With all due respect to you and your source I have not seen anyone or read anywhere that LP was partly or fully responsible for building this team. That’s generally a responsibility that’s generally reserved for a more veteran coach with a track record of success. Also keep in mind that the Hawks had Bud, who was wildly successful, in a dual GM/Coach role with Wes Wilcox and it was a failure. So I’m not buying that our same owner, Tony Ressler, would allow the same thing to happen with successive coaches and a coach in LP who had never coached before.
Is it possible LP was a part of player workouts during the draft process and gave Schlenk his feedback on prospects? Sure
Was LP in the war room on draft night talking to the FO and sharing insight on guys? Possibly
But was LP making decisions on drafts, long term team building strategy and player personnel? I highly doubt it breh
