Sounds like it was an upper management decision to let go of him.
But I'm sure in light of the Scalabrine incident, Jackson is going to get a lot of heat.
It's also too bad that all of their other picks didn't pan out like they thought they would. Then they could argue that they'd need the cap space to resign em too.
Warriors got a steal with Curry's extension
4 years $44 mil. All of this was before he blew up that season and in the playoffs. If the Warriors waited until after that season, he'd have gotten max offers for sure.
Leaked info to the media? Just a wild shot in the dark.
He's reminds me of Brandon Jennings. Analysts were quick to praise Jennings and call him the second coming of Allen Iverson after a breakout rookie season and guiding the Bucks to the playoffs, but gradually exposed himself as an inefficient high volume shooter who''s allergic to passing. I think we are seeing the same thing unfold with Kyrie. I don't think he's worth the max based on basketball reasons alone and for the simple fact that he can't stay healthy. But Cleveland is desperate for a star, so it's likely they will overpay.
They defended him the right way. He wants them to put a 5'11" guy on him so he can score 60?
