Although critics are quick to point out his failings, Paxson was responsible for ridding the Cavaliers of some burdensome contracts " leftovers from previous GM Wayne Embry " that prevented the team from improving with offseason moves.

Paxson traded Shawn Kemp and his four-year, $70.8 million contract to Portland in 2000. He also freed the team of other awful contracts that Embry and former principal owner Gordon Gund handed out in the late '90s.

(April 18, 2005) -- Richard Peddie, president and chief executive officer of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, announced Monday that Wayne Embry will serve as Senior Basketball Advisor to the President. Embry joined the Toronto Raptors organization in June 2004 as Senior Advisor to the General Manager.

“Wayne Embry brought more than 40 years of NBA experience, both as a Hall of Fame player and as a Hall of Fame front office executive, to the Toronto Raptors this season, and he’s made important contributions behind the scenes,” said Peddie. “While for a variety of reasons, Wayne was only able to advise Rob Babcock to a limited degree this season, he will now be more available to Rob and will be able to advise me on the basketball matters that are under my umbrella as president and CEO of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.
