LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
The playmakers get identified by the scouts. The guy in charge of the draft has to sort through the detritus and find out which opinions make the most sense.
THEN arrange the draft board.
THEN decide who to pick or when to trade.
The best GMs are not all super scouts. Ozzie Newsmen worked the other side of the personnel department far longer than he worked college scouting.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
