The GM Thread

[nuraman00]

I can't find the old thread about Lindsey.

Here he is, though.

I'm not advocating Walt Perrin for GM of this or any team, but reading his interviews, he seems to know his stuff - from basketball to media. He has a sense of control about him - like he knows why the reporter is asking the question but won't fall into a trap or say something he doesn't want to say, be out there.

Example: I think the way he has handled Marxus Smart saying we weren't interested. He kind if had a big of a swagger about his answers, like it was a message to Smart, his agent, and a bit of a smokescreen but maybe not to other teams.

Example: His response to concerns over Embiid's injury. He answered it like a pro, in my opinion. Big maybe I am just used to Randy Rigby answers (shutter).

I don't know his abilities to guide players like a GM, scouting seems to be his thing - but scouting is one major aspect of being a GM. I wonder if he has any aspirations of being a GM or assistant to the GM beyond not turning it down if offered.
