The GM’s office is a big, beautiful space in a prime part of the facility. It has two glass walls — one that looks out onto the practice courts and one that borders the office section of the building. You can see everything inside the office, which is where the automatic electric blinds come in. According to Son of Sam, it was initially designed as a war room and/or conference room. He said the original plans, from the Sam Hinkie days, called for the GM’s office to be much more modest — a smaller room he called "nothing special" that was located by the parking lot where the players enter. That changed, SOS said, when Colangelo took over. He didn’t want the small office. He wanted the big glass box.
