    You’re just envious of her having three pairs of shoes.

    That is the philosophy we are living now while many here are saying the philosophy should also entail holding the other team to fewer than you score.

    Some players swing one way, some the other and the rare unicorn does both.

    It would appear that some of our problems are from bringing in guys of the hold persuasion and expecting them do hold just as well in an out score’em world.

    You would really hope she's here to clean Olshey's mess. To check, report and fire stuff. If she's Olshey's signing, that means Becky going full time in Spurs next season and he couldn't recruit her.
    As for strategy, GM had some "cake" strategy already, so maybe, maybe, hopefully, she come from owners.

    The “cake” strategy was Pritchard’s. Olshey overhauls the roster every year.

    Anyway, he said he had some and that's why I hope this signing is from Jody.

    Overhaul is a drastic overstatement. Olshey brings in players around that flawed back court of Dame and CJ every year and for the past four around the Dame/CJ/Nurk combo. An overhaul would be making a decision between one of the undersized, bad defense, score first, ball dominant guards and build a team around them and whoever you get in return for the other.

    He has completely overhauled the roster around the core season after season. Overhaul means remake or revise. You're thinking of a rebuild.

    Yeah, so if we haven't even won a game in the conference finals... maybe we don't have a contending core? If a rebuild means being open to all ideas around a single player then yeah, that's what I'm thinking of. I want Dame here for his career if he wants to be here so for me, unlike Olshey, he's the only untouchable piece and the only player we need to worry about building around. If I saw a Scottie Pippen level player on the team then I'd want us to make a couple of players untouchable... but I don't.
