Jody Genessy Deseret News - Hayward "wants better talent around him"

First off Spurs have a coach who can coach and has never been fired. Quin has gotten canned before...

Fantastic point. That is the first criteria for judging coaches -- all coaches who have been fired suck. Lenny Wilkins sucked. Thibodeau sucks. Sloan. Chuck Daily. George Karl. Suck suck suck.


PS: technically Snyder was never fired. He resigned from Missouri but almost certainly would have been fired. Was never fired from an NBA or DL job.
 
It's a big ask, but somehow the Spurs seem to talk their players into doing it. I wonder how much they end up making up for it in endorsements? I think that may play into it for some players.
Lebron did it many times as well. He was never the highest paid player on his team until his second go round in Cleveland
 
Hayward needs to step up, and worry about his own game. At times we've seen Hayward play at a high level. An Allstar level.
There have been times during the last two seasons hes looked outstanding. The problem is he is not consistent(playing at a high level), has never been an all-star,
and never led a team to the playoffs. Clearly we need to upgrade, but also clearly we have enough talent to make the playoffs
now. We've needed a leader more than anything. Hayward could be that guy. I think he is talented enough to be a good number one,
but he doesnt have the fire to be a great one. And in no reasonable scenario do I see him leading a team to a title.

We are damned if we do (build around Hayward), and dammed if we don't (trade or let him walk in FA). We have a lot of talent on the team.
With Exum, and Burks coming back clearly we should make the playoffs. With the addition of Hill we had experience, and talent. I just dont see
a leader in Hayward, Exum, or anyone on the roster. I hold out a little hope for Gobert, but he regressed last year. Too much of our talent is passive
and quiet. Favors, Hood, Hayward, Exum etc. We need some nasty on the roster.
 
Actually, yes. It's true.
Lol OK I looked it up. He never took a paycut, Cleveland just had veterans on the team who where eligible for bigger contracts. Lebron always took the full max on Cleveland.
