funny thing is, if he'd just let the front office do their job, he'd probably get redemption for the Rudy T hire and be considered a good owner.
if he just did NOTHING. :laugh: this guy has no intuition, common sense, or knowledge of the game.
remember about his scouting statement? "get any 5 guys out of a bar and they can scout as much as professionals"
a damn straight lie, i never met anyone that i can have a intelligent basketball conversation with. whether if its regarding contracts, foot work, post games, court vision, etc etc.
most people dont know absolute shit.

The other mistake I forgot to add was not trying to smooth out the Chris Paul Trade. Instead, he just let it die. David Stern did what the rest of the NBA owners, who he works for, told him to do. Jimmy should've got on the phone, like his dad would've, and spoke to the Dan Gilbert's, the Mark Cuban's and try to make the situation right.
Ultimately, dude is struggling to live in his dad's shadow. He's trying to "prove" that he's his own man. It's not working out. Every major move that has happened with the team, with Jim at the head of the table, has been terrible. Until he changes his ways or the team let's Jeenie (and by proxy Phil Jackson) run the team, this is the path the team will continue on.

LOL NEVER THAT
AND CP3 WAS NEVER COMIN TO THE LAKESHOW...THAT VETO WAS THE TURNING POINT, HONESTLY. HAD THAT TRADE WENT THROUGH, JIM BUSS WOULD CURRENTLY BE REVERED AS A GENIUS AND HE'D BE BUILDING OFF THAT GOOD ENERGY.

that veto cost us another dynasty, straight up
duno if it was mitch or not, but it was under jim's watch...I think that veto was the turning point in jim losing his confidence as an owner
david stern fucked us
a couple good picks in the draft this year can erase that...
M Dogg™:
See, a sign and trade with Howard would have gotten picks this year. Man, Mitch fucked that up, he should have signed and traded Howard for picks now.
