Swing, please let this go. Not saying it is all your fault, but please just drop this argument.SwingMan wrote:Try being less of a smartass. I never asserted that I was some omnipotent know-it-all - I just said that Stein was talking out of his ass here. But, IMO, it was only a matter of time - if he didn't do it, someone else would've.
And carey, you've no leg to stand on when talking about being butthurt about someone calling you out, so cork it - you're not helping anyone or anything.
Now - where's some confirmation of Stein's assertion?
Well, we don't have very many guys that aren't young. And I would think the oldest guys (Tyson & PJ) will likely be gone by next year. Other than that, Weems and Tele are the only guys born before 89.Dan H wrote:If Mike could commit to playing young guys I'd be interested to see what happened.

Like I said, it was only a matter of time - if it wasn't Stein, it'd be someone else.ShelC wrote:I don't think we'll get more confirmation. Stein's got legit connections and has proven to be in tune with the organization so that's probably as solid info as you'll get. But that's what it always is from these guys, hearsay and speculation. I don't think he, nor most in his position, would just make stuff up without some sort of legitimacy.

And therein lies exactly why I don't want to see D'Antoni anywhere near this team. That and the fact that neither Bledsoe or Knight can run P&R worth a tinker's damn.....Cap wrote:Putting the younglings out on the court is one thing. But we need a coach who will do everything possible to help them become the best players they can be. Mike D doesn't have a history of doing that.
Mike played the young guys in the 2003-2004 campaign after we shipped off Marbury. I'll be honest and say I'd be intrigued to see how the players would respond.Dan H wrote:If Mike could commit to playing young guys I'd be interested to see what happened.

You just sent out the JustWinBaby bat signal!EDC wrote:That isn't even mentioning how he quit on this team and city in the middle of a winnable playoff series vs the Spurs. He checked out mid series and then so did the players. It is unforgivable.
He's at ASFN, why doesn't he post here? Isn't Wormwood on RealGM too?Superbone wrote:You just sent out the JustWinBaby bat signal!EDC wrote:That isn't even mentioning how he quit on this team and city in the middle of a winnable playoff series vs the Spurs.

Don't forget that the ball finds the energy. Or something like that.ShelC wrote:I'll take $1mil to stand on the sidelines, clap my hands and tell the guys that we gotta play faster and run harder.
Remember when that was the strategy in timeouts against the Spurs in the 4th qtr? I'll take an Xs and Os guy who can adjust and make adjustments to the opposing team's adjustments.

That and something along the lines of "No worries, they're gonna cool off, etc etc."ShelC wrote:I'll take $1mil to stand on the sidelines, clap my hands and tell the guys that we gotta play faster and run harder.
