Just one of the many reasons I am liking this Pete D'Alessandro guy...

Not sure if this article has been posted or referenced, but this article pretty much sums up the exact reasons why I love this guy as our new General Manager!!!!

I am hoping that the trio of Ranadive/D'Alessandro/Malone will mirror the trio of Holt/Buford/Popovich.

After listening to D'Alessandro's interview with Grant, and reading this article, it seems like Pete likes to talk and give information without showing his hand. That is all a fan could ask for. Not to slight Geoff Petrie at all; I feel Petrie was brilliant and was an educated Princeton man. But the dude never said anything. And when he did it wasn't anything you could hang your hat on.

It is still early, and this Thursday will tell the direction of this GM. But I think D'Alessandro is off to a good start PR wise.

Agreed. I think they've definitely got the best guy available. We will definitely see on Thursday and I bet it's nothing close to what people are thinking.

I know quite a few attorney's like that. And D'Alessandro is an attorney.

Isn't that the case with ALL attorneys? I thought it was a class, right before ethics, right after Constitutional law...

Lawyers take a course on Ethics??

Lawyers take a course on Ethics??

Hahaha. Very few probably. I took pre-law college course entitled Ethics & Logic but never much desired to become an attorney. I've long thought there were just way too many of them in this state, this country. Maybe PDA thinks same way since he's not now practicing law.

I guess it does make sense that they would study ethics. They need to know the standard that the rest of the society holds themselves to. .
