Post: 6 Potential Candidates to Replace BC

Post #1 » by **DG88** » Wed May 22, 2013 2:14 pm

Troy Weaver
Assistant general manager, Oklahoma City Thunder
Probably the buzziest young name looking for a first shot at a GM job after Philadelphia hired Houston assistant GM Sam Hinkie, Weaver has been Sam Presti’s right-hand man in Oklahoma City. Weaver famously recruited Carmelo Anthony at Syracuse University, before going to Utah as a scout and director of player personnel. Weaver has been in Oklahoma City since 2008, and is believed to have turned down an offer to run the Jazz last summer. Weaver’s hiring would be a well-regarded move around the league, although he has no track record as a head decision maker.

With all TL said he wants in a new GM (draft well, vision, experience with trading - helped with harden deal), I believe Weaver could be a real possibility.

And from TL's perspective, wouldn't it be better to find someone with no attachment to BC's moves? We know Masai pushed for Demar and probably had a say in some signings.

Does Bryan have any children? Perhaps one of them should become GM?

Personally, I would much rather prefer Weaver over Ujiri.

At the end of the whole process, I'm betting Stefanski will be the GM...This place will explode.

I'm a fan of what Weaver's done too, but I'd be happy with any of them. Good crop of candidates.

I'd take Weaver out of the six.

Out of all those names Mike Zarren and Troy Weaver look interesting. But I would much rather go after a guy like Zach Lowe who understands basketball to the core.

TheGoodDoctor · Post #13 » by **TheGoodDoctor** » Wed May 22, 2013 2:44 pm

So it's

1. Masai
2. Weaver
3. Pritchard
4. Zarren
5. Sheppard
6. Stefanski

+1 and I would actually prefer Pritchard as well.

Stefanski and Sheppard would be bottom of the barrel....Babcock bad.

I don't like BC but not a fan of including his family in jokes.

+1. Not while he's been completely classy.

I don't like BC's basketball decisions, but moving his family into the conversation is wrong.
