[Lewis] Willis Reed will always be viewed as a Knicks legend. But he joined the Nets in 1988, first as a coach and then GM (drafting DC, Kenny & trading for Drazen). He became Senior VP of Basketball Ops & built the team that went to the NBA Finals

RIP Reed and RIP Drazen
Taking DC ahead of Gary Peyton was a mistake
That said, the Drazen trade is one of the most underrated moves of all time in my opinion. RIP
RIP. I remember him as the GM when I was kid and I was blown away to find out he was a Knicks legend. I had no idea.
