But is that enough? How much champion title from 2007 till now, under Doc epoch, would have gotten Cs team with another GM like Pat Riley for example? If you answer this question you will find a reasonable way to admit the truth. In 2001 this GM send out our best big guy, Perkins. As the result Cs lost 1st seed @East and got eliminated by Miami Heat. Waiving Ray for zero money, one of the best snipers of the NBA. And do not forget the catastrophically money management when ate age of 35 this GM offer PP 15.5 mill/season (?) So, defending a GM who is not doing a good job for a long time, is not fair…
There are a lot of errors in this post. Let me correct some of them for you, since you are having a hard time with the facts.
1) It wasn't 2001 that DA traded Perk, it was 2011
2) Trading perk in 2011 wasn't a huge factor in where we ended seed wise. Perk was still recovering from ACL surgery and wasn't a difference maker in our record. A bigger impact was resting starters down the stretch.
3) DA didn't waive RA. He was a free agent. This is a really basic thing you should understand. Ray Allen choose to go to the Heat because he was a free agent. DA offered him a larger contract thank Miami so it had nothing to do with DA at all.
