He's the new GM of the Nets. He could be the guy signing Zoubs' paychecks.

With all due respect to Billy King (one of my alltime favorite Duke players), I am not certain how he got another NBA GM job???

I am a 76ers fan and he basically destroyed the team's short-term future with a series of terrible contracts. Maybe he has learned from his past mistakes, but if I was a fan of the NJ Nets, I would not view this as a positive development.

Well the folks on "Around the Horn" gave Billy some good reviews and had no problem with his new gig. Not the same as a ringing endorsement, but not a negative comment from them either. Basically a "he did a pretty good job in a very difficult situation, is a good drafter, and deserves a chance in NJ"
