Chauncey has been; prior to last night, the trio of Ant-Ayton-Grant was taking 50% of Portland's shots
We could have Phil Jackson/Pop and Red on our bench and this team ain’t winning. But I guess if you have to place the blame, place it. Where are the, “Anybody is better than Stotts” crew?
Not sure whats Stotts has to do with this. If Phil Jackson or Pop couldn't coach this team better, sure as hell Stotts couldn't.
But not always? And it's just the whims of the universe? So talent is just luck? Are you some kind of Buddhist?
Then why does this franchise hold onto a big 3 earning over 90 million? Why did this team trade away two lottery picks? If your right the teams own actions don't align with its own goals. That's why this team has had a continuous strategic failure that has been going on basically since Olshey was fired. Maybe we give them a pass until Lillard asked out, but it's been over a year since he was traded with the same flawed roster designs, and no end in sight. The only answer that explains all these actions is incompetent management.
wanting a new coach isnt about wanting to win more games this year, its about giving the young guys the best development and environment possible. i dont think its smart to keep chauncey because "we want to lose anyway'. There are teams that lose - a lot - with excellent coaches who know their role is to develop and prepare. They play hard, smart, in the right roles, positions, they know what to do, they are running an offense that is going to eventually be what they run when they are older/better, etc.
