Jerry West Hired Cho Fired
Why are these teams making moves within their FO when they have failed to meet expectations, yet this dick Higgins still has a job?
As you all know Jerry West is one of the best GMs there was/is. I would've came in my pants if MJ got up off his ass fired Higgins and hired Jerry West. It seems MJ is content on having a GM running things, who is content himself, with mediocrity.

I think Hendo is the next MJ. Clearly already a better player than MJ was at this point in his career. Maybe better than SJack.We'll have to see but, this guy looks like 2nd GOAT (behind Allen Iverson) material to me
...eh, what?
Higgins has done a pretty good job considering the restraints he had from his hiring in 2007 until February '10, then the different type of restraints he's had from MJ.
Find a move we've made since he was hired that wasn't a Larry move (Gana, DJ over Lopez, Lexy, Vladi, etc) or an MJ/Bob move (Okafor for Chandler, Chandler for Eddie, etc) that he's flunked on. Please.
TC trade...come on that was a stupid trade, can't defend that. Wallace trade, time will tell if that was a good move or not.
Larry move schmarry move, MJ/Bob schmob... just like Higgins wasn't responsible for drafting Morrison, May, not trading up for CP3...right. Even if Higgins sits back and takes it up the ass from MJ about who to draft and who to trade for, give me one good move that Higgins HAS made on his own merit, that has put this franchise in better shape for the future?
What matters is, where has he gotten us? Playoffs 1st round sweep. WOW yeah that's looking good on his resume isn't it and based on the fact that he never made an impact trade, move that got us there in the 1st place, he can only be credited for 40% of that.
Where can a GM like Jerry West or Kevin Pritchard take us? Further than Higgins has that's for sure.

TC trades (both) were because of cost-cutting. That has nothing to do with Higgins.Originally Posted by Marvel
Higgins drafted Hendo and UPS, traded for J-Rich and Jack, and I'd say he had a good bit to do with the GW trade (with MJ's blessing). And probably the Livingston and Kwame signings.
I don't really get the Cho firing. The Blazers without question gave Dallas, one win shy of the NBA finals, a much better fight than the two time defending champions. They also fired the previous GM on draft day yet let him make a trade and a draft pick?
