Hopefully he is our GM for another 20 years and wins us a boatload more titles and then this will only be a question of when rather than if. _________________ You are either in or on your way to the NBA Finals.

No. Not because I don't think he would not deserve it, but with the exception of Buss and Hearn, the Wall should be reserved for individuals who were great on the court. Let's not sully the wall with some Celtic-esque tribute; just because they retire anyone who wore the jersey and managed not to commit harakiri, doesn't mean we should

Mitch is basically an average GM who miraculously got lucky a bunch of times. Now that his luck has run out we're seeing just how unremarkable of a GM he is. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
As it stands right now, Mitch does not deserve to go into the HOF as an executive. So let's worry about that first before we retire his jersey. _________________ "I was laying myself on the line by saying, if this doesn't work in three to four years, if we're not back on the top then I will step down because that means I have failed,"

Thanks, I hadn't read anything really, really, really dumb yet today. I knew I could count on you. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.
Heh, Jerry West will somehow get him in, then claim he had nothing to do with it. _________________ "At the end of the day, you are what your record says that you are." --Mitch Kupchak

Not so much dumb as much as it is sheeplike.
It doesn't really matter whether fans feel it's fashionable to trash Mitch. What matters is that the people who deal with him respect him and his intelligence - and they do.
