Re: Bullets Fire Eddie Jordan

Interesting you called them the Bullets in the first thread, intentional?

Anyhow, waht I've seen of the Wizards this season has been simply embarrassing. The blame though has to lie with Ed Grunfeld in my opinion, whose reputation from past teams has made him like a teflon don it seems. But you look at the roster he's put together and it just doesn't make sense to me. Although, I will say that I think he might have got it right with McGee. I was against drafting him because I thought what's the point since we already have Blatche. But I think Blatche is a bust. Pecherov looks lost out there, Songaila seems like a waste of a contract, McGuire can't find minutes, Nick Young is a solid player but he's not a dominating guard who takes over a game (not yet at least) and I would have rather we took a solid point guard like Crittenton because we have no true point guard (other than maybe Daniels, who is like the James Thrash of Les Boulez).

Happy to see a former AU guy taking over in Ed Tapscott, but I can't imagine he's the long term answer nor should he be. They need to figure out what sort of team they want to be, and it seems like what Grunfeld wants is to be a 1990s Knicks defensive-type team. If that's the case then I'd go after Jeff Van Gundy (I wanted him to be HC before Eddie Jordan).
