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.
Right.

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

How does Billups have talent evaluation experience? Because he played?

ETA: talent evaluation has moved more toward analytics and less toward 'the eye test' lately.

There's a huge difference between those two things, but you know that. And Billups technically doesn't have any talejt evaluation experience, but that doesn't mean he's not good at it. A lot more people can evaluate talent then understand the complexities of a multi billion dollar business.

Talent evaluation, I would argue, is one a GMs easiest jobs.
