New Phoenix Suns GM Brian Gregory believes that he brings a lot more to the organization’s front office than just his relationship with owner Mat Ishbia.
(via Phoenix Suns):
“I think the relationship with Mat is a key factor, but I also think my body of work over my 30-some years of basketball has put me in a position where the leadership aspects of this job — I’m excited about that. I don’t necessarily am driven by to prove people wrong or anything like that, but I will say this: I understand that to the fans and to you guys, I’m going to be held accountable to executing this vision, I’m going to be held accountable to the success of this team. I completely understand that. I don’t shy away from that either, that actually excites me.
“One other area that me and Mat are extremely aligned in is our competitiveness. So you’re going to throw that challenge out there? All right, let’s go. Let’s go. No one’s going to outwork me. I think that’s a skill, that’s a talent. Don’t let anybody fool you, that’s a talent. We’re going to think differently. We’re going to be unified in our approach on a daily basis. And when you do that, then the results are going to speak for themselves. I have all the confidence in the world that under my leadership with the alignment of Mat, with Josh [Bartelstein], with our great staff that we have in every area that we have, that those changes are going to result in some great results.”
