Hardy is basically Tyrone Corbin all over again when it comes to forcing vets into the rotation and not prioritizing the rebuild. The only thing you can do is trade guys away so you force his hand.

Bryon Russell started 48 games as a rookie on a vet Jazz team. Shandon Anderson was the primary backup at shooting guard. Deron Williams started 47 games that season after he learned Sloan's offense. The problem was that the Jazz always drafted at the back end of the draft so they very rarely had strong rookies.
It's a shame Bolmaro doesn't have any offensive game at all, he could be a decent player if he did.

I think it might have been a bad decision not to pick up his option.
He is pretty tragic as a scorer on all levels, but he has at least has the defensive talent and passing/handling ability to be interesting.
Guys are definitely not getting consistent minutes and to say otherwise is stupid. Simone and NAW were completely glued to the bench before injuries and Ochai, Dok and Bolmaro have gotten almost no minutes. Then you have THT getting really inconsistent minutes as well. Your love affair with Hardy is really strange. The guy makes so many bonehead decisions it is crazy.
He made a couple of those skip passes early then he tried it again in a super predictable way where he threw it at like half-speed.
NAW can be really good, but he also has a lot of brain fart moments.
THT could be really good, but he likes playing the game in hard mode like style adds extra points.
And yeah, Will Hardy has taken a pretty low talent team and made them good, so I do think he deserves a love affair. He's really ****ing good at this coaching thing. He's not perfect, but I've like his minutes distribution style (and I dont always agree with it).
You just love talkng out of your butt don't you. When trying to develop guys free minutes are definitely good minutes because they need to play through growing pains. Also unless you are blind you can see that we have a crazy minutes crunch when healthy and there aren't any minutes for most of the youngsters. Two of Conley, Clarkson and Beasley have to go if we are going to find consistent minutes for younger guys. It is that simple.

I strongly disagree, unless he asks to be released so he can go to a bigger market. He's going to be a great coach for years to come. What he's accomplished in a short time is astounding.
It was only a low talent team by your terrible talent judgement. In reality it was a team loaded with solid players but lacked high end talent.

Yes really. It ignores all the other coaching decisions that put them in a game they should by all rights have lost by 20.
Why does THT insist on shooting so many threes and why does Hardy let him?
He’s 18/73 on the year from 3 and has made 4 of his last 25 attempts. Dude is a ****ing atrocious shooter. It’s honestly disgusting.

Gay's percentage can't be any better, which is also a head scratcher. And he can't even play defense. Why the hell use him
