Ryan McDonough worked in the Celtics front office with Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers, and then as Suns GM traded Zhaire Smith to the Sixers for Mikal Bridges and a first round pick. We talk to McDonough about Rivers and the trade, how a GM works with ownership, transitioning from the front office to media and more. We also discuss Sixers Director of Scouting Phil Jabour leaving, Dave Joerger potentially joining the coaching staff, and ANOTHER book?
