NBA Players Have Too Much Influence on Front Office Decisions:

It looks like LeBron James impact will be felt for a long
time by a lot of people. The Cleveland Cavaliers fired their head coach in
Mike Brown and now general manager Danny Ferry is following Brown out the
door. If James does resign with the Cavs, it looks like he'll be in position
to pick and choose which coach and general manager he wants to play for.
This happens rarely in sports, but it does happen most in the NBA.
It's a star driven league. Phil Jackson is a great coach, but it gets pretty
easy when you're coaching two of the greatest of all time. Jordan pretty
much ran the show in Chicago and James gets the same freedom in Cleveland.
Kobe Bryant gets the same control over his team. When he needed a big man to
compliment Andrew Bynum, the team went out and got Pau Gasol. Gasol
obviously paid off, especially in game one of the NBA Finals against the
Celtics.
Players shouldn't have that much control over the team. The decision making
should be in the hands of the general manager, not the players. It's a
dynamic seen in other sports, the Yankees may consult Derek Jeter on major
decisions that will improve the team, but not every one. It shows how much
pull the players have in the NBA. There's no one player that influences his
team more than James and Bryant affect their team's front offices.
Peyton Manning didn't get to choose a successor to Tom Moore after Moore
retired as an offensive coordinator. Yes, Manning's been around so much it,
he probably writes the playbooks in Indianapolis. That's the only player
that has any control over the decision making process. Players should leave
the important decisions to the talent evaluators and let them make the
roster, not the best player.
