Re: Not as Bad as the Record Indicates
Grant played a major role in talent evaluation for Ferry - so no reason to let him off the hook for the players that were already on the roster that he decided to keep/dump. He also had cap space to spend and chose not to do it.
What it comes down to is he shouldn't get a pass just because we had traded away our draft picks or that he was trying to tank. Every move and non-move effects the future of the franchise and it's hard to argue that tanking to the degree we did was necessary when Grant keeps snagging players who were expected to go 6 slots later than we took them.
Telfair,Powe, Williams, and Eyenga were all Ferry pick ups. And of those other names the giant mistake is Danny Green. But he's a 'nice' player. Nothing special you can't find. And I don't think all those players were taken in to win games. They were bodies to fill out the roster. Grant truly understands that you have to be really bad before you are good.
