As strange as it may sound, I don't think Barkley would be all that turrible as a GM. He'd be a no bullsh*t guy and would've traded Bargs much sooner than Bryan.
that step back three from andrea was nasty
They may be better but are 1st round exit fodder. Probably the worst place you can be in the nba is a team that almost makes the dance or goes out in the first round.
As for Ed, he overpaid Brand and Iggy (and tried to get out from under it not so quietly nor successfully for years). In NJ he went nowhere with Vince/Kidd/RJ after drafting KMart #1. Evan Turner has disappointed so far and Doug Collins is due to wear out his welcome pretty soon but has done a great job so far. Thing is he wasn't ES' hire. Eddie Jordan was. Doug Collins threw his hat in but never got a call. To make Jordans job all the better he refused to pay Andre Miller and they had Lou Williams at pg until they drafted Holiday who is just coming into his own the past season and a half.
If he does become GM then he better pay us back for lubelessly raping us on the Vince trade.
I'd like to see a Dangle Berry from my ass hair as GM.. at least it wouldn't make as many stupid moves as BC.. My Dangle Berry would also work for a much more reasonable contract and would be more accountable then our current GM.
Charles Oakley, only half kidding.... have a feeling he could attract some top talent here, otoh not sure if he actually has a head for the job.
