Yeah, but every time we start to think like this, @"DanSchwartzgan" pops in to remind us that it's really all about agent relationships, and I think he's right.
I'm more with you than how it seems right now, probably, but i think the human side of the GM gig might be even bigger than it is with the coach. The GM is EVERYONE'S boss. The trainers, doctors, PR, in arena entertainment...everyone.
Not to mention that the GM has to maintain relationships with the OTHER TEAMS, too.
