"And Justise for All" (@30for30 ad): "What if I told you Michael Jordan passed up Boston's mega-Godfather offer for... Frank Kaminsky?"

:oldlol:

[kamil]

It's been said that MJ often favours people he knows regardless of talent (his starting 5 included James Worthy, an NC connection).

But then there's this on Kaminsky's wikipedia page:


Kaminsky's father, Frank, played basketball at Lewis University. His mother, Mary, played volleyball at Northwestern.[5] In 1998, when he was 5 years old, his aunt and uncle worked for the Chicago Bulls and he had access to the practice facility when Michael Jordan, Dennis Rodman and Randy Brown were there.

Christ, MJ is a dumbass when it comes to managing a team.

[SouBeachTalents]

Jordan as GM is literally the antithesis of what he was as a player

[chocolatethunder]

Jordan is a moron but Rich Cho is the GM and Bostons offer of a bunch of shitty first round picks isn't any good. Who wants picks outside of the top 10? Offering someone the 20th pick or 18th pick might as well be the 30th or 35th pick. There's not much difference.

[Mr. Jabbar]

Meanwhile in LA.....GMbe passing on Okafor for GOAT'Angelo :applause:

Really? The Brooklyn pick in itself is a guaranteed top 10 pick.

[HighFlyer23]

Worst person you can have involved with running a franchise.

He's as bad as it as he was as good of a player.

They offered the unprotected BKN first.

Jordan's "legacy": Kwame Brown, 1-9, and Frank Kaminsky

The guy is just a complete failure in life, good thing big d*ck Pippen was there to help him out :oldlol:

[Mr. Jabbar]

i might have to drop jordan out of the top 1 for this. grats KAJ :applause:

[SexSymbol]

inb4 Kaminsky is a 10x all-star

[HurricaneKid]

Ford tweeted before the draft that Kaminsky was climbing and had a promise at 9. Which means if Char ever wanted a FA ever again they had to uphold their promise to Frank and his agent. Why teams make promises like that is beyond me. I'm the biggest WI homer there is and I would have thrown Kaminsky overboard for a shot at Winston. Justice at 10 reminds me of Pierce's precipitous drop to 10.

:biggums:


MJ :facepalm

fixed

[Crown&Coke]

I don't know.

4 first round picks right. So this years two picks probably, which were 16th and 28th

That's two picks where you aren't netting a top flight talent.

If they did their homework on the tank and still felt it wasn't worth it I will give them the benefit of the doubt, because Celtics have been raping other teams in terms of trading recently.

Putting Frank next to Al sounds like a nice idea

[Lebron23]

Typical Jordan Move. I knew it that they were going to draft Kaminsky if he was still available. I hope he motivates Batum to become a solid player in the league. Dude is a very good player, but he never reached his potential in Portland. and he regressed this off season.

[inclinerator]

kaminsky is an allstar level big

[HomieWeMajor]

Mike L Jordan

[Kvnzhangyay]

GOAT player is the WOAT gm :facepalm

[tpols]

Stubborn to the point of stupidity

[Asukal]

ROFL at all these Jordan haters. Yeah sure he sucks at team management, still doesn't change the fact that he is the GOAT. :oldlol: :lol

Rent free b!tches! :lebroncry:

[raprap]

LeGM and GMbe is already better than this asshole. Now I know why he sucks in gambling. :lol

[DMAVS41]

What is stupid is drafting Kaminsky.

I'd rather have Winslow than the Celtics offer...and LOL...so would the Celtics.

[Lebron23]

I hope the Hornets fire his @$$. I respect him for being able to bring back the Hornets to Charlotte.

[CelticBaller]

He owns the team :confusedshrug:

[veilside23]

what happened to you ? who do they need to fire? jordan? he owns the team dude... is that what happens when you focus to much on lebron? :rolleyes:

yes its a big risk pick ... they just lose stephenson added batum and lamb and they have mkg ... so getting winslow was like giving up on mkg already and yes they have batum ?

