Hoopus throws its hat into Bill Simmons' imaginary race for the Wolves' GM job
The link above is to our first Building a Winner post. We'll update it in the next few days. First big Minny idea: Hire Simmons as the in-house personnel consultant/all-access blogger. We wouldn't even care if he pissed us off. We'd let him become the first writer to live blog from the war room of an NBA draft.

Bill Simmons + Britt Robson + Me = TWolves Dynasty for years and years
We’d win too many titles to count. Make it happen.

First hire
Charles Barkley as HC. Now that would be an entertaining team!

Can he pass
the pre-hire drug screen?
If so, Percy Harvin and The Whizzinator would like a word.

Drugs would be welcomed in our front office!

why not
hire the famous Target Center fan who coaches on the sideline with the rolled up paper as an actual assistant coach! The NBA, where dreams come true!

As goofy as this and the Simmons campaign are
would it be the worst idea in the world to created an Executive Fan Committee, made up of die-hards/bloggers/long-time season ticket holders, who would meet once a quarter with some Wolves rep from the front office, who could articulate some vision to the EFC, discuss the team, and listen to feedback?
Private businesses have Customer/Client Advisory Boards to serve the same purpose. Sometimes it’s just for show, other times the companies get some of their best ideas from these groups, and the opportunity to test-market ideas and directions.
With this organization in the current state that it is, I have a difficult time seeing what the downside of assembling a group like this would be.
