Who do you want our new GM to be?
- Thread starter Darth Divac
- Start date
Not a biased poll by any means, right?
Bird doesn't seem to have any interest and that doesn't surprise me. If he comes back to the NBA in any capacity I have to imagine it will be a position with the Pacers. Neither does it surprise me that Buford doesn't want to go anywhere. I AM surprised that OKC keeps denying requests for teams to talk to Troy Weaver. He's a guy that I thought would be a very strong candidate.
Of the names mentioned who are actual candidates for the job at this point I'd take Schlenk. Lots of experience as a scout/talent evaluator and a guy who embraces the data analysis side of things. I can envision he and Malone building a very solid organizational foundation for the Kings. And quite frankly because I think Chris Wallace is terrible.

I sure would rather have Petrie consulting with Malone than Chris Wallace doing whatever he does. I was worried about the perception that the new ownership would hire a bunch of no bodies and appear no different than the Maloofs and Malone gives that appearance even if he is very skilled. Then we head off in a direction to get a GM, Wallace, who has made bad decision after bad decision. Sounds like the same song, different group to the average fan who doesn't know anything near what people on this forum know.
Vivek hired an unknown coach and is thinking seriously about hiring a bad GM. The Kings darn well better start of with a lot of wins. Malone was a great hire and now I hope there is a regain of common sense. It is difficult to keep a happy happy joy joy mood with the name Chris Wallace floating about. My glasses are not that purple.
