Another thing Baylor ought to be credited with is putting together a 
pretty good team (maybe especially last year) under the Donald's thumb. 
 I guess that's mostly talent evaluation, as you said.  And yes, they 
play in a better conference and division.  And he's still not going to 
make the playoffs this year, either.

It's all moot, anyway, since the article you sent quoted him as saying 
he'll never leave SoCal.  So, in addition to everything else, Baylor's 
a fool.  :)

Are you going to answer the original question, which was "What is the 
benefit to having a GM who tells 'the truth'?"
