Or maybe it's just what GM's do.

There's a ton of talent to see on both games.

Surely he's enjoying and probably salivating at the opportunity of drafting Julius Randle right now, but just because he's there doesnt mean we're going to tank.

It's just easier, logistically. When 10-15 potentially first round talent converges in one building, why would you not come (as an NBA GM that is).

Luol Deng is there too. Looks like this isn't the Bulls' year.

He's a Duke alum. He's probably there to cheer for his school.

No..looks like he's doing his job as a GM of a team with some potentially good picks.

And there's like 10 guys in these games that could go between picks 10-25. Like most, I think Ainge probably is hoping for a top 5 pick, but him being at this game doesn't really indicate much.

Or trading for good picks.

I think they said there were something like 68 NBA executives at the game.  Every team has at least one person there.

There are upwards of 15 players being considered for the first round at those two games.  You'd be foolish to not be there as an NBA GM.

You mean, EVERY team is tanking this year?

I don't know about that. Either Randle is just too good or he's not really that strong down low. He was getting killed by Randle.

But that's just me.
