Well, what if Steve Nash had decided to stay in Dallas. Where would Pheonix's plan be then after they basically gave away Marbury? My point is that you can have a plan, but if things don't go as expected, your plan is going to fail and you are going to look like you had no plan at all. IT had a plan and took risks on Curry, Q, and Marbury. So far the plan has not worked and because of that, you conclude there was no plan. What if LB had not been trying to sabotage the season? What if Curry had been in shape and improved the fundamentals of his game? What if Q's back did not give him problems last year and his brother was not killed? If those things happen, we would have an entirely different view of this team and more people would be saying that IT's plan is paying some dividends.
If nash stayed then they are big under the cap, and who knows what plan b might have been. They might have done someting even smarter for all we know!
Its easy to look backwards, but I preach thru the years to have a plan. Even when hiring coaches, don't hire the name, hire the fit. And if your going to hire the name, then make it fit!
Good teams need to get buy injurys. Great teams get lucky. WE were neither.
Q's did not make or break this team last year. Nor was it Larry, it was a dysfunctional planning process that is chasing its tale.
WE have been doing this for about 28 years! Enough!
