Gotta say I'm shocked by the results. I too think he won't be here for that season, but I also think it's a greater than 5% chance (current poll results)
I mean I get why the results are what they are. These rumors are happening a lot, and Mitchell doesn't do a lot to dismiss them. He's going the "why are you talking about this" route, which is fine, but it's not the more direct "that's completely untrue route." Hearing the former leads me to believe that he's more than likely to bolt, but who knows what happens in 3 years. It's a long time away.
 
The more I think about it the more pissed I am about how little Butler has played this year. It’s absolutely ****ing stupid.

This is why he's a poor leader. He's just used to getting everything he wants.

To me this is the final nail in the coffin for Quin. He's a mediocre coach without a clue how to get the team to the next level.

Trust the system. The system is sound. Never doubt the system. Never question the system.
 
This is also management’s fault. We have to develop our young talent. They become assets.

And Forrest isn’t a real talent. So develop Butler.

I’d say his biggest flaw is that he’s never shown that he can stop the bleeding. Once the inertia and momentum gets going against us, we’re ****ed. What he says about peaking at the right time is true, because if we’re not decimating teams, he’s clueless on how to pull things out otherwise.

To his credit, he’s got a great system. But his system is like a really nice Mercedes that he parks in the open in a ******, busy neighborhood, and refuses to get insurance on because “dude, it’s a ****ing Mercedes. It’s worth a lot and it’s impenetrable and impregnable. Trust me.” Half the time he doesn’t even lock the doors.

This has been my complaint for a long time that he is bad at in-game adjustments. At the half he does a pretty good job of coming out ready to counter what they saw in the first half, but as soon as the other team adapts, Quin has no answer. He can't adjust on the fly.
 
Like what?

Every shot he wants to take? Never held accountable for anything? His best friend growing up? A college rival drafted at his request? Every dollar he could be paid (of course)? Likely pushing the organization to be as outspoken as it has on matters of race?

The better question is what hasn’t he gotten?

Never held accountable? The guy got crushed by fans and the media for the 8 second count despite scoring the third highest points in the history of the playoffs.

Did he push for Paschall? If he did, wouldn't he push for him to play when he often doesn't?

He doesn't have the green light Clarkson does. He gets questioned all the time for not getting the ball to Rudy enough.

I hate this false narrative. He doesn't get everything he wants. He doesn't cry to the media like Rudy. He hasn't demanded everything run around him. He's not demanding at all.

Quit getting influenced by guys like oneye.

Sorry, questioned and crushed etc by who? The organization? God bless every fan that blasts him when he sucks because no one in the organization is (besides maybe Gobert occasionally).

I think he is held to a harder standard than other all stars. He's questioned all the time while his All Star performances have been incredible.

And the guy never ever complains. Ever.

I just don't get this narrative that everything is catered to him. Or he's a diva. It's simply not true. That's why I get so fired up about the team not being built around him.
