Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted April 24, 2017 I think Fournier would be better next to Westbrook as well, because he's a jump shooter. Im not so sure. What he brings in shooting he's really terrible on defense. Okc needs a 2 that's a good defender because Westbrook is pretty bad too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheNameIsOrlando 310 Report post Posted April 24, 2017 Westbrook being a bad defender pisses me off, because he really should be elite. He wouldn't be the offensive player he is if he played better defense. That might actually be a good thing as far as how they are set up now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Janders 102 Report post Posted April 28, 2017 If you had Pritchard on your list I think we can cross him off Adrian WojnarowskiVerified account @WojVerticalNBA 3m3 minutes ago Larry Bird is stepping down as Pacers president, league sources tell @TheVertical. Kevin Pritchard will take over basketball operations. Adrian WojnarowskiVerified account @WojVerticalNBA 1m1 minute ago Bird is expected to continue on as a consultant, working with Pritchard and the Pacers front office, league sources tell @TheVertical. EDIT: Adrian WojnarowskiVerified account @WojVerticalNBA Sources: For now, Bird's plan is consulting, but Orlando's search firm has been asking around about him as possible candidate for president. !

Magicman28 295 Report post Posted April 28, 2017 he could probably consult with us too if he wanted. Has there ever been someone who's consult two teams at once before? Btw, we're using a firm to help us in our GM search. Know anything about this becauae this is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Know anything about this becauae this is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing. every time a coach or a GM job is open there's usually a firm hired to help with the selection process. This happens regularly in college football, college basketball, and professional sports. What they do is they keep regular tabs on the landscape using connections with the sport. Then they provide a list of the best fit. Firms exist because it's often too difficult to obtain a comprehensive list for candidates. Some are obvious but you're going to work with a pretty shallow pool if you only obtain people you've heard of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
