If he doesn't have the authority to perform those functions, then he's not a true General Manager... So it should follow that if he's not a true GM then he's not a real general manager, which is the point that's being illustrated... |

He does what he is supposed to do. Every year we have cap problems and every year he finds money to sign "big name" free agents. That is his job and his forte. The fault lies with Payton and the scouts when it comes to the players who are bought with that money. We dont know what happens behind closed doors. For all we know he could be begging and pleading with Payton not to sign these guys to no avail. |
