When did I ever say Dumars was a poor talent evaluator? I think he's done a fine job of drafting, although I think everyone would have to admit that the Darko pick was one of the worst draft picks of all time considering who was drafted after him. All I said was that building a championship team a decade ago doesn't buy him a free pass for life. Since then he's drafted well enough, but his team hasn't made the playoffs in six years, and the last time they were there they were swept out of the first round. He also made two of the worst free agency signings of all time, chronicled in at least two of my other posts above.
You also seem to be putting words in my mouth. I never even mentioned the Jennings signing. I think he got Jennings for a fair price, although I question the long-term fit of Jennings, a low-efficiency and poor shooting point guard, with the other guys on that roster, only one or two of whom can hit threes at a rate above league average. For all that you guys kill Grant for his roster construction, the Pistons don't seem to be a team that was constructed any better. Did you know that Rodney Stuckey is the only player on the Pistons shooting above 35% from three this year? That team is where floor spacing goes to die.
And much like Rich, it's fine to say that Grant whiffed on Drummond, or that you don't like his drafting. The problem is that you guys just keep saying it...and saying it...and saying it. Nothing has changed. Typing that you hate Grant on a message board isn't going to get him fired. It's just going to annoy all the people that are sick of reading the same three sentences over and over and over again. We get it. Grant should have drafted Drummond. He didn't, and he's still our GM, and there's not a damn thing anyone but Dan Gilbert can do about it. Life goes on.
At least guys like Rch and gouri actually bring some new and intelligent arguments in from time to time, but some of you just beat the same damn drum to the point of deafness. It's fine if you want to masturbate to Drummond box scores in the comfort of your own home, but you don't have to come on here and give us a play by play. We all get what you're saying and many of us even agree. We're just sick of reading it because we've all read it a thousand times already.
