I agree that this is a litmus test, which is yet another reason I'm hoping for Bud or Stack. Blatt could end up being great here, but the initial hiring won't tell us that anything has changed, given his relationship with Mills. Hiring Jax would be a very clear sign, however.
Stackhouse has a relationship with Perry from their time in Detroit. How is that different?
Fair point. I completely forgot about the Pistons connection.
But how close is their relationship? I'm legit asking. I know he worked in the front office for two of the years Stack played there before they traded him, but I haven't read much else suggesting that they have a close friendship or interacted all that much when both were in Detroit.
The Blatt/Mills tie seems to be stronger, at least based on their reported long-standing friendship since playing together at Princeton.
