  • Grady knows he can't talk Jerry into spending money on the team, and Ozzie and AJ are headaches that Getz and Reinsdorf don't want to deal with😝
  • @senrique2718
    Ummm...uhh...umm...uhh....take a speech class bro. How did you get past the interview process for GM???
  • They want Yes man that will do as they are told and won't challenge the regime. They can't handle strong personalities like Ozzie and AJ. Same reason why the players walk all over the coaches. Getz was fleeced on the trades and doesn't know what he is doing. This team won't be competitive for a long time and it's a damn shame.

    NOBODY WILL WANT TO JOIN THIS DUMPSTER FIRE OF AN ORGANIZATION !!!!! NOBODY NO PLAYER OR COACH PERIOD 🤬

    Pedro is a friend of Getz ..AJ says he was pushing for Grifol..we will see who he hires but between him and JR we won’t be competing for 10 years minimum. sad
  • @BDemond
    Sell the team PLZZZZZZZ sheesh 🙄 this organization is a farce
  • @pilesovinyl
    What a crap press conference. You may be friends with Pedro, but he failed about as spectacularly as anybody ever could. Don't talk to us about Pedro's professionalism etc., This was a huge waste of our time. And Jerry's viewpoint-WE ALL KNOW there is NO direction, NO plans to build ANYTHING. JERRY won't spend money to be competitive and Chris, hate to say it but for you to be sitting in that chair right now tells me just how little Jerry wants to seriously improve this team.

    If Getz becomes a decent GM at best, that would be an upgrade over KW/RH shit show. Time will tell if Getz is a fine GM.
