Fire that rotten GM!
He gave a gigantic contract to an injured player and has produced almost nothing for 3 years. He traded away a lottery pick for two mediocre players because he thought his bad team was ready to win right now. His name is Ernie Grunfeld and unfortunately he's the general manager of the Washington Wizards. If the above wasn't enough for you to fire this comically-incompetent bonehead, we now get word that the Wizards have decided to let Alonzo Gee, the talented and cheap 6'6" wing player who scored 19 points in his first NBA start, leave for absolutely nothing. That's right, the San Antonio Spurs, a team with an NBA GM who as actually won something [well, a lot of something] have signed Gee to a contract that guarantees him for the rest of the year and gives him an un-guaranteed deal for next season, too. Gee's second 10-day contract expired on Sunday and the Wizards could have easily signed him up for the rest of the season, particularly since he had played pretty well and had recently moved into the starting lineup due to injuries to players like Randy Foye and Al Thornton. How did this happen? On Friday night, Michael Lee tweeted that Wizards head coach Flip Saunders said the Wizards would sign Gee for the rest of the season. In other words, the coach wanted Gee and thought he would be around. However, the team has now decided that they don't want to tie up cap space next year on Alonzo Gee. However, this is an incredibly stupid argument to make. First of all, Gee will cost very little next season -- probably around the NBA minimum -- so the cap argument is absurd. Secondly, the Spurs gave him a non-guaranteed contract for next year so they have -- wait for it -- ZERO cap space tied up in Gee next year. If the Spurs did this, the Wizards obviously could have and should have done this. 
He assembled a ridiculously expensive NBA team that won nothing.

The Wizards brought Gee up, saw him play well, gave him a few starts, glimpsed the potential in his considerable athleticism, and then let him walk away to a better team FOR NO GOOD REASON!
I understand Gee is unlikely to be the difference between a good and bad team next year for the Wizards, but the guy can play and to give him away for nothing, for no reason, is just further evidence of the amazingly inept way this team is run from the front office.
