I've long believed that Chris Mullin never got the Warriors VP/ GM duties on merit ("tutelage" under Gary St. Jean- hmmm), but rather name. Just like the Mike Montgomery hiring, Mullin's elevation seemed like a publicity stunt way back in 2004. It makes you wonder if Smith got a raw deal from Chris Cohan because he didn't have that celebrity status in the Bay. Well if that was indeed the case, it's good to see things turned out well for Smith in the biggety-biggety O (Orlando, not Oakland in the NBA landscape).
