Re: Basketball 2017
Like all GM's he had some hits and misses.
It's a really interesting question when you have someone who is a generational talent, and especially when you have a generational talent that seems to mesh (at least for purposes of winning championships) with the head coach, and perhaps with one or two additional key players.
If I was the owner of the team, I'd ride that player into retirement, and I would not, under any circumstances, change the key components. I'd change the supplementary players, as necessary, but otherwise I'd let it ride, and when the generational talent retired I'd count up my championship trophies.
Krause and the Chicago Bulls failed to do that. But they're not the first. The Oilers did it with Gretzky. Various teams have done it with LeBron. Maybe the Patriots can be added to that list.
The mistake Krause made is the same one many make. That is, failing to recognize that your success is not due to your hard work and skills as a GM, but in large part due to your great fortune in finding a magic formula between a special player and a particular coach.
