Isn't it a pretty known fact that Kwesi was looking to trade back and if it wasn't for KOC putting a gun to his head Kwesi wouldn't have picked Addison?
Again, doesn't put alot of faith in the GM..
I have yet to see that proven in the way some try to spin it. It's people taking one clip from the war room and turning it into something. Yes, Kevin clearly knew who he wanted and was ready ti make the pick. Kwesi was also clearly working the phones to see if there was a deal out there, but that's what a GM should do. See if someone is willing to make a deal favorable to you, if not make the pick. They liked Addison, but let's see if someone makes them an offer they can't refuse. That's how the game is played. I have not seen any proof that Kwesi thought Addison was a bum and was hell bent on trading out and O'Connell forced him to make the pick like this is trying to spun as. Also, I like Addison and he's turned out pretty well, but let's not act like he was a Randy Moss "Holy crap how did this guy land in our laps!?" caliber player.
This is the same as the O'Connell/Flores timeout flap that really wasn't. Flores was yelling to take a Time out so they could get a replay review, O'Connell didn't do it. People thought it was a big thing, but O'Connell had already been told it was reviewed and wouldn't be changed, Flores didn't know.
