Rockets executive Gersson Rosas considered serious candidate for Hornets GM job

Good move for the Hornets, bummer for us. He's been great for the Rockets.

 

he's the one that got us CP3 and Harden

 

Anyone have links at what he handles? I only remember his name from when he stayed with Cuban for a summer.

 

If he gets the job, hope it works out better than the Mavericks.

 

Wrong.

That honor belongs to this star in the making:

 

Would hate to lose Gerson again, behind the scenes he's gotta be huge asset for us.

Hope Charlotte takes the bait for Kupchek. That's not saying he's a bad GM either, the guy who put to together one of the best dynasty's ever. Although I think the limelight of LA helped draw those players too

 

Kupchak?
WOW!

A UNC graduate AND played in the NBA and won titles. Not who I would pick but knowing what we know about MJ I can see the appeal.

 

Rosas would be a good fit. You’d see their roster be overhauled.

 

Unless Rosas went to UNC too I don't think he's going there. I'm sure the smart people around MJ want Rosas but Jordan does what he does.

 

He has to know better than joining an MJ team. Career suicide.

 

I seriously thought him long retired

@topfive's_gf and I were at the game in the MODA Center last night and I noticed that Gerson was sitting two rows in front of us. Every time he pulled out his cell phone, I had to resist trying to take a pic of his texts to enlarge it and see if there was anything in there from Michael Jordan himself.

Just before the second half, I walked up and introduced myself to him and told him I was a longtime Rox fan. Very nice guy, really genuine and down-to-earth. We talked for a minute and I wished him good luck regarding the Hornets gig. When I asked him if he was optimistic about his chances, his response was:

"Hey, we've still got a lot of work to do with this team (the Rockets) this year."

Nice to know his focus is where it should be.

 

That's actually a really cool story bro. Gerson sounds like a really nice guy, would hate to lose him. Thanks for sharing

 

I almost wonder if Rosas is being built up as a "candidate" so when MJ eventually picks Kupcheck he can say he looked at more candidates vs just choosing Mitch right away.
