Why do they have to ask Deng what to do? Isn't that what the coaching staff is there for? Why can't they figure it out themselves? How do you know...
...key is the degree of acceptance these "millennial" youngsters will heed Johnson's advice and how much leeway he has without over-stepping on...
Nah...I don't think Johnson will be involved in the final personnel decisions. He'd assess the strengths and weaknesses of each player we acquire...
Of course, but you can't expect your mentor to make plays for you right? I'm sure they know he is not the go to guy now and never was in his...
Yes, his production has been underwhelming. There is no superstar or go-to player that Deng can hide behind to chip in. He had Butler in Chicago...
That is just rampant foolish speculation. Why would Kupchak be fired? Idiotic since we hired an "advisor"? Like a CEO being laid off because a...

Quick hits: - Vegas move could be murky with the Adelson pull out. - we play the Pats in Mexico City. MNF?
We were/are all aware of Johnson's flip-flopping of opinions the last decade... It could stop now that he is to be involved somewhat.
^I don't recall many sportswriters and analysts stating that the Deng signing was a bad move personnel wise the length of the contract...
^Jim Buss though he's kept quiet never really distinguished himself... Jesse Buss, Ryan West and our international scout from what I have seen...
I don't believe Johnson would be the last word in free agent signees or draft choices. He'll likely be more of a pitchman for the former and an...
