Bill Simmons aka the Sports Guy of ESPN has been campaigning to be the Twolves GM.
What are your thoughts on this? The guy did just write a 700 page book on how to build a good NBA team. I think it'd be pretty sweet.

Bill Simmons? Is he related to Bobby Simmons? What about Richard Simmons?

Tell him up front that he can't make any deals involving the Celtics and I'm okay with it.

Closest is probably Gene Simmons.

Something needs to be cleared up: Jim Stack is and has been our GM for quite a while. We need a new VP of Basketball Operations (that was McHale's former post). I wouldn't be surprised if we do get a business guy for the position and let Hoiberg/Stack fill the personnel decision making role.

Like falling on a rusty nail, so are the pains of a Wolves fan.

Is it even a choice? He seems to be the only one left who wants the job.
