That's the line of thought I've been tossing around since this latest purge.I can’t think of any recent coaches that have succeeded long term with absolute power, at least no one without the initials of BB.
As far as firing Grier, I have no idea what moves were forced on him by gase, and what players he wanted to keep vs get rid of etc that tannebaum paid or didn’t pay. Maybe Grier kept tidy records of every move he made or wanted to make to build this roster and made notes when he was given friction. That being the case... it’s quite possible he’s going to be a great gm with absolute roster power.
At least T'baum won't be involved, as we see it now.
