Yes because a GM has NEVER made a mistake before in drafting. Paxson invented making mistakes.

So giving Ben Wallace all that money was a good move too right?

How did Paxson panic with the Hinrich pick?

We didnt need a PG, we had J-Crossover... he gave up on him too fast.

Easy. Drafting Derrick Rose. Done. Next? Trading the 2005 1st round pick for Luol Deng in the 2004 draft, good move. That 2005 pick ended up as Nate Robinson. Who we now have.
Trading Eddy Curry for two 1st round picks. One was Tyrus who was traded to the Bobcats for their future 1st round pick. The other was Joakim Noah.
Not resigning Ben Gordon was one of the best moves he ever made.

At the time it was the move to do. It didn't pan out as intended, but he didn't stay here very long.

Jay Williams was laying in a hospital bed with a leg doctors didn't even know for sure they wouldn't have to amputate.
How can you say he "gave up on him to fast" when Williams never played in the NBA ever again

He meant Jamal Crawford.
Does not play PG. So how does drafting a PG..to replace a PG with a shredded leg = panic? Who else should he have drafted?
The rest of that 2003 draft was pretty marginal....

They drafted Crawford to play PG/SG, exactly my point Paxson gave up too soon

Jamal Crawford played 4 years in Chicago. "Giving up too soon"?
And again how does drafting a PG to replace a PG = panic?

He also drafted Nocinoi and Duhon who were very solid/capable players for the Bulls.

Noc was actually just a undrafted free agent coming out of Argentina. But yes, they were solid, though I never cared for Duhon, but he was a 2nd round pick.

Paxson did a solid job drafing players!
You can say he didn´t do any big moves via trade or free agent signing, but he was/is good at drafting what we need!
Just look at Gibson & Butler lately....

Also he traded Jalen Rose for old ass Antonio Davis, and traded for Tim Thomas just to pay him to sit at home.

Good call. For some reason I always think he was one of those late 2nd round foreign dopes.
