Thibs and his staff deserves a ton of credit for the development of Deuce and Hartenstein. Deuce has pretty much replaced most of what we lose in IQ and Hartenstein has turned himself into a legit two-way starting Center. The improvement of both of them is a kudos to them and the coaching staff.
So great to have Ewing back in the building. Received a much deserved standing ovation. Wished he was around more often. Surely they can give him one of those consulting jobs like he has, right? Ewing should be here.
We can just go on loving Ewing as he is. Same for Melo and Spree who show up. Ewing, like Willis Reed were greats and good enough coaches but never accomplished greatness as they did on the court.
If we lose iHart to him getting crazy good money elsewhere there should be some players chomping at the bit to come here on reasonable deals and embrace our development culture. Its getting players paid!!! Not all players can or will excel. Its not automatic. Ask Cam Reddish and s few others.
Same thing in Miami. They do good work there and players do move on to get paid. We are getting a good rep that way.
