re: Stein: Two names emerge in league circles for GM: David Griffin and Mike Zarren

My choice would be Zarren. Harvard law grad. Clerked for a federal appellate judge. Worked his way up in the Celtics organization mastering analytics. Don't think it would have any detrimental impact on a potential Celtics/Pelicans trade as, ultimately, the guy isn't going to do the Celtics any favors since it's his legacy on the line if installed as head of the Pels. He'll go with the best offer available.
