If you guys haven't listened to the Michael Holley podcast with Jackie Mac, do yourself a favor and get on it! Such a great listen. Main things I remember Jackie saying...
- Cs were working up to the "11th hour" to bring back Horf, but said the 6ers offer was too good to refuse. Him and his agent were surprised and didn't think they had that kinda offer waiting for them. Had to take it. Said his family seemed to really like Boston, though.
- Kyrie was frustrated with everyone, even Brad And Danny. Not sure why he was frustrated with Danny. Also said the Hayward injury really bummed Kyrie out.
- Said Kyrie had great work ethic, but didn't understand team success. Said she thinks his style is to play team ball until the end of the game and then just take all the shots himself. Seemed to insinuate shes not sure how he is going to fare in Brooklyn with this kind of attitude, or if he's ever going to change.
- Kyrie tried being a leader, but didn't know what he was doing. Tried different approaches. Young guys didn't respond.
- Said Jaylen is... unpredictable? An enigma? Confusing?.I forgot the word she used, but specifically pointed to Morris as being annoyed with jb at times. Didn't say it in a way that he was a lr problem at all, though. Said hes a smart kid who really picked up his game in the 2nd half of the year. Thought he was 2nd best player behind Horf down the stretch.
- Young guys resented Haywards minutes. She said she thinks he's earned the right to work back into form; the kids didn't.
- Thinks Tatum had a down year, but also thinks he's as close to untouchable as you can get on the team. Didn't say that about Jaylen, but had high praise for him. Said he has the potential to be the better 2 way wing.
That's all I can remember. Some stuff we already knew, but just reaffirming. Regardless, give it a listen!!
