What are Newsome's responsibilities for the Crew?

Newsome's responsibilities? Oh, mostly just to tell me I'm an idiot and don't know what the heck I'm doing.
But honestly, that's a great question. The way I play this there is really very little need for him. But I always find it interesting and slightly helpful to get his feedback when working on trades. It often pushes me to keep haggling with a trade until it gets to a place that I consider reasonably optimal (i.e. good for our team but not taking great advantage of the AI), even if the trade I land on still doesn't satisfy the Assistant G.M. (And really, it almost never does.)
Oh, and I should say that I've noticed some really solid AI team to AI team trades this off-season that I haven't reported on here. I really do feel like the AI algorithm is getting better and better all the time.
