Don't think plan powder was Donnie's idea, and that is the primary force that has generated so many bad decisions (Giannis being the biggest). I don't consider Donnie a great GM by any stretch, but he did have a really good eye for European talent, and he was responsible/involved in the three biggest moves in franchise history (Dirk, Giannis (oops, plan powder!), Luka).Cuban deserves blame too. It’s the Gm’s job though to change the mind of the owner though. Donnie was rarely up to the task.
Do we know that plan powder was Cuban’s idea and not Keith Grant’s? He is the cap guy that is supposed to help us make all things possible. Even after years of watching Miami not have space, yet find it once the player said yes, we STILL kept the same failed plan! Keith Grant is supposed to let them know the ways (multiple, not just one) to get it done. The 2011 interpretation of the new CBA was all on him right? Didn’t plan powder stem from that interpretation?
How does much of the blame not fall at his feet too?
