Don't Make Me Use The Bat
Oh great, Vlade talked with Pop and Adelman so he's got everything he needs. Well, I talked to John Wooden. Now make me head coach, gm, and president.Take the mail room guy, have him talk to a couple of Fortune 500 corporation presidents, and then make him the president of General Electric. The Kings are a billion dollar enterprise. They deserve, no we deserve better, than a GM trainee.
Your stance on this point is just unreasonable.
You still haven't articulated what this magic knowledge is that is supposed to separate the men from the boys in GM land.
Let's take a look at a few former player GM resumes before they were hired shall we?
Danny Ferry
- plays in league 13 years
- two years (2003-05) as midlevel front office in San Antonio
- HIRED AS GM of Cavs
Danny Ainge
-- plays in league 14 years
-- coaches Suns for 2 1/2 years
-- part time announcer
-- HIRED AS GM of Celts
Joe Dumars
-- plays in league 14 years (to 1999)
-- sits out 1 year, not sure if he had a minor role in Detroit or not
-- HIRED AS GM of Pistons in 2000
Vlade Divac
-- plays in league 16 years
-- 1 year as scout for Lakers
-- 2 years figurehead at Real Madrid
-- 2009-2016 head of Serbian Olympic Committee (apparently still holds title)
-- HIRED AS GM of Kings in 2015
And now of course you could add in -- 1 year as GM of the Kings to his qualifications
