So the decision is announced to the players... other heads get involved and Quin just changes his mind? DL came down from the front office or Mike wasn't happy. We will see what is right long term... tonight is a rough night to have this type of drama doe.

I doubt anyone told Quin what to do. I'm sure they talked about it, but people are acting like someone put a gun to Quins head.

We know what Quin wanted though so whether it was persuasion, threats, or force he isn't doing what he wanted to. Maybe he was too brash... maybe he needed to call Mike and Joe in and pick their brains first... maybe he hadn't done all the research... just from what people say about him I think he studied it out pretty thoroughly and made his decision. "other heads" influenced him and I'm not sure that's super healthy.

We know who the team that has only been together for 50ish games is? Ok...

Let's see them in the playoffs before we make such a bold statement.

This season? Yes. If you think I’m the next 25 games with this schedule....they’re going to have some dramatic shift before the postseason, it’s wishful thinking. They’ll be fine, they’ll hit the playoffs, and lose in the 1st round if it’s the Rockets, Clippers, or Lakers they play. I wouldn’t take them against the Nuggets either. Dallas would be a fight. I mean....they’ve done nothing to say otherwise and everything to re-enforce it.
 
Conspiracy theory: Mike is not the happiest person in Utah and has been playing on cruise control, and today's "flip flop" was a deliberately planned effort to put him in the spotlight. Playing poorly is one thing, but playing poorly when people think you complained about being benched is another. His character is now on the line.

Uhh, what's not healthy about someone who is humble enough to let his staff have legit input?
 
Conley thinking he should start is 100 percent the problem. The dude has sucked worse than Mudiay all year long yet still thinks he's in Memphis. Is there a way to invent a time machine and sell the farm to get Morant instead? He's the Memphis guard we should've targeted...

Here’s some other food for thought.

Joe’s advanced analytics have been God awful recently.

He’s been playing horrible lately. Routinely makes bad passes but hits Rudy in the pick-n-roll every once in awhile so he’s amazing.

Ingles gets put on a pedestal around here for some reason.

lol... his staff... you don't think his staff had already discussed it with him? "other heads" as Tony put it is almost certainly someone from the front office - either on their own or because mike or his agent weren't happy - and they should afford Quin the autonomy to setup the rotations as he pleases.
 
Quin didn't reveal much in his comments just now... it does seem like Mike wasn't pleased... Quin kind of avoided they why was there confusion today question.
