DL and Quin Snyder Rift

I'm glad we're getting some reporting on this. It gives a small amount of relief in that if you can diagnose something wrong, there is a chance to fix it. The worst problems are the ones with no apparent cause or repair.

When **** goes sideways people start to talk... it’s nice to get a little more than just the basic lip service.

There's part of it that's annoying, too. From both fans and media. Certain fans and media would reflect "lol, there's not evidence of tension, that's silly and paranoid, everything is good," and then when stuff hits the fan, those same people are like "well yeah of course, this kinda stuff happens. You shouldn't be surprised." They just don't seem to accept that answer until it's apparently safe to say so and you're no longer an idiot for saying it.
 
Well, I kinda agree with Quin. DL’s guys kinda sucked, so why give them minutes? I get the sense Quin would play young guys if they were actually good and had great potential.

This development doesn’t bode well for a lot of the end of roster guys hoping to stick on the roster, IMO. With DL gone, and Quin getting his way, I could see a lot of them not being back.

Not just fans... Tony Jones kinda lol’d at the idea of Danny Ainge a couple weeks ago... and now he’s changed his tune.

Now some of the media are like “ yeah this isn’t surprising... he’s talked about doing this for years”. Okay well I’m fairly sure he was just asked to hit the exits... when you are an advisor with no decision making power you are basically neutered. It’s basically he still gets his checks but he’s on ice for this offseason.

Yep, really explains Morgan/Brantley bring on the team two years in a row and never playing

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.

Hah. Anyone who buys this nonsense of a guy early-to-mid prime deciding to "slow down." Yeah, he's thought about stepping away. I'm sure every single executive has thoughts of stepping away. Hell, every day I have thoughts of quitting my job, as I'm sure most of you do. They're not thoughts you're entertaining or thinking of acting on, but they are legitimately thoughts. Of course he can say that and it be true, but also completely false at the same time.

I think Brantley and Oni have potential... I can be talked into Morgan as a small ball 5 someday. Of the guys we have I think Brantley is the one I wanted to see more of. Oni had a chance and was not great.

I think what DL was trying to say is... for a couple years I’ve thought about stepping away from this job... into a job with a different franchise.

FIFY.

Quin's got the development of Haywood, Rudy, DM, Royce and Niang under his belt.

What does DL have?

Burke? Dante? Lyles? Oni? Doke?

Remember when DL was working with a different coach in 2013, we were leaving Rudy to rot on the bench. And guys like Millsap and DeMarre Carroll's career skyrocketed the moment we let them walk. It was Quin who came in and completed changed the toxic culture of this team.
