Magicman28 295 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 Strange that Skiles then promptly sat both of them on the bench and gave them both the least minutes of their respective careers. Because they sucked and wasn't doing any better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 I'm saying Skiles isn't to blame for us not getting a pick. I think it's likely Skiles suggested getting them, but doubtful he demanded Rob get his guys, at all cost, and then made sure Rob didn't even ask for a pick. No. I'm saying it's heavily reported Skiles wanted to quit in late January. They had a talk. Skiles expressed dissatisfaction with Payton. Hennigan says "I'm not trading Payton but let's see if i can get some guys you're comfortable with" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Jaudon 221 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 Are you new here? He bypassed operations and went straight to devos to lobby for the job. Then it was reported that martins pushed for him. This was so obvious at the time rob had to field questions at the introductory press conference denying it Former employee contacts people he knows in the company about current job opening. People send hiring manager, alone, to meet with former employee. Former employee gets job after interview. Clearly they forced him on Rob. I mean, the dots can't be connected any other way.

magicdoc1 261 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 I believe he even went to ownership to have Henny fired and was stopped. He was not happy with Henny decision to keep Payton as our main PG. He wanted to control team decisions on player personnel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hennigan says "I'm not trading Payton but let's see if i can get some guys you're comfortable with" That's fine. I agree all that sounds probable. But labeling it an appeasement move ignores the fact that if we'd gotten a pick, the move would not have been bad at all, considering we dumped Harris' not great contract without taking long term commitments. Essentially, it seems Skiles may have suggested a perfectly reasonable deal which Rob *****ed up by not asking for a pick, and you're somehow throwing shade on Skiles for that.

Justin Jaudon 221 Report post Posted February 22, 2017 Surprised lakers were able to get a first for Lou. Considering that first is from the rockets, a contending team, not really. Lou should add a lot to Houston as a scorer, give them more of a chance to advance in the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He still did it to please his new coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
