New Addition to the FO?

What really nailed the interview is when Kevin O'Connor asked Zanik what particular talents he'd bring to the Jazz that would most assist Lindsey.
Zanik's reply to the question? "No comment."

Why is isn't is this isn't interesting?

Fixed.

 

[LogGrad98]

it does make me wonder if he will encourage picking up one of his former clients.

I'm assuming that he has to quit being an agent? Conflict of interests and such?

Could be a win-win.

I would assume an Assistant GM position pays less than being a top 20 agent. I guess it's a good career move if you want to eventually be a GM.

Definitely. A likely cut in pay, but since he belongs to an agency, you can't assume he gets all of the traditional commission an independent agent would get. There would be many deductions from his share of those eight players.

I do like his resume of international players. Lindsey has already increased international scouting. And, with all the future assets he's already traded for, I think "draft and stash" is going to be used for most of the 2nd-round picks going forward. It's a great strategic fit.
