Koby Altman nailed, then failed to take breathalyzer…

[PIP]

Stability in the front office and on the sideline….Needless to say the East is about to run through Cleveland again….

 

[shoes22]

Wow. Not to say that Koby doesn’t deserve it but that is a LONG extension for a (relatively) unproven GM. Dan just loves spreading the wealth.

I feel like @JJ_PR deserves some type of special badge in honor of starting this thread. Prophet in the face of adversity.

He's come a long way from "he may trade the first round pick for an established vet to save his job."

 

[AllforOne]

First JBB, now Koby.

The whole “Dan Gilbert is an impatient prick who fires his front office as soon as he hires them” narrative has taken a beating the past few weeks.

My main thought process is this:

Are the Cleveland Cavaliers, under Dan Gilbert or before that a team/franchise/city that can go out on the open market and secure the best available, already established names of the Front Office or Coaching world? Can they go head to head with the glamour cities, glamour franchises, etc to get those guys? History says the answer is an emphatic no.

So when you get a young guy who is growing into the job, has made some mistakes but also made some good moves and set things in a good direction, don't F around. Let this team hopefully enjoy the type of stability places like Utah has seen with hopefully some crests of the wave that take us higher than Utah has gone(another NBA Title).

But daydreaming of guys past and present like Phil Jackson, Larry Brown, Masai Ujiri, Sam Presti, and so on. That's just so unlikely to ever have happened or happen in the future.

So I welcome the stability and look forward to seeing if Koby can make some of the moves necessary in the next 1month, the offseason, and beyond.

Also........Koby Altman Nailed the Promotion.

 

[Real Deal]

Mobley changed the landscape.

That's when you know the Cavaliers have a transcendent player. Koby pushed a wrong button with Collin/Garland co-existing, it resulted in a lot of terrible losses. The Kevin Love contract people ripped him apart for. The trade of Rubio people ripped him apart for. The return for Larry Nance Jr was underwhelming and people ripped him apart for.

As things played out, Koby now looks like a genius playing with house money.

But don't let Mobley falling in his lap distract you from Koby getting extended and promoted. There's always luck involved and we finally hit again.

Maybe Dan didn’t have a GM worth a long term contract until now?

Koby has certainly outperformed Griff (although the Haliburton Cult disagrees).

 

[eChameleon]

I do love me some stability.

 

[FrontPageNews]

You finally did it Dan. You finally gave someone a second contract.

Honestly, just giving a guy the chance to run the plan for a few years tends to work a lot better than constantly restarting it (looking at u Sac and the Browns). Even a shit plan is better than 3 half good plans. Like this extension. Koby is a top 10 GM rn and i dont think Morey or Masai is walking thru that door soon. Really like this extension

I don't think stability with a bad GM is a good thing. I'd rather get rid of the bad ones, and go for stability only once you've found a good one.

I think you can get away with a bad GM, Look at GarPax. Its only when you give free reign to a truly awful GM, like Vlade or Chris Wallace, that you are fucked.

Prophet and psychic, he knew we were going to get Mobley!

Seriously though, he should get credit. Speaking as someone who relentlessly mocked this thread early on…

Barely a year old, this thread has had a very good year.
