Somewhere down the line he decided he was above the team

As I remember, international refs suck worse than ours. So no.
Duron is going to spend most of his time laying under the basket and yelling at the refs.

Sloan had to leave sometime. I doubt he wanted to stick around for another rebuilding.

only idiots need Deron to get excited about the Jazz Jazz basketball has always been about team ball, and not individual players. D-Will betrayed that concept. Sloan catered to his every whim, and Deron ends up running Sloan into retirement.

I remember Sloan saying one time that the most fun he ever had coaching was the year after Malone and Stockton left.
Doesn't mean he wanted to repeat the process again ten yeas later (and ten years older). The reason Sloan stuck around for so long because he was chasing that outside shot of the Championship with Williams.

Wasn't disputing your post, just speculating. I thought I'd throw that in there.
Yeah, I would say Greece was the 1st or 2nd best paying league at one time. The owners of a couple of the teams are loaded, but the massive economic issues Greece has had has diminished the pay their.

I'm hoping he stay there for a month or two, hates it, and ends up not getting paid somehow because the franchise stiffs him.

You're probably right about that. How many times do you think Soan heard, "anyone could have a winning record with Stockton and Malone?" Coaching the no-namers to a respectable record and then making the conference finals proved he could be successful with other players. I think he proved some doubters wrong about his coaching ability.
Wasn't there a rumor that KOC wanted CP3 and Sloan lobbied for Deron. The constant bickering with Deron, without support from Greg led to Jerry losing interest in coaching the team. Had Larry H still been alive, I think Jerry might still be coaching. Larry may not have agreed to suspend Deron, but you can bet he would have intervened somehow. Greg (and KOC) let the situation fester too long - and that emboldened Deron to just increase his insubordination.

The Deron shakeup was a blessing in disguise. Sloan would have retired this year or next anyways....he is turning 70. There was also no doubt Deron Williams would not be resigning, he has about 5 prime years left and is going to want a good chance at a ring, even if it means he takes less money. So, sssuming there is a full year lockout, the Jazz traded about 30 games of Deron for:
Devin Harris
Derrick Favors
Enes Kanter
Alec Burks (with Deron here we don't get #12 and probably end up with a lesser potential player like a Morris twin)
Michael Gilchrist (likely choice from the GS pick)
You can't ask for a better haul than that.
