lol more laughter at work. Thanks guys! A pure [censored] GM like Knight who can't even break THIRTY WINS IN A SEASON is better than a consistent playoff GM! ROFLMAO!

A trained monkey could win games as a GM with the team Babcock inherited.

A trained monkey with a dart board and a mock draft from ESPN could draft better than Babcock did.

Babcock record in other areas is mixed but much better and did allow the team to tread water until the lack of young talent caught up with them (trades were mixed like Nique trade; Willis trade; Mookie trade; Rider trade; etc. and FA was mixed with acquisitions like Mutombo; Norman; etc.)

The bottomline is you are comparing apples to oranges if you are comparing a GM with broad discretion and a playoff ready roster with a losing team bereft of young talent that needed to be scrapped while the GM dealt with significant personnel and financial constraints.

You can still argue Babcock did a better job but just the surface Ws and Ls evaluation isn't very meaningful.

Just as a follow-up, here is John Hollinger's comment on BK's ability (or lack thereof) to complete a trade due to ownership constraints:

Forget about a trade -- [the Hawks] have their hands tied behind their backs until the ownership situation gets settled, which should happen some time after the sun runs out of energy and becomes a white dwarf.
