"What it says about Sam is that he's been pretty good with his asset management," the second executive said. "If you start to trace the asset trees of the things he's done, there aren't very many dead ends. He's going to try to use every piece that he can -- every aspect of the trade, every trade exception, every draft pick, every little thing -- and he's going to try to make something out of it. He has always had a vision, and he's always been decisive." The executive added, "People would say it's obvious when he took over the Sonics to trade Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis and do a rebuild, but at the time it was not obvious. They were only one year removed from having a pretty good team, and [Allen and Lewis] were regarded as good players and the rebuild was regarded as uncertain."
