Surprised he kept his job as long as he did.

That was because of the insane loyalty of Leonsis. Loyalty can be a good thing at times but quite often a burden.

The Washington Wizards have fired GM Ernie Grunfeld, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

Yes!!!!!!!! It may not be better for the next year or two but hopefully this is a real positive long term. Hopefully Brooks is next.

Depending on who they replace Grunfeld with....

 

[DJ Fieri]

Eventually, Brooks will get fired and he should consider going to a college to continue his coaching career.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Vandy is talking to Jerry Stackhouse about being their new coach.

 

[Wishbone]

The Lakers have Alex Caruso. He OWNS Westbrick. lol

Is that Robinsons brother?

 

[YourFriendGannon]

Amazing. Grunfeld was the Wizards GM almost 4x as long as he was the Bucks GM. BBRef lists his first transaction there as the signing of Gilbert Arenas. Leonsis bought the team almost 9 years ago. And many of us could tell 8+ years ago the ownership change was quite fortuitous for Grunfeld's survival. I can't believe it's been that long.

I mean at least the Arenas contract is in the ballpark as bad as Walls

 

[YourFriendGannon]

They need a rule or a clause to help save teams from themselves with those supermaxes, the Grunfeld Rule. He should be the new Ted Stepien.

@tlance

Was Errnie's big mistake not bringing in PP when he had the chance when he still had some gas left in the tank?

Nice joke but the kid has shown he deserves to play in this League.

Not gonna lie. Took me a minute on that one. lol

Sad thing is no. I don't believe it is.

He did bring in Paul Pierce for a year.

But if you really want to know Ernie's biggest mistakes, that would take awhile to list.

Players association would never go for it though.

I think GMs just need to be better at their jobs and not offer stupid money at whoever is available just because they have cap space.

Seems like things have gotten better recently, but there will always be terrible contracts out there somewhere.

yes. May providence and his boy Friday guide him.

I read Robinson Crusoe a long time ago.....

 

[WiggyRuss]

So the Thunder are a double digit favorite over the lakers tonight. This should go well.

maybe hte Lakers can continue to destroy their chances at a top 4 pick.......oh wait...too late...lol

My favorite WTF Ernie Grunfeld moments
1. $111 Arenas extension coming off major knee surgery
2. No. 5 for Miller and Foye in the Curry draft
3. 64m for Ian Mahimni
4. Jan Vesely, no. 6 pick
5. Big Andray Blatche extension that almost immediately had to be amnestied
