Bob Myers, Golden State GM, hired with zero front office experience.

Yes he was an agent and had contract negotiation experience, but he had no experience with the talent evaluation side of things


So he had experience working with front offices just from the other side. He was familiar with how the CBA and cap operated to get his players the best deals he could.

Billups sat behind a desk and gave hot takes.

The list of GMs hired who didn't check off every box in terms of experience to do all the things a GM does is probably the majority of GMs


No shite. no candidate for any job anywhere is a perfect candidate, but I they at least have some experience and prerequisite skills/knowledge.

I personally just don't think its wise to hire a GM with zero experience for the CAVS and the situation they are in right now.

I think that would be fine for a team with assets looking to build towards the future.

Right.

1 guy has zero cap experience, the other has zero talent evaluation experience.
