    Stone sounds like he prepared for this press conference 3 minutes before it started.

    Dude just said we have a great culture. Implied two coaches already in the presser. One of which is Udoka.

    Udoka is going to bang this guys wife and make him watch.

    They all know the goal of the season was to tank. Not much else to talk about.

    His drafts have been excellent and he has likely another top pick and mid-round. Large flexible cap space, picks he can trade, and opportunities for a new coach. I was happy with the tank and now let's see what happens when winning is the focus next season.

    Really? How about......

    The reports were that you were involved in practices and in film sessions, can you elaborate on that, and what type of situation would a GM feel it necessary to interject in practice directly to the team and not to the coach in private conversation afterwards?

    I think you have to wait a year (just one more) before judging Stone. Im pleased overall but we need to see the team take a couple collective steps.

    And how about...

    Since you were so involved in practices and film session, why didn't you demand that they bench KPJ and proclaim that Sengun is the team's true head honcho?

    (How did I do, SOFs? :D)

    I noticed when I heard on the radio
    He mentioned the NEXT Coach will get to pick his own staff
    Silas did not get that grace .. unless I'm mistaken

    I thinks Stone built that staff. . . . . To lose.

    He got several guys from his years in Charlotte, and Hollins. I think the only ones he didn't pick were Lucas and Abdelfattah.
