Also this: Sarver is looking for four GM characteristics.
"One is analyzing basketball talent," Sarver said. "One is being able to communicate well with players, coaches, other employees, our fans and corporate sponsors. A thorough understanding of the cap and CBA (collective-bargaining agreement) and how it works. And experience in negotiating player contracts."

Wow, I really hope King will not be seriously considered
I’d be quite pleased if they landed Dennis Lindsey.

People just don't really know how bad Billy King was...
Think almost Isaiah Thomas bad (Scary, huh?) Billy, Billy, Billy, just do the right thing and disqualify yourself from this list…That way you can redeem what little legacy you have left…

And I don't want new Los Angeles Clippers GM Neil Olshey....
I really don’t know him and he may be a great guy…But I don’t want anything affiliated with the Clips…
That organization is cursed….
