I thought the president was supposed to do that.  Hol up, it ain't one.  I gotta seriously question my continued alliegence to these Hawks Basketball Club people.

This is reminding me of ASG.. pretty confusing as to who is making a decision!

Well there isn't a set definition for front office roles across the NBA to begin with.  Some teams have GMs that fulfill the role of PBO, vice versa, and then individuals that hold both titles.  This is obvious as fans have been calling Bud the GM when he insn't or wasn't.  As Ressler stated, the owner decides the significance of the title and roles.

Anybody catch Ressler on 92.9 about an hour ago?

Working from home, I wound up taking a Siesta de Mayo and, with Ressler talking in the background, dreamed that Ressler was stepping to Barkley and calling him a baffoon. I might wanna check what's in this water after all.

Ressler thought this team would be better than the team from 2 years ago? Yikes.

The more the guy talks the worse he starts to seem.
