Five Worst NBA Decisions According To The Round Mound Of Rebound
Chuck Barkley has taken a few minutes out of his busy schedule to stop by and briefly sound off about the five worst NBA off-season decisions to date:
5. David Kahn adding nothing but small forwards to theroster on draft day – That guy is just an idiot. Glen Taylor really needs to bring me in to turn things around. However, if that happened then I’d have to live in Minnesota for half the year. On second thought forget I even brought it up.4. Amar’e Stoudemire agreeing to a $100 million deal with the Knicks – Last time I checked, Steve Nash wasn’t on New York’s roster. Who exactly is going to pass Stat the ball?
3. The Clippers choosing between Vinny Del Negro and Dwane Casey - Ain’t no right choice there. Both of those retreads are flat out wrong.
2. The New Jersey Nets interviewing Joe Dumars for their vacant GM position - Didn’t Mikhail Prokhorov notice the Billups/Iverson trade, Rip Hamilton extension and Charlie Villanueva & Ben Gordon contracts?
1. Joe Johnson’s 6-year $120 million offer from Atlanta– I didn’t make anything close to that figure for my entire career let alone six years. What were the Hawks thinking? 2/3 of $120 million would have been too much money.

I don't disagree with the Chuckster on any of those, although I hear with a new CBA coming up, owners will soon cry broke and look to get some of that money back, particularly in the cases of the second and third tier players.

No doubt about it. It's going to get ugly in 2011 and the players are going to have a lot of ammunition.

I know we disagree here but Johnson got paid because of his position. He's a very good player, but not a max player. However, you can count good midrange shooters on one hand. Simple supply and demand.

Evidently, it's $127 million now that the total salary cap figure has been increased. Insane decision.
It was a desperation move by the Hawks. Johnson is very good, but not significantly better than Crawford. Atlanta has other holes to fill and now won't be able to do so unless they trade Johnson's contract.
