>“I would have a lot of questions I would want to ask,” Executive A said, “but the biggest one would be: Are you willing to start over and build from the bottom up?

I think that’s an important question. Why haven’t you traded Bradley Beal? Because he’s a good player, but he’s probably the second or third player on a really, really good team, not the guy to build around.”
>“I haven’t seen their whole facility they’ve built — I’ve been in there, done a quick pass-through,” Executive E said. “But I’ve talked to people there, and they don’t have the space that they were hoping for.
A lot of questions over the level of autonomy the GM would have over the coaching and FO staff too.
