Well once we're eliminated Phil should have Woody play the D Leaguers as much as possible to see if any are worth keeping for next season
This is a process that should have started like after the first 40gms. We should have quietly brought Phil on as an advisor/scout back when they first touched down. Then hired him in the summer to have the position that he has now. You don't wait until 3-4gms left of a season or 20 for the matter who are playing under "Fear Factor and/or Small Sample Size" to evaluate.
We effed up the last time doing this when we hired Donnie Walsh almost around the same time to eval. He didn't quite have a good feel under such a small sample of games. So what did he do during the off-season he wanted to bring everyone back and give them a clean slate.
What would Murray, Aldrich, Tyler show last 3gms that would tilt the scales in their favor of keeping them? I think we already know what we have in them and where their place is, if at all on this team. Had we done what I suggested, we could have already started our model of player profiling. Combing the league nationally and abroad.... therefore giving ourselves a leg up in the off-season where we very well may have to do likewise to fill out this team. Of course we do everything in bassackwards fashon causing a trickle down setback as time goes by.
If we really wanted to make the playoffs, we should have made the trades to do so....knowing Phil was coming aboard and let him figure out how to tweak things in the off-season.
If rumored reports are true Phil was somewhat advising the team this season(as alluded to his type of role before official hire) and he was behind
rebuffing some of these trades primarily because of his affinity with Shumpert and concern over pick, then I'm officially uncontrollable shaky nervous in confidence Phil will turn this
around. When looking at the Kyle Lowry trade the pick they wanted wasn't until 2018.....ummmm that pick was totally inconsequential with our desire to be very relevant well before that time.
We could have made other trades too, like Beno for Jordan Hamilton(who is just as good as any other young talent we have on our team). So where was Phil on this eff up....or
the Faried rumors or the Andre Miller rumors...so Phil was MIA on those but counseled heavily on the Raptor and Clippers/OKC deals?
You see from what I posted.... even with Phil here we have so many issues and hurdles to clear it's not funny.
