The read

The most decorated career in the league runs on the least maintenance. David M has made eleven trades in nine seasons on record, six of them since 2021, the fewest of any active manager with nine seasons, and has three rings and the all-time power lead. His best deal is a 2019 one with Mikayel, +242.0 in the long run. He wins the auction in August and trusts the roster through December. His 2021 season set three scoring records that still stand and won him a title.

He is a Raiders fan with zero Raiders on his long-tenure list, so the drafting is pure spreadsheet. The weak spots are known. His 8-7 playoff record is ordinary next to a .557 regular-season clip, and he has lost 17 winnable games with a better lineup sitting on his bench. None of it has mattered much, because he keeps picking better players than everyone else.
