Especially given the intense desire to have Ujiri as our GM turning into him hornswoggling us into the being the destination for the player he needs to move in order to rebuild the Raps.
UNLESS! 3D chess playing Ujiri thinks Siakam will rehabilitate his suppressed value on a team with Beal. And he has traded to himself a secret weapon.
Tommy has already thought of that possibility, Doc -- which means he'll never do the deal. It'd be like firing himself.
Plus... if he's too smart to fall for that, then, when Ujiri gets here he'll give him a raise rather than demoting him to head of PR. You dig?
Oh see I've been over this many times before but! Again: Tommy is the General Manager. The team has many Presidents in their job titles, and 3 Vice Presidents
under the heading of Monumental Basketball, but there is no President of Basketball Operations. Tommy could still be a GM under Ujiri. Ujiri would have oversight over all the pro Basketball teams, and influence on long term strategy.
