Yes he does.
Malone

Oh, and btw, Deron was 10000% in the right.
Sloan was stuck in the past and D-Will was trying to help him out, but his stubbornness wouldnt let him evolve.

D-Will was discussing pick n roll coverage after practice with his teammates and Sloan freaked out on him. Let's stop acting like this is D-Will's fault when it clearly wasnt.
Great coach in the past, but he stayed past his due date.

"Primadona", you mean the player who was trying to help his coach, but the coach was so stubborn he freaked out on him when he was trying to help his teammates understand how to play the pick n roll? Or when he mirrored a play to the other side of the court because he knew Al Jefferson was a unique player who was much better on the one side of the court?
Sloan lost it. It's sad he had to bring down D-Will's name with him because he was too stubborn to retire before the year started.

Mitchell isnt there yet.

Just because you're a top 5 best player of a franchise doesn't mean that automatically makes your number retirable.
Terrible logic.

I disagree. Deron admitted Sloan was better than all of the rest of his coaches combined. Sloan had not lost it. It was fine that he retired but it was the wrong way to go out and that is on Deron. Sloan clearly wanted control and Deron didn't work it in a positive way. I like Deron a lot and am very glad they made peace. I also thought it got beyond ridiculous with the way he was treated when he came back as an opposing player. I hope he starts to come back to games and interacts with the Jazz organization in a positive way. I don't think his number should be retired but I feel the same way about Horny.

Lmao obviously 6 years of Dwill. He got the Jazz to a conference final with a laughably flawed roster and a coach who hated change like a slug hates salt.

Screw D-Will. I don’t think I will ever forgive him.

Idk how you can hear a story about Deron helping his teammates after practice with their pnr coverages and Sloan freaking out about it and not admit Sloan was the problem. If a reporter tweeted out Mitchell was doing that we would be beaming about his leadership.
I'm not sure Eaton would even have a nba career in the modern era, so yes, Gobert is better.
Do not mess with Dwillpwnasaurusrex on this topic.
It is a hot button topic.

For the folks that can't forgive DWill say what you will - you'll never, ever, ever, ever see an interview from Gordo as contrite as this.
In fact, if anything, D-Will overdid it a little bit - Sloan shares some of the blame for what happened. Clearly D-Will is being the bigger man knowing that Jerry might be approaching the end.
