Perhaps. I think the money is more of a secondary issue, personally. But you may be right.
And thank you.

I think it is a stretch to say that. Lindsey said money would NOT be an issue in hiring a head coach. Then, when Snyder was hired, he talked about contacting Messina and Engelland. I'm sure those phone calls were made. I googled an article stating that Lawrence Frank was the highest paid assistant at $1M. I think Gentry was just hired for a bit more. I doubt the Millers would have vetoed a guy like Messina or Engelland because they wanted $1M. That would have been an easy sale for Lindsey and Snyder.

LOL oh I get it...Quinn is as good as Pop and is in a position to groom these inexperienced coaches. Or maybe its that these guys have soooo much NBA experience that they will be a real help when our new young coach hits a wall. ooookkkk.
Not a fan of this but hoping for the best.

Really? It looks like to me that Snyder was forced to take on three guys he wouldn't have selected on his own. Never a good way to start a coach off.
It does make you think. I wonder how much of carryover in coaches was about the positive relationships they had with our core guys.

It did seem obvious that Jensen and Jones would still be around regardless of who was hired, but it is also possible that Quinn doesn't have strong relationships with 4 or 5 guys that would be available and worthy of the spots in his eyes. That's not an uncommon thing in coaching.

Hey it worked for Ty Corbin.
Would anything have worked for Ty Corbin?

Umm, trust me, Snyder has 4 or 5 strong relationships with that would be available and worthy. 100's of guys, would be my guess. And it is very common. To be expected usually. These guys don't just start thinking about this once they are hired. They have names and scenarios in mind the minute they dream of being a coach. Dude wouldn't last a minute in the NBA if he didn't have dozens and dozens of strong relationships. Trust me, there is a life out there that functions based on real relationships and not "cyber friends."

Lindsey has mentioned multiple times that we can't skip steps in the rebuilding process. I wonder if we are starting to see what his steps are.
For the past a season or two the buzzwords seemed to be "Asset Accumulation." At this point it seems like we have a decent number of assets to work with and between the draft and free agency I think we will start to see a strong push to turn assets into a team with potential.
With the hire of Snyder and now the announcement of the coaching staff I can't count the number of times I have heard "Player Development." I can only assume they will try to continue to accumulate assets to the extent possible while developing players.
I like that there seems to be a method to the madness of rebuilding rather than just getting players and hoping it will work out.
So if step 1 is Asset Accumulation, Step 2 is Player Development, what is Step 3?

Step 3 is star acquisition. They're going to see how the young guys respond to the new coaches and system, then trade in some of those assets for a #1 guy. At least, thats how I see it.
