You Cav fans amaze me. Every time Alan makes a credible critisizm of front office bungling ……. you throw the “NBA finals” out like Ferry had anything at all to do with it. BTW to get to the finals in the east is not akin to earning a nobel prize… they made it to the finals by default in a crappy conference and were totaly outplayed by a Spurs team that must have felt like they were playing the JV after getting through the Western Conference. The east is full of mediocre teams and the fact that this team went to the finals does NOT mean that they are a better team than any of the 80’s or 90’s teams ( THAT WERE MUCH BETTER ) that had to get through MJ’s Bulls, PE’s Knicks, or for that matter the Reggie & his Pacer teams. WAKE UP you JV loosers

[...] Pavlovic and Anderson Varejao, who are holding out for ridiculous amounts of money they’re probably not going to get. Well, we’re starting to see some of that come to fruition. I wondered whose side LeBron [...]

Huh? First, I didn’t say Ferry will sign the Eurostiff to a big deal. Just Varejao. A little over the mid-level exception really isn’t a “big” deal, per se, but compared to what he’s really worth, I suppose it is.

As far as Ferry’s stiff time with the Cavs, it’s Gund’s fault, it’s Embry’s fault, it’s Ferry’s fault. What’s the difference who traded for him. He destroyed Magic’s Team of the 90s. He’s bad, bad karma. Making Ferry the Cavs GM was the equivalent of making Mike Phipps the Browns GM. Anybody who was around when that latter trade was made understands exactly what I’m talking about.

Alan — I don’t recall Ferry insisting that the Cavs trade Ron Harper for himself? How is this Ferry’s fault? Blame Gordon Gund and Wayne Embry for that one. Ferry turned out to be exactly the type of NBA player that every other team in the league thought he’d be. The Cavs evaluation was wrong. Again, how is this Ferry’s fault?

I also noticed that you’ve ignored my challenge. You predicted Ferry would cave and sign Andy and Sasha to big deals. I say you’ll be wrong.

Uh … no, Chuck. I’d be saying the same thing if Paxson made such unbelievably idiotic moves. Or Embry. Or Weltman. Or Stepien. Or Delaney. Or Musselman. Or Fitch. Or Mileti.

But the fact is, it was Ferry. The fact that he is also the exact same symbol of the effective destruction of Magic Johnson’s future “Team of the 90s” is just the exclamation point.

“By all rights, the Cavs should have been the team that plows their way to NBA titles. Now it’s never going to happen, and any Cavs fan who isn’t upset and frustrated by all this just wasn’t around when Ferry ruined the 90s Cavs with his first tour of duty.” - Alan T.

I think this says all you need to know about Alan T’s perspective. Because the team hasn’t won a title already Ferry’s a failure in his eyes, and doesn’t believe it’s possible. And the root of it that Alan still hates Ferry for the trade Embry made so long ago.

Hey Alan if a GM doesn’t matter, you would be one by now. Just as I thought, you can’t contradict my facts so you try to throw some bs at it and see if it sticks, just keep writing your little thoughts Alan because I get quite a laugh reading them. Unfortunately when the Cavs win a title you will still suffer from little man disease and not enjoy it. Congrats on your dog finding an oil well by the way, must be why you have all day and night to blog.

Brian, Ferry has had as much to do with the Cavs doing anything as the hair on your own toes. If you bought a house, and a month later your dog dug up an oil well in the backyard, would you then claim that you’re a certifiable genius for buying the house?

Seriously, what executive skills are required to sign a front office contract and have LeBron James as your best employee? If Paxson would have been allowed to remain on board, as dumb as Paxson was, he’d have “led” the Cavaliers to the same position. Ferry has had nothing to do with it.
