Today Lowell and his college-age son Iggy debate Chris Mullin, pro or con.
Iggy,
This is a fair enough debate but it bothers me. I don't believe Chris Mullin needs defending, but here goes. I understand he did not start off consistently well as a general manager. Hello, Adonal Foyle, etc.
But people evolve and situations change. His work the last few years has been excellent. He got the Warriors into the playoffs two seasons ago. Last season, the Warriors won 48 games even though Stephen Jackson was suspended for the first seven games. The Warriors lost six of those.
The Warriors currently do not have a point guard or a star. This is not Mullin's fault. The team vetoed a deal that would have kept Baron Davis in
I believe Mullin has developed into a first-rate executive and I also believe he should be treated with more respect by team president Robert Rowell. Mullin has been a great Warrior. Who in the world is Robert Rowell?

Dad,
You can go out of your way to highlight Mullin's accomplishments as much as you like, the fact is his track record is mediocre at best. He's the guy that signed Derek Fisher, Troy Murphy, and Adonal Foyle. Plus, he was the one who traded for Marcus Williams, who has already become a complete bust just one game into the season with the Warriors turning down his option for next year, ala Patrick O'Bryant a year ago.
Mullin is not a great GM, he's just the best one the Warriors have had in a while. So yes, I say get rid of the guy. If I were the owner, I'd fire him and I'd get somebody better, somebody like the guy up in
