But his inability to develop a big picture plan was always his downfall, so he had to go.

I really wonder how much negative influence/pressure there was from above, pushing BC more towards 'win now'? I'm quite happy with MU, but I'm always intrigued by the behind-the-scenes dynamic between ownership and management.
But even after the purchase, last year the new ownership approved the Gay trade, which was all BC, so he gets at least some blame for the state of the team when he departed.
Developing a plan involves sticking to it. That's the development part. Player development doesn't happen at the draft, it happens over the course of years. Same goes for plans. As for the 'win now' stuff, even the year where he himself admitted he tried to tank he screwed that up too by winning too much, so I can't place all the blame on ownership (some, definitely though).

Patterson has to come back he and Vasquez are the most important guys of the second unit, Fields would be great over Salmons if he could score.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

GLF wrote: View PostFields can score he just can't shoot. Look at the game where he started recently. I think they should think about playing Fields because Salmons isn't scoring anymore either. At least Fields can finish at the basket and can slash. He also moves well without the ball. If Salmons isn't hitting his three or that mid range shot he's pretty worthless on offense."Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

Hope you're wrong.

It's likely because he generally plays with the bench unit, which crushes the opposition every time theyre on the court... but still, must mean somethingI relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

GLF wrote: View PostWell he's a smart player and for his age is a pretty good defender. He also is somebody who can handle the ball and more often than not make smart decisions so that might be why. He also doesn't let missing shots affect the rest of his game. So he isn't horrendous I just think Fields can do those things and more even without a shot right now.

It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

I guess for the most part Salmons plays good defense arguable as good as Fields? debatable scouts know Fields is shooting ridiculously low percentages right now and besides slashing you can cheat on him defensively. Salmons however still should be able to hit wide open looks regardless of how hes shooting at the moment and he still must be covered behind the arc so I guess Casey plays him over Fields knowing this?
My point is Salmons is likely gone after this season Fields we still have into next season its time we get something from all that money we are giving him and either Ujiri trades him as an expiring or we resign after next season dirt cheap cause at this point he may be out of the league if he still cant hit open shots remaining a role player in toronto.
