Seriously best 2 available gm's. What happened. Kind of what a guy who is gonna be held accountabe (no offense Rod) because he will be there making the moves. Now it's king or Ferry? Come on.

Bower interviewed. Not a fit. Apparently from what I have read...Prtichard isnt well liked...wears out his welcome. No idea if this is true...but a lot of comments that he is a prick to work with.

Its easy for fans to say...THAT GUY did everything good...and nothing bad with GM's while having no clue who made what call, who scouted what guy, etc. Fans dont need to put this much energy into who the GM or team president is. What's next? Emotional over the head of tee-shirt design?


I have nothing against Pritchard...but if his rep is poor...whining get me the guy who worked for a team that I liked the moves they made...isnt really enough info or a real indicator of what to expect.

What exactly makes Jeff Bower such a top candidate?

Dont see anything special in there. Give him credit for Paul but he clearly failed to build much of a team around him. Collison and Thorton? Thats about it.

Bower was aq team lifer that got bumped up. Big whoop to me too.

Pritchard....

By the way, the closest Kevin Pritchard came to the Nets job was in the lobby of the Bellagio Monday night, when he was seen chatting with Onexim poohbah Christophe Charlier. That’s as close as he got. Not close enough, one might say. Newark Star-Ledger
