Racism aside for the moment….
Imagine you’re hired as the new GM for the Hornets or the wizards. One of those teams that has peaked at “Meh” status your entire life.
When you get the job, what do you think the owner or president or whatever even tells you to do? Do they pretend you’re going to go win the championship? Do they just say keep it respectable? I remember a report years ago on some other star forward wanting to play with Paul George in Indiana so he takes this inside information to the GM and is told they were mid to small market and they can’t afford to build a team like that.
Entire staffs are rising before the sun going through 3 K cups of coffee, watching film and reading international scouting reports when by the end of the year they’re going to be living in a shack on the outskirts of town no matter how hard they work. And five years from now they’re still going to be in it.
You just trying to make a respectable enough showing so a team that has the resources and will to win might give you a better job?
If you latch yourself to the Hornets you don’t have shit…and won’t ever have shit. So how does that go? You eventually get fired when they’ll never give you resources to succeed beyond lucking into a generational talent in the draft you still won’t be able to build a contender around?
Not even like soccer where you get money for selling a home built star to a major team. He’s just gone.
I guess you can try to rob somebody for a bunch of picks and start the process over.
But when you daydream about being a gm it’s never about running the Orlando Magic is it?
You only have 3-4 years before you’re fired for not doing what they don’t even realistically expect. just have to stay in somebody’s good graces enough to be somebody’s treadmill hire.
Still be a dream job but being like…director of basketball ops for some of these teams must be a chore.
Im fired because were the Wizards. We have been the Wizards by whatever name for 40 years. But now it’s my fault we still are?
I just wanna be in the meeting when the Hornets hire a new guy. Just to hear the expectations be gone over to see which side smirks first.
