Ernie was the dude who used to be able to put together solid playoff teams. But anything that dude had in the tank was gone.

Being able to sign Arenas (coin flip aside) was a really good move.

Not signing Larry Hughes to a big payday and letting him walk was a really good move.

Essentially fleecing the Lakers for Caron Butler was a really good move.

Drafting Wall and Beal as well.

THAT'S IT. Every other move he's made covered up some other fuck up he made previously. He's just not a winning GM. His ceiling is building a 4-5 seed team. Let him go to the Nets or some other team that needs to get to playoffs that hasn't been in a while.

I think every GM has a certain number of savvy moves to make and favors to maybe call in. Ernie's expended all of his apparently. They really need a no-nonsense guy in the front office that's a lot more savvy in bringing together a grand vision. Part of what's wrong with the team now is Brooks + current roster = mismatch of abilities to execution. And Brooks ain't the greatest x and o's dude to start with.
