What will Red think?

''There's a managing board of four and an executive 
committee of six,'' said Wyc Grousbeck. ''If there was 
ever a major decision - major trades, major expenditures, 
yearly budgets - that kind of thing, the committee would 
be consulted.'' (...) Wyc Grousbeck joked that he hoped 
the sale would be complete before the Feb. 20, 2003 
trading deadline.

Its probably too early to read too much into this, but a 
policy of trade approval by committee seems unwieldy and 
(I imagine) highly unusual in today's NBA. 

This is one of those cases where the GM, be it Chris 
Wallace or whomever might replace him, needs to put his 
foot down for reasonable autonomy. Maybe Red could help 
him out there, since he's got a lot more influence. 

I personally wouldn't trust NBA player personnel 
decisions to the whims of a bunch of b-school geeks. This 
will have to work itself out. I expect it will. 

But I don't know what Wyc boy is doing joking about the 
February trading deadline.
