Next GM Watch

[F Gump]

There's a lot to like about Lindsey. I've been in the "replace Nico with Lindsey" camp since about May, and began pointing out much earlier than that how the decisions were magically better when he was here (he knew how to get value at the margins, which matters a lot in the long run, whereas Nico would give value away in those micro-portions of a deal). He's an obvious definite upgrade.

I don't have any real desire for Cuban (as GM, rather than part owner helping Dumont), Ujiri, Finley, or Riccardi. Better than Nico? That's a really low bar. I don't have any reason to think any of those are worse than the abomination of Nico, but I know I don't want Cuban negotiating and I am leery of the others.

But I would be most excited by Presti, and by a wide margin. Yes I know it's a super longshot. But I also know Presti is likely to get hired away SOMEDAY by SOMEONE, so why not now (or in June) and why not the Mavs?
