You don't want the owners to waste money anywhere, but how disheartening it must be for Denver fans to see their promising young GM leave over a pittance. (Denver Stiffs' Andrew Feinstein has a good take on it.)

I continue to remain perplexed at Oklahoma City's refusal to allow Troy Weaver to interview for GM jobs. That's not normal in the NBA.
