That's because of 40 years of being a mom and pop entity.

DC is NOT a small market. It's been run like a small market for no reason.

Even Ted is waking up.

“We had several people on our wish list to interview, and when we told Michael these were some people we were talking to, he said, ‘I know them, they’re great, why don’t I see if we can bring them onto the team?’” Leonsis said. “That is not common in sports; when you hire a No. 1 person, they’re often reluctant to hire great people underneath them out of the gate because they’re insecure. Travis (Schlenk) worked in Golden State and was Michael in Atlanta, and Will (Dawkins) is an up-and-coming youn exec from a great organization. John Thompson III helped me out greatly and is being underutilized in the organization right now, and with Wes (Unseld Jr,), he comes from a program (Denver) that’s in the Finals. Overnight, I think we’ve created a front office that is really deep, but now, they have a lot of work to do. Michael is very thoughtful, but he has a lot of smart people around him, because today’s NBA is no longer a mom-and-pop business; there are big decisions with big dollars involved, putting money not just towards payroll but also towards infrastructure.”

@DoubleJ13 @Loose @SHO-NUFF Breh Will Dawkins started out as a grunt intern in SEATTLE at 21 years old?

You guys ever see Winger talk before?

 

[staticshock]

Travis Schlenk is a fantastic pickup

 

[STAN JONES]

NBA brehs are these good hires?

OKC is usually good at drafting so im guessing the guy they got from them is good but what about the guys from the Clippers and Hawks

Travis Schlenk was part of building the Warriors core and he got 2 rings.

Winger was the GM of the Clippers but Lawrence Frank had final say. It seems he was more on strategic planning, contract negotiation, trade negotiation, CBA, etc. Winger also worked in OKC under Sam Presti with Will Dawkins.

So let's hope the Presti magic materializes.
