Well, it must not have been Martins wedding ring or two children. Maybe it was the spiffy haircut and nice suit that one likes to wear when they are President of Operations.

Hennigan seems like he can be a more than solid GM.

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.

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?

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