million.  That 8.5 Million difference in this economy is MEANingless.   Not to mention, we will be paying Plumlee 12.5 Million dollars in a time where Dwight would have been gone.  Both Dwight and Crawford's contract would have been more valuable next year but we squandered that... WHY?  Here's the problem... we're not trying to be competitive.   It's not like we have said FA in our target and needed to clear cap space to get him..  We're just having a firesale and hoping to tank.   So this adoration for Schlenk because he is able to trade players is unfounded.   Anybody can get rid of Salary.. especially when you trade a top rebounder for a guy who gets you 2ppg and 2 rpg and cost you 12.5 Million dollars per to do it.   Or when you pay a guy 22 Million dollars to leave.

    WTF?
