DA/JZ Press Conference

He mentioned... THT being a dynamic something or other... I just don't get it but I guess I will trust them that there is something worthwhile there.

It was odd he was one of the only players he singled out. I guess the front office sees something in him the rest of us don't.
 
I think a lot of this not trusting team mates thing stemmed from the coach. Quin was either clueless how to get the team to play together, or he fostered it and and encouraged this hero-ball mentality. I am glad he is gone too.

I definitely think Quin was guilty of giving certain players too long of a leash at times, and too much of a green light on offense.

Quin was part of the team and shares in the blame/problem but I wouldn't place as much blame as you are. Coaches have different strengths and weaknesses and crazy part is Quin has multiple degrees at Duke, double major in philosophy and political science, and, later received a J.D. degree from Duke Law School in 1995 and an M.B.A. degree. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quin_Snyder

So maybe his style no longer fit or meshed with what the team had grown into and he even eluded to a big in his exit press conference that he felt the team had the talent but needed a different voice.

To me it was no one thing but a collection of different things that just all added up.

Not me. I think Donny got bigger than the team because of Ryan, not Quin. Quin was offered big bucks to stay and had no interest in Danny's plan. Makes perfect sense now why he left.

I didn't think Quin was a bad coach either, but the list of degrees he has doesn't mean anything about his ability to actually coach a team.

Ehh. That, or the Millers saw everything coming and ownership has little to do with this.
 
What are you talking about? The Thunder had hoards of picks from the WB and PG trades.

The 5 firsts in the PG trade were from Miami and LAC. How many will be in the lottery? (2022 went 12)
They got two protected firsts in the Westbrook trade.

Now compare to Jazz picks

"What are you talking about?"
 
That's the point. having future picks does not mean your rebuild gets done in 1-2 years. If your expectation is 1-2 years, your expectation is a miracle.

Nice straw man. I never said 1-2 years was my expectation. Keep the debate honest, please

I said the Jazz had a running start with their assets. You seem to be missing how picks will be parlayed into trades that accelerate the rebuild. It is not just drafting and developing.
