Is this serious? Riley got everyone that Gar wanted and made him settle for Boozer.
I respect what the CHI did this year but was it because of the MVP, the COY, or Gar?
"HE GOT THEM ALL!!!!!!"
[h1]Gar Forman, Pat Riley honored[/h1]
That Pat Riley was named NBA Executive of the Year comes as no surprise considering he reeled in LeBron James and Chris Bosh to go with Dwyane Wade on the Miami Heat. But the guy who lost out on those two guys, Chicago Bulls general manager Gar Forman, received co-recipient honors in an announcement made on Tuesday.
Forman did sign free agents Carlos Boozer, Ronnie Brewer and Kyle Korver during the offseason, and the Bulls went on to win a league-high 62 games. The Bulls have cleaned up in postseason awards, with Tom Thibodeau winning Coach of the Year and Derrick Rose grabbing the league MVP trophy.
Riley pulled off a coup by getting James to leave Cleveland for Miami and Bosh to bolt Toronto. The Heat won 58 games this season for second in the East.
Miami currently leads Boston 3-1 in their Eastern Conference semifinal series, while Chicago is tied 2-2 with Atlanta.
Bulls president of basketball operations John Paxson finished third in voting by fellow team executives. San Antonio's R.C. Buford was fourth.
