    Why would they wait until the summer? They have big decisions to make and they need to get someone in ASAP.

    If they bring in Tayshaun as GM can we also bring back Sheed as an assistant?! Nance getting that T last night was great, but he could really use some coaching from the GOAT.

    This is my thinking too. we HAVE to have someone here for the trade deadline. Otherwise why would they fire now? I know olshey wouldn't have done shit because he's a fucking idiot, but the optics of it.

    Trader bob all day and there's no discussion. Olshey is the worst gm we've ever had.

    Ainge is more of an a-hole than Olshey, if you can believe that.

    0% chance he gets hired here. None.

    these would be the obvious things to do. our ownership seems to lack this common sense however.

    yeah the deadline is what 3 months away? If they get someone in here within the next month that should leave plenty of time for evaluation and negotiations. And if nothing else, even if nothing happens at the deadline, it’ll give the new person time to prepare for an important summer.

    these are the first mentions of Perry and Eversley. hmm

    Perry was GM of the Pistons under Dumars when Chauncey won his title in Detroit. But he was also the guy who drafted Hezonja 5th in Orlando.

    I need to look up these dudes.

    Ah! You are refering to the Monday Morale Boosting meeting. Abusing the field hands always boosts Olshey's morale!

    Interesting that Olshey allegedly had no clue they were gonna fire him until today yet there are already 4 specific names out there as candidates to replace him. Lol funny how that works.

    Doubt it. I bet this decision was made earlier in the week and they wanted to wait to announce it on Friday.

    Additionally, I feel like if we are hiring another top executive, there isn’t a ton of *roster* evaluation that needs to go on for that GM to dive right in especially with more contracts being available for trade soon. I feel most executives have a pretty good pulse of other teams and their strengths and weaknesses as it helps them formulate trades and things of that nature.

    I do worry that the new GM, or god forbid we have interim GM for a full year, overcompensates and throws their hands up…

    “Simmons for CJ and 20 picks? SURE!”

    Eversley is a beast. He’d probably be number one on my list with Prince 2 and Barry 3. I’m liking all these names though tbh.

    Don’t know much about Eversley but Perry would be interesting.

    1. Perry
    2. Berry
    3. Eversley / Prince

    my current power rankings

    I imagine most candidates wouldn't need any sort of extensive evaluation period. Have to imagine most in the field have a good working knowledge of most of the teams in the league, as well as targets and guys they generally like. And generic team building models they could or would look to incorporate
