Can I have a do-over? (Your team’s worst personnel moves)
Should Reggie have been a Knick?
During the obligatory, “Where will LeBron and D-Wade end up in 2010?” segment of last night’s Cavs/Heat game, Reggie Miller talked about his own experiences as a free agent.
The Indiana Pacers icon admitted there was a time when he seriously considered signing with the Knicks, but New York chose to spend their money on Allan Houston instead. That Reggie loved playing in NYC was no question, and if I recall correctly, this would’ve been a couple years after an arsonist burned down Reggie’s home in Indianapolis, so he was open to leaving the area. But the Knicks handed Houston that monster contract for $100 million. Hindsight is 20/20 and all, but damn.
Every franchise has moments like that, when they wish they had a do-over. As a Sonics fan, I can think of a few: Trading Scottie Pippen on Draft Night; giving Jim McIlvaine a contract that was not only atrocious in its own right, but also so ludicrous that it pissed off Shawn Kemp and led to the downfall of a potential championship team; and the biggest of the big regrets, Howard Schultz selling the team to a group from Oklahoma City. And as a new Pacers fan, I’m kind of not liking the idea of drafting Shawne Williams over Rajon Rondo in 2006.
You might not even recognize a horrible move as its happening — I’m sure no Seattle fan in 1987 thought much of us giving away some kid named Pippen from some tiny college nobody had ever heard of — but years later you can always look back and wish your team’s front office could’ve known.
What moves do you look back on now and wish your team had a do-over?

The Cavs thinking Carlos Boozer was an honest man. They should’ve made him play under his original contract and dealt with his restricted free agency after the season.

@sanssassin – you can’t say that if they’d drafted Nique that they’d have been in position to get either Stockton or Malone.
@people hating on Detroit – Darko was clearly the #2 rated prospect in that draft and the ONLY guy anyone wouldn’t have gotten KIllED for taking over him at 2 is Melo. You can’t throw Bosh and Wade in later… But college fans like most of us thought Melo should go over Darko.
@wizards fans – can’t hate on Kwame now. Guy was described as “the potential to be am evolutionary PF.”. Ummm not so much, but that IS what 99% of scouts thought back in 01.
Save this for moves that seemed fishy at the time (like us taking Kedrick Brown – a super raw, uber-athletic 3 from Comm. College – over RJeff who only was an infinitely more polished/proven, almost as athletic version of the same player. That one killed me at the time.)

Philly letting Pat Croce walk…
Holding on to AI too long even though they were dead set on not creating a team around him. They were waiting until the fanfare and sales took a hit, which had Iverson’s value drop and no great picks or franchise type player in return…
Sharron Wright, Shawn Bradley, and Van Horn/Tim Thomas picks…
Hiring Eddie Jordan…I just don’t like the guy with this team.
Not having good vets in place when you drafted a player like AI that could have really protected his fragile sense of self and media backlash that pretty much put him on the path he is on now. He didn’t scoff at practice and being a team player at Georgetown I bet, that was a professionally developed attitude.
Sixers killed their fan base over the years…

re: drafting nique and selling him to atlanta –
that trade saved the “utah jazz”, which is pretty big if you are a guy living in utah. if not, it would have been stockton and malone in the las vegas jazz in the finals in 1997 and ‘98.
if you are looking at do-overs and the jazz it has to be the draft pick for gail goodrich trade. why? lakers got the draft pick that would later on become magic johnson. jazz got an old gunslinger who was on his lanst contract in his career.

Celts Fan says:
@Ric Hardwood (#25) – I had season tickets back then. Joe had yet to prove anything by the time Pitino gave up on him (which, by the way, was only 50 freakin games in. It’s called patience. God Pitino sucked…) They had the option of throwing in either Kedrick Brown or Joe Johnson and chose to include Johnson. It’s funny how the last 3 years turned that from, “I may punch you if you bring that up,” to “haha Pitino’s really useless huh?” We could’ve walked away from that draft with a haul of Joe Johnson, Richard Jefferson, and Tony Parker/Jamaal Tinsley/Gilbert (and we supposedly promised Arenas we were taking him at 21, leading to that story being brought up every time Wash comes to Boston, just before healthy Gil would rain down 40 on us.) Instead we netted 50 games of Joe Johnson, Kedrick Brown, and Joe Forte. Thank you Chris Wallace…

Also, Delk was key to us getting to the Conf. Finals that year. We were never going to beat LA (or maybe SA that year, forget at this point) even if we upset NJ so it still seemed very short-sited, but in 11 years of season tickets before the KG/Ray Ray/Truth combo, that year was our deepest playoff run and that deal was directly responsible (don’t forget, it also brought in a motivated-in-a-contract-year Rodney Rogers to space the floor a bit at the 4 – you young’ns out there, think Ryan Anderson’s game and someone that looked like ZBo if he ate Khalid El-Amin.)

Not that the Bucks are “my team”, but I live here (I don’t really have one team in the NBA) but the Bucks have taken the cake in the last 20 years, maybe they’ve finally gotten it right with Jennings. And let’s give credit where credit is due: trading Marbury for Ray Allen on draft night in ‘96. Big Dog was supposed to be a sure thing so I’ll excuse that since he did average 20+. Trading Ray Allen for the 3 month rental of Gary Payton was moronic. Joe Alexander is a bust. Taking Bogut over Deron Williams and Chris Paul because you’re “all set” at point guard with TJ Ford and Mo Williams. The one that takes the cake, however is trading Dirk Nowitzki and Pat Garrity for Tractor Traylor. The funny thing is, Garrity had a better career than Traylor by himself.
