Speaking of Vin Baker, I remember how hard I tried to convince myself that it might work with Vinny. Oh, those were the days. Oh well.

I don't remember if this is within the last 15 years, but I hated it when Boston brought Dominique into town.

hiring Rick Pitino

Yup. He had no class and in the process he set our organization back 10 years. In hindsight, I would have paid for us to abort plan Pitino.

Andrew Declerq and a 1st round pick (sure fire top ten pick) for Vitaly Potapenko

first round pick was then used to draft Andre Miller

Some examples:

- The Walker trade for LaFrentz was quite depressing at the time. Say what you want, but at least Toine did exciting (and yet too crazy) things on court. Raef was boring and we also got Welsch who couldn't score 2 3pts in a row...

- I hated Gary Payton in green

- Kenny for Gin Baker was another sad move and we paid for it for some years. Just sad

- Kedrick Brown, Joe Forte and Jerome Moiso draft choices couldn't be any worse

- Resigning O'Brien wasn't a good decision either, considering that Danny didn't agree with Obie ball much

We traded Knight after one year for Tony Battie

We traded Jiri Welsch for a pick which we traded for the Rajon Rondo pick.

But at the time, the Travis Knight signing was pretty pathetic...

I also want to mention how i was really unhappy with not resigning Posey, regardless of the number of years on the contract.  With his contributions in the 2008 postseason, it was impossible for me to imagine replacing him, let alone with Tony Allen.

Yeah agreed. We lost Wesley and Fox too in order to sign Knight amongst others.

Wasn't Knight a Laker at one point as well? I believe they have equally fond memories.

To be fair, when teams screw up, it usually is chasing a big man. There's just something about size in the NBA that will always cause GM's to lose their minds, albeit temporarily.

Hence Knight, Vitaly (Awful Player), Baker, Rodgers, Moiso. LOL. Terrible..

Let's not forget Acie Earl and Eric Montross either (I forget whether or not they fall in the last 15 years).

Both trades involving Ricky Davis.  I hated trading for him, but he always hustled on the court.  I hated to see him leave especially for the opt injured Wally.

ricky always hustled but i think it was for show, he'd be playing really good defense at the beginning but then end of games when it mattered he always (to me) seemed to be playing for himself
eric montross! forgot about him,
how long did he last in the nba?
just shows if a player comes from nc, kansas,duke and has a following he'll get drafted much higher than he should be

Case and point... Paul Pierce.  What has he ever done in the NBA?
