This a 1000x.
I have frequently been called out for not joining the mob to yell about Chiarelli. But if you hire from outside then 100% that person needs to have the autonomy to work with who he wants and let go of the rest.
I know if I was taking any type of management position and the ousted person was going to be answering to me I'd be very hesitant that they wouldn't want to undermine my authority and every decision. Did that happen here? Maybe, maybe not. But it is telling that numerous people have cited that the Reinhardt trade was an OBC move FROM DAY ONE...and yet nobody faced the consequences for it.
For the record, Chiarelli deserved to be fired for his moves this year. I'd even go so far as saying it seems he was actively trying to get fired. But it was an untenable situation to work in and I am glad Ken Holland isn't facing the same issues.
This organization might be getting it right.
He deserved to get fired after his first trade.
I don't care how much people try to pin the blame on others, he was the boss, it was his call and his subsequent moves both trades and signings showed he consistently made terrible decisions and no one was to blame for it except for him.
