but the idea that Hinkie should have shared information & been a glad-handing, back-slapping, Aw-shucks "good Ol’ Boy" is Ridiculous
the NBA is a Cut throat Billion Dollar industry where Rich people Compete & getting a certain player w/ a #1 pick can be the difference between a multi – year championship run & the Hall of Fame career or losing your job & being branded a loser
Hinkie was an Animal……….. he absolutely Eviscerated trade partners who LET him — as he should
Sheep get Sheered in this World……….. Dainy Aigne did it…….. Jerr West did it…….Dr. Gerry Buss was a Genius at doing it…… & Red Aurbach was the Absolute Samuri Master
Contrast Hinkie the Workaholic, constantly searching for an edge w/ Jim Buss whose family members are Surprised & Thrilled when he simply shows up at work for a change…….
Hinkie absolutely had his faults but make no mistake……… Teams who think a GM is a Clown or a Buffoon Never criticize that guy b/c they WANT that guy around in perpetuity…….. b/c you Never had to worry about THAT type of guy Beating you……. (Insert Vlade Divac’s name here)
Hinkie was assasinated by Silver b/c opposing GM’s & Execs Feared him
