If Altman would not be able to trade Love for anything even this time I would fire him right away.Altman cant uphold his duties as the GM by signing huge contracts with average players (Love ,TT) and giving other players away for nothing(Drummond).I already foreseen Allen demanding huge contract from Cavs organization even though is nothing but paint protector ....sometimes.He’s not consistent and worth 13 mils/year at the best. Moreover,we have Osman on our shoulders whos is still considered to be “developing” which is rediculous.
Welcome to the board, but not sure I agree with any of your takes.
Its pretty well assumed Love is on Dan, not Altman. We arent a free agent destination, so Love will just cost Dan money, and will get bought out in a year and a half.
TT wasnt a good contract, but the overpay was on Lebron and his agent holding the team a bit hostage.
Drummond we traded almost nothing for. He wore his welcome out in Detroit, then Cleveland and I doubt the Lakers want him back either. Nothing you could do with Drummond and that ridiculous contract Detroit signed him too.
And who says Osman is developing. He is what he is at this point, an average bench player being paid like a low end starter. That overpay is 100% on Altman in my opinion.
I dont love Altman, but I dont hate him either. He has done decent at drafting talent, but has a few overpays like Osman. He also hasnt constructed a roster that makes sense and I am begining to believe 2 6'1 guards cant start in the NBA together unless one of them can defend like CP3 and we have a lengthy SF who is a great defender. I am also starting to believe Okoro is best as a sg.
We will see what Altman does this summer. Can he get a good backup PG in free agency? Who will he pick? Can he retain Allen AND Hartenstein on reasonable contracts? How does he solve the Sexton problem? Extend him early but not on the max? I think Sexton thinks he is a max player, but a 6'1 SG who cant defend and isnt a good playmaker but is a very efficient scorer has a place in the NBA for sure, but it makes roster construction tough.
We will see, but its hard to grade Altman right now, this is his summer to put up or shut up.
