Don't get too excited yet. As I said day 1, Redden was Griffin's first call but it is a tough sell. What people need to understand is that the Pels "GM" position is a fake GM position. It comes with less power, responsibility, and therefore less salary than a typical GM job.

Redden will be a GM in this league, and could be one as early as next week in LA if their current GM takes the Minny job. That would come with more money, power, and a better market. A lot still in play. If Redden was a slam dunk, he would have already been announced because Griffin asked him days ago.

Man all this hype behind Griffin and Redden along with Magic and Walton (who got another job in less than 24 hours) leaving the Lakers just shows how much of a pain it is to have LeBron on your team. Also, how he basically screwed AD into looking like an idiot. I respect what he does as a civilian and his game but man it’s pretty evident he’s hard to work with.

If that's the case, they can hire me. I'll be the fall guy in two or three years if it doesn't go well. I would gladly perform this role at the lowest GM salary for two or three years while enjoying the perks that comes along with being a NBA GM. Where do I send in my resume?
