That is where they get a senior consultant to be the big picture voice in the room. Just add an asst gm to head up analytics/tech and with those 2 additional hires, you are done. |

Yeah, that's the real question. I think Ryan West is having an increased influence so hopefully in the short term he lets West's vision come through. As well as Luke, of course. |

No, front office offered the deal and Kobe simply said yes, IIRC. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on this. |
Kobe pays Pelinka 4-6% to do nothing? Swamp land is available for those who believe Kobe's team did zero negotiation. |

With Magic being the real decision maker, yeah, it could work. |

You see Pelinka knew kobes extension would cripple the franchise so they could draft DLo and Ingram when he became GM in 3 years. |

I would imagine a big time sports agent makes more cash than a GM for a sports team considering the amount of clients you can attain is huge and you represent some of the best players. Right or wrong?

I can see that playing out. |

I don't know about that. But Pelinka is highly respected.

they needed someone to blame. They won't dare make Magic a scapegoat. Jeanie would become a scapegoat before Magic would. |

Not hate for the old regime; more like Pelinka seems to be a well-connected mensch respected around the league. |
