of this video in today’s video we’re
talking about the Hornet signing a new
president of basketball operations Jeff
Peterson who was the assistant GM for
the Brooklyn Nets 35 years old well
respected around the league I have a lot
to say about him but I’ll kind of keep
it brief as I know everybody doesn’t
have that much time but in the podcast
that will probably be releasing in
sometime around this video uh I will go
more in depth about it and kind of give
like my deep thoughts on it but for the
sake of this video the things you need
to know about him is that he he was with
the um Atlanta Hawks and he’s been with
the Brooklyn Nets of course he went from
intern to GM which is something well
assistant GM I should say which is
something I really respect I one thing
about businesses in general I mean we
could take basketball out of and just
talk about businesses because at the end
of the day these are corporate well not
corporations but these are businesses
these teams it’s the best managers the
best leaders are people who kind of went
through the ranks for the most part you
know sometimes there’s you know
different factors here and there but a
lot of times the guys who get the most
respect the guys who really kind of make
an impact on the culture and on just
kind of how things go within a company
are the people who kind of saw it from
the bottom and was able to see it once
they got to the top that those are
things that really inspire people and I
think that him being have done that with
the Hawks in such a fast right I think
it was like in four years that g that
garnered him a lot of respect around the
league now he goes on to Brooklyn which
I’ve read reports on him and like I said
I’ll get more into this in the podcast
but I obviously don’t want to you know
talk your ear off there was times like
with being with the Brooklyn Nets that
Shawn marks who was the GM was like this
guy assistant GM willing to go get
coffee for people he’s willing to take
down notes for people he’s willing to do
these things because he understands kind
of like back from his intern days this
is what helps him be better he keeps
like a notepad of like things he likes
and doesn’t like how people run
organizations he’s very reflective on
kind of like decisions that are made he
T he takes responsibility and we’re not
we’re just talking about small little
like in like intangibles we’re not even
talking about his ability to actually
you know run a team which I I have high
faith in him and as far as like what the
horns are going to do next I have no
idea um the think the idea would be to
possibly pair him with someone who’s
kind of been around a little longer I
don’t think it’s necessarily to babysit
him but it’s it is someone to kind of
checks and balances cuz the whole thing
is the Hornets are trying to Mitch cup
chat and and not not to say Mitch cuup
caused this but Mitch Cub was the
president of back basketball operations
and the GM typically that is some
there’s one person who plays both those
roles you can look at uh I believe it’s
RC Buford for the San Antonio Spurs that
that’s not an uncommon thing but
unfortunately what was going on for the
charlot Hornets is we know Mitch was
MJ’s buddy so there was no checks and
balances between those type of ideas and
then talking to MJ it was kind of like
whatever MJ said whatever you know M
kind of line with MJ I don’t really
think Mitch was a yes man but I do feel
like him and MJ probably had very very
similar ideologies which we all know
were kind of old so that’s kind of where
I like that the Hornets are saying hey
we’re going to have a basketball
operations person we’re going to have a
general manager we need those two guys
to kind of work together work as one but
it’s very important that we keep them
separate because they’re able to like I
said balance each other and I think the
best way to balance each other by having
someone young is having someone elder or
at least more experienced because uh
Jeff Peterson has not been in the league
that long yes in terms of like uh like I
said from his internship to now yes but
as far as like being an assistant GM we
also being an assistant GM we don’t know
how much moves that has he really made
or what he’s been really responsible for
I did see in an article that
unfortunately is an athletic article or
else you know I would put it in here but
you could get in trouble for that cuz uh
paid but I saw in an athletic article
that um he also was responsible for
scouting camp cam Thomas it was a huge
reason to Nets drafted cam Thomas now
think of Cam Thomas how you may one
thing we can say cam Thomas is a bucket
it don’t matter if he plays 10 minutes
15 minutes 30 minutes somehow he’s going
to score 30 points it doesn’t matter if
he plays 30 minutes to 5 minutes he’s
going to score 30 points of course with
that being said there’s probably other
players he was responsible for just the
article just mentioned cam Thomas so to
just see a guy who’s just so in tune so
retrospective a guy who really feels as
though you know what it means to really
be in this position I think they
couldn’t have found a better person
especially with his um with with his
kind of rapport with uh Rich Rick SN I
always say rich but it’s Rick schn um I
think that those are all things that are
important I mean we’re going to also see
probably guys like Wes Wilcox maybe
who’s the assistant GM for the uh what
is it Sacramento Kings he also was kind
of in that Atlanta phase so maybe they
all reunite I don’t know but as far as
Jeff Peterson goes we have I think we
have a solid guy I think this this is
the right choice to make now I will say
I’m not sure that they’re going to hire
Jeff Peterson and say okay make the rest
of our move such as coach GM all that
they’re definitely going to take in his
input but I I personally feel like the
owners are going to kind of put the
first front office together now when it
does come to coach and staff I think
Jeff Peterson whoever his GM is they’re
going to be the ones in charge of that
and maybe try to get the owners to sign
off but as far as like the front office
and all those positions around and
there’s so many I don’t know them all
that is going to be strictly owners I
think like I said they’re going to
listen to Jeff Cuz technically
basketball operations that’s kind of
your job but they’re going to listen to
him for sure I don’t think it’s to
undermine him but the dude just got the
job today and we kind I mean the team
needs a GM team needs a coach team needs
focusing on staff so there’s other
things that come along with that but
I’ll talk about all that in the podcast
but if you’re just wondering about Jeff
Peterson and kind of what it is around
the league he’s well respected Kevin
Durant Kyrie Irving those are just two
huge names uh that are reported to be
you
know uh just kind of just kind of have
Jeff Peterson’s back kind of is the best
way for me to put it he actually played
like a ball with KD or something like
that it’s crazy but he’s known to have
relationships with players it’s just it
sound I have not heard a bad thing about
this guy from multiple organizations
from multiple like from Nets fans from
just people who are fans of the NBA I’ve
just never I haven’t heard anything bad
about this guy and of course we’ve been
leaked to him since like last summer so
I think it’s the right hire we’ll only
see where it
goes um I know you can look at the Nets
and say okay look at them they’re kind
of a mess but a lot of what I’ve seen
from Nets fans is saying that’s all
Shawn Marx that has nothing to do with
Jeff Peterson and in fact I’ve seen
things that people say they’re convinced
now of course no one knows for sure but
they’re convinced that Shawn Marx is
like kind of not literally not listening
to Jeff Peterson now we you know you
know how Twitter gets you know how some
articles can get I’m not going to sit
here and say that’s fat but I’ve seen it
a
lot I just say don’t judge the nette’s
current situation and put that on Jeff
Peterson overall like I said great hire
