five-year, $50 million
Two deals last summer where just beyond retarded.
Larry Brown to the Knicks and the PHO ATL Johnson deal.
Everyone knew they were huge mistakes and then one year later OMG they were huge mistakes!
Just silly when your average fan can outthink some of these GMs.

Might the ATL Johnson deal not look quite as retarded if they'd drafted Chris Paul instead of the guy they did draft?

Had the S&T been done at a reasonable price then maybe, yes.
But they signed him to a max deal when everyone knew he wasn't worth it. They traded a player that useless franchise couldn't get any productivity out of and he became MIP with his new team. They traded TWO 1st round picks for him.
It's just terrible. Obviously had they drafted Paul they would be better, but the trade is still awful.
