Around SBN: Full Coverage Of New York's Victory Celebration

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.

If so, Percy Harvin and The Whizzinator would like a word.

Minor League something or another?

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!

Surely I can contribute from SW MO!!

Telecommute from here to there. . . Stats analysis. . . Watch NBA TV 24-7. . .make 100,000/yr. . .

Sometimes the obvious is hidden.

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.
