I'm not gonna sit here and agree it's his best decision yet. It was a risky but yet messy situation. Especially after the miss on Windler when their were a couple of talented guys there.We’ve been over this a million times. It was a calculated risk. Trade some minor assets and get a guy with lottery talent, and see if he can thrive within your organizational structure. (Mind you, this was before Allen, before Mobley, and before Spida. The Cavs needed to kick over every rock they could to find talent.). The risk didn’t pay off obviously, but that doesn’t make the decision a bad one.
Hopefully Bates makes up for such things.
