Like what's the whole point? If the stubborn owner doesn't care then what does what any of us think matter.
I don't expect different decision making, I observe it in their actions.

- BT consistently traded away picks including those in the first and 2nd rounds. Conroy has been accumulating picks
- BT relied on bridge deals for his key RFA players, Conroy signs the guys he believes to long deals
- BT allowed key UFAs to walk, Conroy has traded or signed them
- BT spent to the cap and was active with veteran UFAs, Conroy has stayed largely away from that

Some of that is a function of the teams being in different parts of the contention window, which you can't totally parse, but the actions suggest Conroy learned a lot from what BT did, both the good and the bad, and is making different types of decisions.

I care about actions.
