Tiebreaker - Benning's 5th Worst Move

[ginner classic]

The Hamhuis non-trade and Gilman firing are tied in their battle to be Benning's 5th worst move. Now you need to break that tie.

The next poll will be to slot in the Tyler Myers contract in the top 5 or move it into the pool with the other choices.

Again pushing for the Hamhuis non-trade here because Gilman would have been handcuffed working for Benning anyway more-so than a draft pick being wasted, especially when you consider we have a chance of snagging Matthews if Hamhuis doesn't win us a couple games.

That’s why it’s #5 instead of #1, though. I was more pissed about the summer of 2015 at the time, but just kind of laughed at the Hamhuis/Vrbata thing.

I found this one hard even though technically it should be easy. Benning wasn't about to listen to Gilman anyway, so firing him had no real effect.

I treated the issue though as including not listening to Gilman or being willing to consider what he did to be important and voted for the Gilman firing. The firing of Henning was horrible as well. I personally think the firing of Eric Crawford was bad as well, but it is probably saved by Brackett being a competent replacement.

Firing Gilman for sure.

My understanding of the narrative is he didn't like some of the contracts being offered which led to his dismissal. I could be wrong, but a lot of pieces fit.

I definitely think firing Gilman had way more long-term negative consequences for the organization.

Add the Myers contract to the list

The thing is we could get rid of myers in expansion if he turns out not to be good enough

Poll's closed, but I'd vote Gilman firing. Not sure what the whole story behind his dismissal is, but I was a huge fan of his work.
