No matter how people feel about the quality of those people's skills or their replacements, the way things were handled do not make the organization look good.

He didn't trash Love. He said he doesn't think he's a guy you build around to win a championship, and that he'll have to adjust no no longer being "the guy." Which was 100% true.
How did he handle Arnie Kander? By not letting him stay on staff if he wanted to telecommute from Denver? A hard business to do that in.


He called Love out for not playing defense and being foul prone. He didn't need to say anything about Kevin Love as a player after he traded him. The rest of his predictions are fine, but calling out players for their play makes Taylor bitter towards a former employee.

The PR team throwing Arnie Kander in with the rest of the front office releases, when that really wasn't the case. Kander just wasn't retained after his deal was up, he wasn't released or fired. The PR team lumping Kander's choosing not to come back with rest of the releases is just dumb. When a company says that a employee was released, when he chose not to come back, reflects poorly on the organization. Especially, when Kander is widely respected as one of the best at his job.

The man had a golden opportunity and threw it away, he should be miserable for doing such a horrible job with a very young talented team. Maybe if Sam didn't act like a prick constantly with the media, never had his bizarre pedestrian rant and took accountability just once for the issues the team had I would feel sorry for how he was treated on the way out.
