Even I wouldn't want to reread my posts!
Kudo's if you made it up yourself!
I remember we were excited about Layden because of the work he did in Utah. This was back before they had Team Presidents that mattered.
My thinking was Rose wants a GM that is "Modern" but if he is a delegator might need a strong GM type that has the cred.
Rhetorically speaking......Is track record over rated? Guy makes some good picks as a scout and shows a penchant for talent, but then he is promoted and now has responsibilities beyond.
There are elements of luck and elements of fit. A scout makes a couple of good calls, is it sustainable? What are the conditions by which change?
Tapscott? He picks Fred Weis.

From Wiki:

Tapscott formerly worked in the New York Knicks’ front office, including a stint as interim president and general manager. He’s perhaps best remembered in New York for the 1999 drafting of French center Frederic Weis who never played a game in the NBA, but much less credited for formulating the New York Knicks team, which culminated its season in the 1999 NBA Finals.
