To tie in to people bringing up owner 'basketball savvy,' think of it like this: the President is essentially that savvy acting as proxy for the owner of every decision dealing with on the court performance. It is what Loomis is to the Saints. Sometimes they have additional knowledge about player personnel scouting (like Zarren) sometimes they don't.
To the extent a President doesn't have the required in-depth personnel knowledge you would have a GM under him and then various positions down the line like Dir. of Player Personnel, Dir. of Scouting, etc. Like the Saints have Loomis, Ireland, etc.

Sure. Loomis has a career in the NFL. He is currently holding down that job full time while being team president of an NBA franchise.
If he was a career football exec, but now leading the Pels full time, ok. Not ideal, but at least he can dig in and learn about the NBA. He has experience running a pro team.
Instead, this is clearly a 2nd job for him and the person he's relying on is Dell Demps, who has proven over the last decade that he doesn't really know what he's doing.
Forget basketball savvy, that's not very business savvy. Unless the business is "we don't really care about the basketball team as long as we are in the black"
