Next GM Watch

I mean, that sound good, but who are your candidates in such case? Who would you interview? You still need to identify a type and look for the one that impresses you the most.
I mean, if it was a normal job, you would want your applicants to share their vision, but from my understanding, it is teams that approach candidates first, and then ask them to impress them.

For my approach, who the candidate is doesn't really matter.  I allowed Luka to be traded and worse, my return was pitiful.  I trusted Nico's vision of win now.  While I might not want to take the hit of a long term rebuild, I need to trust someone's long term vision of what Cooper is, how to build around him, and what bits and pieces of the team should be kept and which should be used to try to fill our asset deficit.  Or maybe someone thinks we can win now or in the short term.  Ideally you'd want someone who has a long term vision, but can navigate things that might accelerate that vision (maybe you hit on the 2026 draft and Cooper's second year leap puts you ahead of pace).  I'd also interview a lot of candidates and a lot of candidates without ties to the organization.  That's not to say I wouldn't interview Lindsay or the co-GM tandem.
