Official Speculation Thread (Pt. XXVI: Offseason Edition)

Maybe Lindsey can bring Perry or Quincy with him?

Berger:

Spurs exec Dennis Lindsey and Thunder exec Rob Hennigan are going to Grand Rapids, Mich., this week to meet the DeVos family, sources say

As #Magic GM search enters final stretch, league sources says former Hornets GM Jeff Bower may meet with owner Rich DeVos later, but not yet

Orlando is expected to conclude its GM search by late this week or possibly early-to-mid next week.

This makes me think Bower may be hired in some form for a non-GM position. If so, I'd be ok with that. As long as Lindsey or Hennigan are selected as GM.

This just about does it folks, I'd say we're in the clear on Bower as GM. Yes, I see him maybe being something else, but seems GM is now between Hennigan and Lindsey.

^ I'm still scared of what type of power they will give Bower if they do give him a non-GM (POB) position... I don't want Bower second guessing Lindsey or Hennigan.

[Skin]

and how does one LOOK gay - especially one that looks like martins - i mean what determinations did you make to decide... he LOOKS gay?

Sorry if I hit a nerve "chunnyboy". You kind of hit my point though. Even when guys look gay, you can't always tell for sure if they really are. There are the flamboyant ones that are easy to pinpoint, but there are some sneaky ones too.

Anyways, it's Hennigan or bust!!!

I wonder what happened to Penn and/or Weaver, if rumors are true.

I hope Philly doesn't beat us to Lindsey since they are looking to replace Thorn!

Also what are the responsibilities for the GM position vs the POB position?

[NEM]

GM answers to POB, which is exactly why I don't want bower in ANY form... I want him as far away as possible. im fine with either hennigan or lindsey

Seems like Philly is going hard after Danny Ferry (currently w/ Spurs; formally with Cavs during LeBron's years)

This is getting me excited!!!

Normally, GM does most of the work but the POB has veto power. I'm not sure how it would all work here since Otis had complete power, hockey guy was part of the Devos family, Doctor J (VP) was just a figure head... Man, the Devos' have no idea how to run a sports club.

Maybe it's a good thing that the Sixers are in the mix. It should put a little pressure on the organization to make a move sooner rather than later.

I would happily role with that.

Since Otis messed up the single-power authority concept, Alex said he wants to build a team that will collective make the best decisions going forward. Because of that, and still seeing Bower's name string along during the process, it leads me to believe he'll be hired in some form and may have some kind of power in basketball decisions. Any persons we hire has to "work well with others" to fit the team.
