Williams, Sloan put the past where it belongs

I don't think Deron was ever a true Primadona. He was a little cocky, and stubborn, but he was never that bad.

I met him after a game in OKC, after I got what was essentially a back stage pass. It was all the players, and a lot of their families.
Deron was super chill. Took a picture with my wife, and talked and hung out the whole time. We clearly stood out being the only fans there.
Everyone was super nice to us. Brewer and CJ in particular.

Deron was crusified by some for daring to not bow to the master of all Sloan. Both men didn't handle it at all that well but I think Sloan was more of a "Primadona" in
that situation than anyone. "1, 2, 3, good luck". But I'll give him a pass. He was a legend, and gave us his all for decades.

Thrilled Deron is back with the us in some sense! He was the Mitchell of that era. Our player everyone knew all around the NBA, and had national fame.
He was also cool, and it was okay to be a Deron fan. Now I think Mitchell is even better, and an even bigger star, but Deron was pretty awesome in his prime with us.
Too bad he didn't play a couple more years with us he could have had his number in the rafters for sure.

Nope. I remember it vividly, pics of him in the locker room.

Well then, it was Boozer AND Deron.

Normally I wouldn’t trust your memory, but I know how much you enjoy (and probably download) vivid pictures taken from locker rooms. We’re right in your wheelhouse.
 
There was an article in a Chicago paper about the resignation. DWill ran the wrong play 21 times in that game and Sloan said John Stockton ran the wrong play once in his career. Sloan wanted DWill suspended, management balked and that was that.

Nope, never a prima donna. **** DWill. Fine that he regrets it but he doesn't get a pass.

Bow to Sloan? What are you talking about? Sloan was the coach.

Bruh, if you think DWill is the prima donna in that situation.

Sloan was stuck in the past where coaches called 100% of the plays.

Agree. Sloan is and was great but the last few years he did not change and it hurt us. I don’t love how Deron went about his protest, but if he voiced concerns and wasn’t heard then what else can he do. Deron was prickly and stubborn but I’m not sure prima donna is accurate at all... you know who else was prickly and stubborn? It starts with a J and ends with an erry Sloan.

**** that. DWill thought he was Lebron or something. He was dealing with Jerry ****ing Sloan. He takes ***** bigger than DWill.

You know what's way easier than apologizing? Not doing stupid **** in the first place.

It may be Yom Kippur tomorrow, but I don't know if I believe in atonement. Or forgiveness. I'm also not sure what exactly Williams did her to deserve forgiveness. Words are cheap.

You act like he killed Sloan's dog, and burned his house down. Lol swear you DWill haters just kiss Sloan's *** because he coached here for 20+ years. He did nothing more than that. Imagine him still coaching to this day.. some of you wouldn't have a problem with that.

Deron ran plays that executed better than Sloans plays. That's why they had beef.
