Horst pulled off the Dame trade and even had a nice pick up of Pat Bev at the deadline.
Not enough to fix the roster problems in time but a fine capstone.
Jon got Giannis to extend which is what mattered most. Giannis wanted a former player as a coach, and when Horst was denied Nick Nurse, Griffin (with Stotts as a babysitter) somehow became the compromise.
Doc vs Atkinson was probably viewed differently after the Grief catastrophe while Horst felt like he earned the ability to push back on Giannis.
Stands to reason ownership did not agree. And if Rivers has the cache to hold Giannis and Dame accountable while resetting the roster and style of play they’ll be right. We shall see.
