I don't usually like to apply 20/20 hindsight to criticize GMs on draft picks, and generally think Danny does a good job in the draft. But I just could not understand then, and remain baffled, why Danny did not take a chance with DeAndre Jordan in the 2008 draft, taking JR Giddens instead. Giddens was not only a stretch (most saw him as a middle 2nd round pick), but the team could definitely use a rim protector like Jordan. He has his flaws, but boy would he fit in perfectly with this team right now. Top 4 team in the East in my view.
Does he become an UFA after this year? Man, I'd love to get him. Ballmers is going to be willing to write a lot of big checks, though.
