I like that our teams are hiring GM's from winning franchies

First, Arthur Blank hired Dimitroff from the Patriots to run the Falcons front office. And now we've got Dannry Ferry having been brought in from the Spurs. I loved the Ferry hire from the beginning and loved it even more when he pulled off the Joe Johnson trade. Now, he's bringing in a guy who has been an assistant coach for the best franchise, with one of the best coaches, and one of the best GM's. The guy who is a winner who has coached with and for other winners. Winning is about getting the right people and developing the right processes. And I'm quite optimistic about the Atlanta area teams because we seem to be finally bringing in the right guys to lead our teams.

Soooo much better than Stan Van Gundy, by the way. Had read a story a few weeks ago Ferry wanted Stan Van Gundy and it horrified me.

If only the Thrashers and Braves had followed this formula! Hell, even the Dream hired a decent GM from the jump!
