Battier majored in religion. Interesting.

I like Wade having a voice but not too much of one. Many if not most players seem to be terrible at knowing what constitutes constructing a winning roster. Look no further than Lebron. Yes, he did win titles but overpaying how the Cavs did for guys like Tristan Thompson was ludicrous at the time.

I don't mind this. Right now, at least. The core of our team is there and this is our window. I don't think we need to blow things up, but we need to do a much better job on the role players and DL has proven he's too rigid for this and not really looking at it. Wade can push (and recognize the need) for shakeup around the margins. Basically he can point out all the dumb stuff we're doing. I'd hope.

Lol they were more than a decade apart.

Duke is brotherhood on another level. They have each other's backs like the Hells Angels. I am quite sure they are in the same circles despite the decade apart.

Usually the GM want to keep the current coach... so they can use them as the scape goat in the future if things don't work out. So even if we brought a GM in the coach stays the same... you fail in a year or two and then they get their guy. It extends the GMs employment runway.

I mean Wade put together a heat dynasty... I'm cool with him having some say. I'd welcome Battier in some capacity as well.

Dont other GM's despise Ainge as well? That would be my main concern. That we'd be taking someone to overtake DL who people dont even want to deal with.

I'm sure Ainge is smart and has connections, but I wouldn't without a doubt say he's a better option than DL.

This is exactly the issue with Ainge he has majored in burning bridges. You only deal with that person as a last resort at this point if you are another GM. Seems crazy to want that guy.

Ainge has also gotten a less then stellar rep with many players, easiest example is the Isiah Thomas thing where he plays through the death of his sister and through his hip injury.

Guess a cut throat reputation with GM's and players is a way to describe it.

I remember Robert Horry throwing a towel in his face when he was a coach lol...oh and Sidell Threatt punching him woozy in a game

What does Danny bring to the table? He doesn’t seem like a dude Ryan Wade would be all that interested in.

I can’t tell if you’re saying those players were good or bad. Jordan has been bad. Isaiah was too for most part. Elway has been a mixed bag. Had some great licks but has been bad in other ways. Not sure if Bird was GM while he was the coach or after but he was a damn good HC. Only team to push the Bulls to a game 7...that went right down to the wire.
