LOL.. Monson: "What does that mean, senior basketball advisor?" Sloan: "I don't know, but I'm glad Greg stopped jackpotting around and finally gave me a &*^%$# title. Now I can get paid for all the #!%^&$# work I've been doing. I ain't no %^&$#@* volunteer!"

Why do they need a joint presser? It seems like this is kind of a minor job for Jerry and they already announced it.
 
Funny, I remember Ty saying that a yearish ago he asked Sloan for help and Sloan wouldn't do it, wanting him to cut his own teeth. Sounds like Corbin decided to go over his head a bit...

Really? I remembered Ty saying he called Sloan up every now and then to run things pass him, this was when Ty recently retired.

We're all human. I think Sloan was deeply wounded when KOC and Greg didn't back him up when Deron rebelled. And then he likely had a "told you so" moment when KOC turned around and traded Williams right after. Probably took Jerry - and the Jazz FO - a year before all those bad feelings started to fade. In the meantime, Sloan has had a chance to kick the tires a bit and see that every team has its problems. In 2 years, he's probably gone from wanting to coach again to realizing he maybe just wants to be involved, but not deal with all the travel and bs. This is a perfect position for him. If the team succeeds, Sloan will get credit as the "guru" who has helped Ty. If the Jazz don't, we'll all call for Ty's head and call Corbin a lousy coach.
 
Sloan says we all knew Deron Williams was going to leave and what he did "pushed it along".


Is he saying him leaving because of DWill finally made the Jazz see they needed to trade him?
 
Sloan keeps talking about patience and how young Favors and Kanter hare. Sounds like he is chastising the media and fans.

I think he's preparing us for a 25-win season in which we'll see glimpses of brilliance from Kanter and Favors, but also games in which they disappear and make "rookie" mistakes. They won't have the consistency you expect from more seasoned players. Now had they both started last year...well, they'd be much further along. But that's an argument for one of the Ty threads.

Then he isn't listening to the fans. WE WANT TO BE PATIENT. Forcing Al and Millsap and Mo down our throats aren't saying the Jazz want to be patient.

For the last three years, most fans would have been fine going young and being patient.
