Ian Thompsen: C’s are “self-obssessed”

[pokeKingCurtis]

Something to consider: simply inserting a pass first point guard of let’s say Chris Paul’s caliber may not provide the expected results. There is a good chance that Tatum cannot produce at his current level in that system.

If we’re talking about the single most dream scenario that would push this team into a serious title contender, IMO it’s having Phil Jackson or Pop coach the team. Instead of trying to mold our stars into what worked for other champions, we should try to architect a system that works for their talents. I think someone like Phil or Pop would be able to do that correctly. I don’t believe that Ime has that kind of experience or commands that level of respect from the team to be able to pull that off.

Phil jackson? The guy who expect people to work under the single system he has used over his career? You believe he will "architect" a system to fit his players?

He drafted Ntilikina to run the triangle too didn't he

I never thought I’d say it but I’d be fine with Brad sending Tatum on his way.  There’s nothing that says “leader” about a guy who doesn’t try to get his teammates involved and constantly dribbles away 15 sec of every shot clock only to take a poor percentage shot or make a poor pass.  The hero ball mentality has worn out it’s welcome.
