Krause made bad decisions. Period. But the Bulls would have ran into the Spurs in 1999.
I would like to see the star players start their own teams. Since they are financial geniuses they will do well!
You’re talking about basketball, right?
I remember when player Magic Johnson had the Lakers coach fired. That busted my pro-ball bubble.
The owners run a business so they get to hire their own management. You know, like they’re the payers and bosses of the players and the players are the payees and the employees? If they own it, and they’re paying for it, then they get to run it any way they see fit. Even if they screw up, it’s still their decisions to make.
Could you see any GM today deliberately breaking up a championship team? The Bulls did it, the Marlins did it - but could any of them get away with it in 2020? Hard to believe - if Kevin Durant had announced he wanted to stay with the Warriors and they’d said “thanks, no thanks” they’d have been crucified by their fans.
