DL and Quin Snyder Rift

[cowhide]

So, among other things, Quin didn't like Dennis's player acquisitions; Dennis didn't like Quin's rigidness in rotations, according to the latest Tribune article.

I do not like either of these.

I thought Brantley was one of Zanik's guys. I think Zanik likes the big-body type. With Brantley, he'd already put up 19/8 in the G-league, and he didn't play with the Stars this year at all. He just sat around.

How in the hell you going to know who is a Zanick guy or DL guy? DL is the person who makes the decision. Everyone on the roster is one of his guys currently.

I think both are to blame. Quin should be trying more guys out. Like I said, not a Brantley fan, but he did show some promise when he got minutes. Why not give him some actual minutes? Nearly everyone here shares DL's frustration. Why did we play Tony Bradley over Juwan Morgan constantly?

It’s pretty obvious that Q gets ride-or-die syndrome.

Agreed. Exum and Bradley are 2 that come to mind.
Especially Exum, though at least he eventually gave up him. It was just way too late.

Did Kevin O'Connor have the same syndrome? (I don't remember). If so, could it be partly due to lack of players wanting to come here so the GM feels the need to hang on to the ones already here?

I think there is also a weird issue where we feel like if we have rotation nba players on the bench and they aren't in the rotation... then we need to switch them out for young unproven guys... who are fine sitting on the bench.

Quin needs to be more flexible but he needs some better talent to move him in that direction too. I think if DL had provided some veteran options for Quin then it might be Quin on the hotseat and not DL out in the cold. I would have done it as a CYA measure.

Sounds as though Donovan and Dwayne kinda pushed DL out too... listening to Wind Horse on his pod... take it for what its worth... that fool loves to talk.

KOC had his pet players but they overlapped with Jerry's (Collins, Harpring). KOC would make stupid comments going into an off-season like "re-signing Jarron Collins is our top priority this summer." He did bring back the same team three years in a row while we had the exact same outcome (getting bumped by the Lakers in the playoffs) but in successively less games each year.

I wonder if the Elijah Millsap stuff had any influence on this.

What'd he say? If so, 'tis exactly as I said: having someone like Wade around means you're going to get laughed at when you wear the emperor's new clothes.

Because Zanik gave a press conference the day after that draft and said they liked Brantley for his body and potential.

You are just a charmer. I mean Maxwell, a known abuser of women is telling twitter to stop Asian hate. So I guess Asian women are the only ones safe with him.

You follow who you want to follow, but don't be throwing Maxwell around here like some sort of truth teller, dickwad.

Mad Max sounds like a real *******. I don’t disagree with you. His tweets are funny . I’m not defending him tho. People comment about Stockton and Malone with reverence all the time in here, is that different or somehow better?

Skeptic of closing down youth sports vs. kidnapping? Is that the question?
