developing Barton...yes of course...he didn't crack the regular rotation but we developed him and Denver gave him a job after we drafted him..they didn't waive him after the trade....surprised the dunk contest didn't end his career but I like Will. Dame didn't want to trade Will...that's that narrative ..
It's kind of ridiculous the way some are looking at it?
There is no "hidden shit" in it, it's basic common sense that RoCo wouldn't completely throw his coach under the bus. I'm not saying he's lying, I'm saying he'll say that no matter what. I don't know how that's even debateable.
Portland didn't really win games they shouldn't have won without Nurkic and C.J. They had an extremely easy schedule during that stretch. They had a tough final 15 games set up for them but ever top 10 team they've played has had a star (or multiple stars) out. That's why I like to base my evaluation of the coach based on what happens on the basketball court, instead of basing it off of a sheet of paper.
You're projecting he's sugar coating and I'm saying he's being honest about Stotts....you might actually consider that he likes his coach even though you don't like his coach.
I'm not projecting anything other than the obvious which is that he wouldn't throw Stotts under the bus.
which would be true if he's being honest so you agree with me...
No. If he thought it was a Stotts issue do you think he'd say it publically?
I heard what he said and it wasn't matter of fact...it was a solid vote of confidence....the politics just fuel false speculations....I believe he was being honest....
