Spurs hire former Knick president and GM


 Spurs hire former Knick president and GM

The San Antonio Spurs have hired former New York Knicks president and general manager Scott Layden as an[..]istant GM, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Layden had been an[..]istant coach with the Jazz, and replaces Dennis Lindsey, who left the Spurs to become Utah’s GM last month.

Front-office jobs with the Spurs are considered golden in the NBA, largely because of the chance to work under GM RC Buford and president-coach Gregg Popovich. In recent years, Spurs[..]istant GMs – including Lindsey, Danny Ferry, Sam Presti and Dell Demps – have taken a fast-track to becoming top executives elsewhere.

Layden had a well-regarded run as the Jazz GM, before embarking on a tumultuous 4½-year stay in New York in 1999. As Jazz GM from 1992-99, Layden’s draft picks and deals played a significant part in the organization’s two trips to the NBA Finals and three straight 60-victory seasons.

One of Layden’s primary responsibilities will be administering the Spurs’ scouting department.

Houston Rockets VP of Player Personnel Gersson Rosas had also been a serious candidate for the Spurs job, league sources said.

Because the !! with Isiah was a circus.

Layden crippled us, left Zeke with a lot of bull!! to dig out & Zeke just couldn't dig all the way out. Not to mention Isiah had this big fallout with Marbury, then there was the contract extension that he clearly didn't deserve, then there was the Nuggets/Knicks brawl that he instigated, "The Trade" for Eddy Curry and of course the lawsuit against Anauche.

The NY media was leading a public execution for his head & the fans bought into it because we were all sick & fed up not only with the losing but the way the organization became a laughingstock.

I'm probably one of the few Knicks fans who despite saying all of that & is happy that he's gone from the GM & head coaching position, would love to have him in a small talent evaluator role.

Cliffnote:

So to sum it up the reason why Zeke gets all the bull!! is because his era led to us being an embarrassment to the NBA.

But still, I always felt like Layden's hands were just as if not even dirtier despite the fact that the media seemed to gloss over his existence. That bum[..] lookin robert irvine[..] nicca. It's almost like bush getting us in piles of !!, then obama comes along and tries to save us but then nigas are like !! obama as if he put us here in the first place. I'd rather have thomas serving a role on my staff than layden [pic]

Bruh trust me when I say I agree 1000% percent with you especially the bolded but too many things !!ed it up for Thomas. I tried stressing it to fellow Knicks fans on RealGM, that Layden was worse but they thought I was out of my rabid[..] mind [pic]

Layden did worse but Isiah didn't make it any better. Zeke actually did some good but the bad will always stand out further in Knicks fans eyes. [pic]
