I don't know if it's because I'm in an emotionally vulnerable state thanks to the mess we witnessed over the past few months, but I'm somewhat relieved that both Casey and Ujiri, at the very least, were able to identify the issues that plague this team.
But whether the proper moves/changes are made to address these issues, is anyone's guess.

I had people here telling me "its too late to change what was drilled in all season" but zach lowe seems to agree with me, better to try and adjust on the fly and fail then stick with what's guaranteed to fail.
Casey is either too dumb or too stubborn to admit his genius schemes are easily exploitable in todays nba with the athleticism and stretch shooting. It only worked to beat miami because they had shitty pgs, wade didn't shoot 3s and bosh wasn't a stretch 4 yet at the time.
It's also really weird to hear him echo so many of the observations and criticisms made on these message boards by a bunch of stupid fans who can't say sht about basketball because we're not NBA coaches. Such an extreme coincidence that our idiotic and baseless ramblings happened to be the exact same things the professional coach stated in his exit view.

Contrition is one of the most effective forms of damage control. It's much harder to be angry at someone who says they're sorry and they understand your concerns.
There is a really effective media strategy in place, and it started with Masai massaging expectations downwards a few weeks ago, and was bookended by the positive news about the D-League approval.
It's sort of amazing to me that people came away from the Masai exit interview so sanguine given that he said absolutely nothing of substance. Hopefully we get a chance to judge the front office based on actual actions this summer instead of a few well-meant mea culpas.

In the business world at least "exit interviews" are typically done when someone leaves the organization. Whether leaving for another position or leaving because they have been dismissed with pay / business has restructured.
I sincerely hope this is that type of exit interview where DC is concerned. Valuable information could be garnered in the short run, but ultimately he ought to be fired with pay.
