Who is Rick Sund?

[benhillboy]

Cleveland suffers their second home loss Saturday. Let's go, backcourt. (Did 'yall see LeBron stealing Joe's runner/ floater twice in the lane to secure a win? Beastly.)

Now that's out the way, does anybody have any insight or interesting facts about our mute GM? The way this team is coming together reflects very favorably on his managerial skills, seeing that we've missed starters for a great chunk of the season, yet will most likely jump 4 spots in the playoffs with the addition of two bench players in an improved Conference (albeit very professional, veteran players.)

All I know is he's very soft-spoken, nice, and he tends to take Flip wherever he goes. The guy built a Seattle squad that had an epic semi-final series against the Spurs a few years back with very limited talent around Ray Allen other than Rashard Lewis and Flip.

GM's have always intrigued me because they are regarded many times as the most cerebral member of a professional franchise. Many are the direct opposite. They also control how much publicity they recieve, with some mentioned everyday in the sports news, and some go unheard of for years. Juxtaposed with the boy-genius Dimitroff and the widely-hated Wren, Sund is exceptionally hidden, quiet, and mysterious. What is his philosophy on building a team? He must have a candid, if not controversial view on his employers' court debacle. While 26 teams felt the need to make roster moves before the deadline, he didn't, shrewdly. What sold him on Woody? How does he like the "A"? How does he feel about the poor attendance for one of the most exciting teams in the league?

Hopefully he'll come from under his rock, talk basketball and maybe a little more with a reputable, interesting, and insightful media source here (not the AJC.)

We're reaping the benefits of the signing of Flip. Mo as well. Can't argue with 13-1. Whatever he's doing, he's doing it right. His ability to evaluate personnel that fits Woody's philosophy of play was dead on. His knowledge and experience has shone through in his first year.
