Comments on: Bird’s Boss: “Larry Bird Has Everyone’s Confidence Here” http://www.eightpointsnineseconds.com/2010/02/birds-boss-larry-bird-has-everyones-confidence-here/ An Indiana Pacers Blog Mon, 20 May 2013 13:04:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: aaronb http://www.eightpointsnineseconds.com/2010/02/birds-boss-larry-bird-has-everyones-confidence-here/comment-page-1/#comment-1987 aaronb Thu, 25 Feb 2010 22:43:39 +0000 http://www.eightpointsnineseconds.com/?p=3859#comment-1987 I just don’t understand where Larry is planning on rebuilding. Are Earl Watson and Danthay Jones re-building blocks? Is using lotto picks on 23 and 24 year old players back to back rebuilding? By the time the magical “Cap room” is here what are we going to have? A 29 year old Danny Granger and spots 6-10 on a good team locked down? If we were indeed going to rebuild all this time. Why hasn’t Bird gotten creative like Morey or Presti and stockpiled some draft picks for 2011 and beyond? Why have we went after dreck like Watson, and the Jones’ instead of some failed prospects like Marcus Williams, Acie Law, Sheldon Williams etc?

This whole newfound grand rebuilding scheme just reeks of media spin. I wish the local media had the sack to call these guys out on it.

I just don’t think this current front office is creative enough to build this thing into and 8th seed contender. They just don’t seem good enough at evaluating talent.
