The Athletic reports that Marty Hurney will stay on as GM, and is negotiating contracts for Bradberry and Boston

This is mega disheartening.  I don't even know what to say anymore.  Boston is not worth anything more than 1 year contracts through the remainder of his career.  Would be absurd to have both him and Reid on the books.  They were awful. 

And if Bradberry is getting 13 mil+, we'll have so much unnecessary money tied up in the secondary when it needs to be properly allocated throughout the team.  We'll have nothing to put into the lines on either side with the contracts at LB and the Secondary.

Everyone is overreacting,  Hurney is not a bad GM.  And before someone shows me the overall record of the team while he was here,  overall record is not indicative of how good of a job the GM did. The GM builds a team according to how the head coach wants his team to look.  Obviously Tepper believes he provided Rivera with enough talent to win, and he didn't.  

There is a lot more evidence that supports Hurney being a bad GM than a good one.

He is bad at building teams, he is bad at contracts and he is bad at drafting outside of the 1st but he isn't a bad GM? That is a load of crap. What he is good at has noting to do with football but an owner's balls.

Unless I missed it, does Hurney signing Boston not seem a bit ironic?  He's having to ink a JAG to replace his bust 3rd rounder.  You couldn't make this crap up!

Tre Boston had a very under the radar, great season, for a terrible defense.  He might have been our 2nd or 3rd best player on defense this year.

Check out his PFF grade

Just because no one wanted him, doesn't mean he's not good;  a lot of guys end up undervalued by the market for one reason or another.

And I'm sure Tepper is Richardson's progressive plant. Keeping Hurney dispite his machinations leading this team to straight up NFL purgatory.

 

Oh and the statue thing is still really fuging weird. Is that claused in or something in the bill of sale or whatever? fug this team.

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
