How did the switch to Indiana from Dallas occur?
Basically. I didn't see a great team direction from the Dallas Mavericks, or the players on the team. So I made the decision to resign from the position. Later that day I talked to Duce who was willing to take me on and teach me and I jumped at the opportunity. Learning with the one of the best GM's in league, with no offense to Gregg, who is a solid GM himself.
What is it like to wait for a GM position to open up?
It can be somewhat anxious at times. I've learned to try not to be impatient now and realize that my time will come soon enough. I just want what's best for the league, and if its not me being a GM that is fine by me.
What GMs do you think you could replace in order to improve the league?
To be perfectly honest, recently I would have singled out two teams, minnesota and memphis. Recently though, minnesota has taken a stand to trade for younger talent somewhat. As for memphis, i'm not quite sure what their looking to do, and no team direction has really been decided, so I think that team I could do better at, although it would be tough to start from scratch, but wherever I ended up with an opening, that would be quite alrite with me. Work from the ground as you would say, I've been trying to do with my UOSL team, the Orlando Magic.
How is that UOSL team doing?
5 gm improvment in my 1st official season, and went from 32-50 to 37-45 and a couple gms out of a playoff spot.
Who do you consider the top 5 GMs in the league?
Garf - Turned a playoff bound team into a championship contender. Added stud pieces like Amare Stoudemire.
Aaron (pistons GM) - Fields a winner every year, and a team that is always contending for a title in the competitive east.
Duce - For same reason as aaron.
Spence - Turns bad teams into solid competive teams.
Dave - developing manu to great potential. and always sticking with the team through thick and thin and now its paying off.
