One of the overriding themes of the season was the inability of guard Michael Redd and Krystkowiak to get on the same page, something that Redd addressed after the game in Minnesota.
"There wasn't a huge chemistry there, obviously," Redd said. "But I'm professional and he was professional about it, and we had a professional working relationship. But it was nothing other than that. I can get along with anybody. I don't really have a problem with anybody, not even him. We just came to work together.
"I'm not a guy that's going to try and override a coach's opinion. He's the coach and it's not my nature to question his decisions. I didn't do it behind the scenes and I still won't do it because I respect his position as our coach. I just want to be coachable. I think one of the worst things you can do is get so arrogant, get so high to where you can't be coached. That's how I looked at it."
I think that it is bad that Redd just can't come out and state the obvious until after the coach/previous coaches get canned. At least even though he didn't click with LK (for numerous reasons) he tried to adapt to his style, which I respect out of a player.
Also isn't our "best player" supposed to be on the same page with the coach and lead from the front of the line, and not just "get along"? This is what pisses me off about Redd. He is too afraid to make his honest opinion known about the team and thus he will never be a true leader. He is too nice of a guy.
Reading between the lines I get from this that he just goes threw the motions unless pushed from coaches, avoids making comments so it would appear that nothing is the matter when that isn't how he truly feels.
I think that it was obvious to Redd that LK was given control to develop a new style of offense (involving Bogut who he was coaching with as a Big mans coach and seemed to have chemistry with) and also for getting the team to play any defense whatsoever. Obviously LK/the players failed this year on the defense side, but if others on the team like Redd just "showed up to work together" with Krystowiak then no wonder why we didn't do better than we did.
It is commendable for Redd to bite his tongue and not make a scene "a la Mo Williams", but it is also disheartening to hear him talk with so little emotion or passion for the game.
I do think that if we get someone in here like Rick Carlisle that both Redd and Bogut share mutual respect for, and would go to bat for the coach no matter what, we will have success.
Just thought this article from the JS was interesting since Michael rarely addresses issues like this and this is obviously something he's been holding inside for awhile. He really needs to open up more and be a better leader next year.
We need to get Carlisle and have Redd and Bogut become the new Reggie Miller/ Jermaine O'Neal.
