Rob Pelinka Discussion: President Of BBall Ops + GM + Extension

i've been over this a lot, but i just kind of don't believe in great basketball gms as a concept. i do believe in bad ones, and rob's not that.

but the idea that one guy can just outmanage the other guys given the same resources/circumstances...i don't believe it. all of these guys operate with different directives, and very rarely does anyone actually innovate in a way that confers a huge advantage.

rob's big mistakes (e.g., westbrook) come from the same place as his big successes (e.g., AD and luka).
