And I think I agree with what David Aldridge said about Pollin stepping down. To quote (about the Wizards) "it's been run into the ground. It's time to let someone else drive the car."

Well sadly that won't happen until he sales the team or passaway....

True, but he won't have another scapegoat either.

They don't know how good they had it with him."

Are you crazy. MJ could have played for any team he wanted to. Remember Phil Jackson's offering?

Re: Jordan Out in Washington

Whatever stance you guys have on this subject, you should at least accept the fact that MJ wasn't given a chance to complete what he set out to do in Washington.

His 1st year as a GM, they sucked. Improved on it his 2nd year before playing again. Identical record in his 3rd year. What does this say? You never really got to see him be a full-time GM with his new cast playing on their own without him as a teammate. If he was able to continue his post and do what he wanted do, assemble a winning franchise or not, then judge him.

I don't even get why people bash him as a bad GM even though he's only been one for 3 years. So don't compare him to someone like Jerry West GM-wise, that's unfair, seeing as he's been one for a long time.
