Thread: Dennis Lauscha- Team President (GM Search Update)

  1. #1

    News Dennis Lauscha- Team President (GM Search Update)

    Blah blah, we want to win like we do at football...

    Will announce the GM search consultant shortly.

    Implies the process is going to speed up soon. Will be requesting permission and announcing interviews in the next few weeks.

    Talks to Adam Silver about small market challenges often. Not going to let that be an obstacle to success.

    It does sound odd to compare to the football model of success so much. I think it's a better look to recognize that NBA and NFL champions are built in very different ways. Hopefully the new GM will speak on this.

    I'll be interested to learn which, if any, of these speculated persons are officially named as candidates.

    Relevance of this statement? Should he not be hired based on the fact that he once worked with LBJ?
    The most overused words on Pelicansreport.com. Wrongly, I might add.

    ELITE - (often used with a plural verb) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons.

    GREAT - notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding

    These words should not be used lightly

    His comparison between football and basketball was wanting to bring that sense of having to be #1 on the basketball side, the same as the football side. He also said he wanted to bring a winner to the basketball side the same as the football side. I do not see that as trying to build the same models. I see it as more of a mindset.

    Ok and to be fair, they were at an NFL meeting at the time. I rescind my syncism.

    So Griffin would sabotage himself for the greater good of LBJ I really don’t think that would happen people .
