Offer open tryout invitation to Latrell Spreewell; offer to pay for gas from Milwaukee to La Crosse 2. Invite Paul Shirley to live blog said tryout; not to play for the team 3. Issue restraining order against Isiah Thomas effective for all franchises of newly formed league 4. Move to pay players in Euros 5. Cut Latrell Spreewell 6. Send Bill Simmons "you wish you were here" Catbirds postcard 7. Employ Stu to track down and sign all formerly great (okay, good) players with some sort of random gloriousness 8. Establish official corporate sponsor relationship with Thompson's Water Seal 9. Hold open tryouts for Dance Team. Full track suits likely required. Top priorities on my 100-day plan as GM:
