I like Chuck but he is too laid back and undisciplined. I agree with KT on the Jet. Point guards and guys who were great but also knew how to defer to the superstars are suited for GM's.

what point guard has been a great GM, my mind went blank when you said that?

Should have said guards. So far shooting guards come to mind. Dumars, Kerr, Ainge etc.

West might be the only flat out superstar in any sport to transistion well into the front office.

I know you didn't just call Kerr a good GM.

Barkley would not do well. He would use his feel o meter way too much and get himself in trouble with the salary cap. Actually I don't think Kenny would be any good either. They both focus too much on "name" players. They would probably be alright at adding players to a team that already had it's superstar or stars. I think they would both utterly fail at building a franchise from the ground up. Right now Kevin Pritchard of the Blazers and Sam Presti in OKC are doing a masterful job of how to clean house and build from scratch.

Pritchard was a guard. Not sure Presti's background.

Man. You guys are some hairsplitters.

Guards in the last 25 years appear to be the better GM's when compared to other former players postions.

How is that? wow

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
