GM

[williaza01]

How do you know what is & is not on their radar?

I know coaches…even a few and know this would in no way would be even considered by anyone in the nba with any real job

It’s foolish

The bottom line is the guys who drove us to 7-22, 2-16 and lose their best players annually are going to be the ones to drive us out of it.

That’s SHU. We hope for much money and many lessons learned!

Pass. Hiring a "GM" is just fake effort. Until we get to the point of salary caps, trades and long term contracts, there's not enough to make that role anything more than a glorified "NIL Budget Manager" which is in no way a full time job.

Unless of course this GM would fully take over recruiting duties from Sha and staff, but that feels risky to me.

Facts. What’s a “GM” gonna do? You think Sha doesn’t know how to decipher who’s a good player in the portal?

Or you think this magical “GM” can tell you player 327 in the portal is a home run? It’s just another guy with a big salary taking a guess that any of us could do.

If we can afford them they will come. There’s no further information a “GM” can give or accomplish.

Rice would have to take a pay cut

Early still but in contention for funniest post of year.

It's a distant second to the Sha replacement thread.

Did Sha negotiate his own contract or did he have an Agent? What "negotiation" skills does anyone believe Sha possesses ? Sha has, and will have, a rough time identifying Players .

I disagree on identifying players, I just think he can't afford the ones he wants. Maybe someone with better negotiating skills can get guys to sign for less money than they're getting offered elsewhere? But what else can our GM offer to offset the financial holes? Guaranteed playing time would be an outright lie.

Are graduation rates even a thing anymore?
