    They still have to plug in development somewhere, really cant use the schedule as an excuse. Agree with you on the triangle 100%.

    The D-League is about developing guys into the role they will play at the NBA level. That's why the idea that Thanasis is why they dumper the staff is so crazy. His feel for the game is so poor that finding a role for him at the NBA level is tough.

    Understood, and I agree to an extent. This is though is they feel that Thanasis didnt develop because of them. I dont find that to be out of line either.