I understand its the 9th pick but lets not act like it matters a lot. I think he would be able to contribute right away.

[buddha]

people act like Jordan is trying to build a championship team. that cheap nikka don't want to pay the luxury tax. he's about his money, he ain't gonna draft no stars.

The best athletes generally don't make the best managers/coaches.

The way they process the game is unique to them and it doesn't translate to being a coach or manager.

The attributes that make a great player -- aggressiveness, going off gut instinct, wanting to get things done now, focus in the moment ... aren't what makes a good coach or GM.

Wayne Gretzky was a mediocre hockey coach in the NHL.

Magic was terrible as coach of the Lakers.

Isiah Thomas in New York ... uh, yeah.

Kareem was never really given a real gig by anyone.

The only NBA great I think that's really done well in a front office/coaching position is Jerry West and I guess Bill Russell was player/coach. Larry Bird was ok.

It'll be the same for LeBron and Kobe once they retire, don't see either one making a good coach or GM.

[livingby3's]

Maybe Pippen can help him turn his team around, again

[rufuspaul]

Here is the problem with the Celtics and Sixers. They sit back and sell hope to their fans because they have collected all of these "assets." The problem with most of these awesome assets is that 2nd round picks and late first round super protected picks from good teams that won’t convey for 5 years and when they do might actually turn into second rounders don’t really have any value. And when you sell that story and then can’t cash them in for anything, you whine like a little bitch to your fans so they blame teams like Charlotte for not taking a dime, nickel, and 4 pennies for a quarter. Ainge and Hinkie can’t admit that they haven’t accomplished anything yet so they deflect. I mean, who doesn’t like Philly’s plan of collecting 13 second round picks every year?

From another forum

[ralph_i_el]

Batum-Kaminsky-Jefferson front line could do some damage with the right coach.

Hornets will have much better spacing this year than last. Batum and Kaminsky both have good floor vision and the ability to shoot.

[GimmeThat]

If I had to change the approach to the game, I may as well try the comfort of another

[Profound]

This, people act like mid to late 1st round and 2nd round picks are sooo valuable. As for drafting Kaminsky we're not even sure if it's the right or wrong move yet, I would like to see the guy play before I say all of that.

[Hey Yo]

MJ didn't draft Winslow cause he knows he can beat Kaminsky one-on-one.

That's what matters most to MJ.

[veilside23]

people fail to realize that they traded to get batum and they already have MKG .. what do you guys want for them to get 3 SF?

[dubeta]

Maybe Pippen can help him turn his team around, again

This, I feel bad for MJ whenever he does something bball related without Pippen on his side, it exposes the real Jordan and it's embarrassing to watch.

Stop using logic on here lol! Solid post but some 15 year old is going to start crying "1-9" to use it as a coping mechanism for not having ever been able to witness true GOAT play. :oldlol:


This, I feel bad for Bron whenever he does something bball related without Wade on his side, it exposes the real Bron (2/6) and it's embarrassing to watch.

Yup.... to easy.

[fos]

Is it me or does he draft an unusual amount of white guys in the lottery? Morrison, Zeller, and Kaminsky?

[dreamwarrior]

The headline on this link:
"Michael Jordan wanted Frank Kaminsky more badly than anybody has ever wanted anything"

[dreamwarrior]

But honestly, Jordan in the FO has always been about making the team profitable, not winning championships. He set the Wizards on the path to where they are today and since taking over the Bobcats he's nearly tripled their value.

[bluechox2]

they offered 6 picks that they made available yea, but told him to pick 1 in the first and 1 in the 2nd

[FKAri]

MJ didn't draft Winslow cause he knows he can beat Kaminsky one-on-one.

:lol underrated post

[RoTM]

You have to assume the Nugs, Pistons, and Heat, maybe others even, turned them down as well. I don't like the Kaminsky pick but apparently Phil Jackson thought he'd be good enough to consider him at 4. So I'll wait on it.
