The Front Office Thread

[MHSL82]

Changed the title to this thread so as to mirror the The Coaching Thread (though I didn't like the sound of the Owning Thread ). However, I thought putting GM in there would keep Greg Miller's initials and also mean GM as in those making personnel decisions.

NBA: The buzz at Las Vegas Summer League

Thanks for posting this.

What are your thoughts?

* Do you think Lebron James is a PG?

He might have averaged 8+ assists only once, but I do, based on how he plays and the decisions he makes.

I think it has become more accepted in recent years, that he's a PG.

That wasn't the case during his first Cleveland stint, when he was labeled as other positions.

I like the sound of The Owning Thread.

The story behind the Utah Jazz’s front-office shake-up, and why it happened now

Dennis Lindsey's move to step down from his role as president of basketball operations was primarily new Jazz owner Ryan Smith's call. A longstanding disconnect with Jazz head coach Quin Snyder played a role in the departure, sources told The Tribune.

I am not sure if Chris Paul likes Robert Saver.

Paul seemed to like Ballmer more, in comparison.

I think there's a chance that regardless of what the Suns do during these playoffs, Paul may leave.

Ryan Smith / Dwayne Wade, I think you have an answer as to what to do.

Plus, in 2017, I remember this from Chris Paul: "This is a great place to get a win".

He was talking about how he hadn't played a playoffs series against Utah before.

Did you hear that? He says Salt Lake City is a "great place"!

I would be all for that because then when he passes Mark Jackson, he’s push Jackson down the list of assists for former Jazz men and all time.

Adding this here because I don’t want to start a new thread: Ainge gets 'unique opportunity' with Jazz as CEO



So basically, he is saying that he can come and take credit for the Jazz winning, if they do. Riding the coattails. Just kidding. (I don’t like BYU, aka the team down south (from the University of Utah).)

What does a CEO do? Did the Jazz not have a CEO before?

I guess Ainge didn't retire.

As much as I don’t like his push off, and I don’t know if he could be a good owner, I don’t like this. I know that he wasn’t the hundred percent owner, but still. I thought it was cool that he got his hometown team. He doesn’t need money.
