Its a thin line between being a good GM and a bad GM in the NBA. Alot of it depends on luck.

Yep, for example, Dwight Howard and Kwame Brown were similar prospects coming out of high school. Both were big men with the skills to eventually be great, and both were projected to be picked within the first couple of picks based mostly on potential. But each also carried a lot of risk because nobody knew how they would handle the rigors of the NBA, and there were questions about the maturity level of each. Unfortunately for Jordan, Brown wasn't emotionally ready to deal with life in the NBA, nor was he willing to put in the effort necessary to reach his potential, whereas Howard was just the opposite.

But based on what was known prior to their respective drafts, there was no way to know who would do what. So, in a sense, Jordan was unlucky that Brown did not have the proper mental toughness and work ethic, while the Magic were lucky that Howard had the right makeup to push himself. You never know what you get until you get him on the court.

      Former RB Mike Davis on Rhule and CMC

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      I agree Tepper completely bumbled everything after purchasing the Panthers. Kept Rivera and Hurney too long, including letting Hurney last into Matt Rhule’s tenure instead of hiring a GM to hire the head coach, and then hiring Matt Rhule and giving him way too much power, then keeping him into year 3. For all the reputation Tepper has as having too quick of a trigger finger with coaches/GMs, it is entirely unwarranted. 2 out of 3 head coaches and GMs he kept too long. That being said, it would have all probably ended up fine if Matt Rhule had not been a complete egotistical idiot who felt the need to piss all over everything about the franchise to mark his territory. All he had to do was keep Cam on the last year of his contract, listen to 1st round draft genius Marty Hurney and go up and get Justin Herbert, and not trade for reclamation project QBs every year. And now hearing poo like this, how about not run your star RB in goal line drills his first practice back from injury. I wish Matt Rhule nothing but the worst in his coaching career because it was his hubris and arrogance that led to all of this.

      53 Man Roster

      Chris Paul Jr should be high on the list. He might be able to start by mid-season (time to pick up the defense). He's already better at beating/shedding blocks than any other ILB on the roster.  So tired of watching guys run into OGs and play push with them. Beat the friggin block so you can make a friggin tackle!------- Please!

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Sir, the Panthers are not going to have a winning season this year. They're too young/inexperienced at the skill positions. I'd say 2026 is the season for winning expectations. This year is for development.
