Since we Blazer fans are so interested in the player decisions of management, I'm wondering if those in corporate HR positions might like to chime in regarding retaining/acquiring/letting go of their key pieces. Are there parallels between business and sports? How are negotiations different? How do you chose who to keep and who to let go? Do your long term plans affect your salary offers? Do you bring in 'Hedo' types? How do you balance character with performance?
