If we were rebuilding, sure. We're done with that though. Hinkie doesn't really have a rep of building a winner. Only tanking.

Don't want another guy with a punchable face to be the GM again.

Seems like a bad fit personnel wise and would be terrible for PR (aka ticket sales).

Ship has sailed on both. Griff wouldn't take the job now. He will wait for a better job to open up.

What about Bryan Colangelo? Yeah there's some red flags and yeah there's some baggage, but iirc he's done a decent job where he's been and definitely has the purple and orange pedigree.

Can't see him getting a gig for a very long time...

I think Jones could do a good job, I'd just like an old head in there next to him to help him learn the ropes - someone respected and with connections.

Yeah, that would be the red flags and baggage I was referring too.

EDIT: I agree about Jones, I think he could do a good job, and that having a legitimate industry vet (not another Blabby) next to him would be ideal.
