Well, that’s definitely something that people will want to know more about. I’ve reported in the past, before you came back that Vivek played a significant part in the decision to fire Mike Brown last year, that he played a significant part in the decision to trade De’Aaron, specifically, for Zach (LaVine, who was with the Chicago Bulls, in a three-team deal). And there’s been a reality for a long time now that his involvement made things more challenging for people in the front office. So how would you characterize the way that it has functioned so far and your level of confidence that the dynamic can be healthy? Scott Perry: When I used the word autonomy, I meant that. I’m not someone — and you know me well enough — that I’m not someone who will give lip service or say something that’s not actual truth or fact. So as the fan base examines and looks at moves, they need to look at it … from the time I got here to however long I’m going to be here. I’m going to have the ultimate autonomy and authority to make what I believe are the necessary decisions to give the fan base — this fan base that’s been yearning for winning for so long — an opportunity to have that type of team to cheer for. But we’re a ways away from that now, obviously. I want them to feel comfortable and confident in my years of experience in this position, as well as a number of the members of my front office, because we do this as a collective. We will eventually get where we want to go, and people (will be) proud of the product that they see on the floor.
