I like the hire. Gonzaga has done some good things with player development. I wouldn't mind if he continued to work with Brandon Clarke either

Look at the Lakers - The kids have turned them into a disaster.
Look at the Colangelos. Jerry was a legend. A Don. Respected. Meanwhile Bryan gets caught making fake twitter accounts to talk smack about his own players.
And we all know what Sarver has done for us.
The irony is Jerry was great at the basketball side of being an owner but poor at the financial side of things which forced the sale to Sarver who is bad at the basketball side but fine financially. Suns can never seem to find the right mix with anything, look at the last two coaches watson was good with players but bad at coaching, Igor very smart coach but apparently struggled with player relationships.BobbieL wrote:LukasBMW wrote:It seems the offspring of successful NBA owners and businessmen always F things up.

Its because they didn't have to hustle and work hard to build a business is my guess. BWG - as a fellow Chargers fan - knows that Dean Spanos is an idiot. He has zero business sense. He is dense, obtuse. If he can make a poor business decision he will. He was gifted the team. He needed to be gifted likea Subway - that he had to manage, hire, fire, work, have some risk involved to have the gravitas to do the job. Thats how I feel about the Busses and Bryan Colangelo.
I think Nelson is a good trainer and was doing some innovative things back in the day.phnart wrote:You know, everyone lauded Aaron Nelson for years when we had some good veteran players who appreciated his skills. I'm not surprised he left, but he has been here forever and maybe he wanted a chance to see something different AND cash in a bit on his reputation working with people he likes? The other thing I'm willing to give the new regime a chance on is making a change and doing things right. Isn't it possible they have someone great in mind to bring in?
And no, I haven't drank any koolaid. I'm personally just tired of being so negative about this team. I'm going to give them a chance to get things going in the right direction. Hopefully that means bringing in someone who knows their way around a training table.

But I also think Nash elevated Nelson's rep some and Steve probably deserved more of that credit personally because he was a head of the curve personally with diet, rest, and training.
