Naw.
He said he will someday sign a 1 day. He won't for a whole year.

Yeah he doesn’t need the money. Hes in a different tier.
Other than the one day jersey retirement, I can see him occasionally coming here for the playoffs, as a guest commentator.
He’s staying put in Philly though, that’s his family home.

Coach I don't see it. Tv personality / talking head / actor most likely.

I would love him mentoring Scottie and Shead.

Former players don't become coaches for the money. They do it because they still love the game and want to continue being part of it.

He’s got little kids tho. If he does become an eventual coach, my guess is that he wants to take a couple of years to have Karter/Kameron start college.

He said next year will be his last year and he wants to play for Philly.
Once he is done he will sign a 1 day contract here and retire.

Do you think Garrett Temple will sign a one day contract one day?

If we are serious in trying for the playoffs next year, we need to bring in a vet who will sign for a vet min and can actually play meaningful minutes and help mentor the young guys. Unfortunately Lowry is pretty much cooked. Looking at guys like Brogdan, Seth Curry, Exum, Delon Wright etc.

He did say he would want to play one more year and it's hopefully in Philly. I would prefer Kyle over Temple for the vet min.

Crazy that Delon is on his 10th team, and TOR is the onyl franchise he has played more than 1 season for. He was on WAS for two seasons, but was traded halfway through his 2nd year there.
Feels like a guy who never reached his potential. I thought he was going to be a very nice backup PG for teams, but teams kept spitting him out

Delon is a good back up point guard but he's never really improved or expanded his game following his 2nd season with us.
He's a guy you can depend on to be a back up point guard, he knows how to run a team, he's low turnover, he's a good spot up 3 pointer, and a good defender. He never really developed a mid-range game, he's not great at getting to the basket, not a great pick and roll player, and can't shoot off the dribble.
So he's a guy that kept getting thrown in as a trade piece, but he's a good player and has had a pretty long career.
I'd compare to him guys like Cory Joseph, Dennis Schroeder, Rozier, Cam Payne etc.
Joseph - Spent his first few years in a great San Antonio system, then went to us for a couple years, got traded to Indiana, got traded to Sacramento, traded to Detroit, then Golden State and now on Orlando.
Schroeder - also been on a bunch of teams.
