Since we're on the topic of Kyrie today. I think it really shows how much of a horrible owner Gilbert is, that Koby Altman even has a job. Every single thing Altman(Or Gilbert) got out of Kyrie was a miserable failure and they completely judged wrong.
1) Isiah was a complete bust. Nothing about him was what they were hoping for. His hip, defense, attitude, future as an aging midget. All wrong.
2) They absolutely made the trade thinking the Nets pick would be 1-3.. they judged the Nets wrong. It was the 8th. Huge huge difference.
3) They made further trades for "up and coming young players" who turned out to be just plain bad. Clarkson, Hood, Nance have not improved at all and are career bench/fringe starters. Currently they are leading the Cavs to possibly the worst record in franchise history and maybe even league history. I'm sure alot of people are still high on guys like Nance but really none of these guys have shown they are going to be any better than what they are now. I'm also often a believer that you are what you are early in your career.
I liked alot of these trades at the time too but it's not my job that I get paid millions for. LeBron was right and Altman/Gilbert were way wrong. Plenty of GMs would have atleast got something right out of the situation. Imo Altman should have been fired even before the draft.
