Kevin McHale, Royal Jelly Master? David Thorpe's theory of Player Development

The Squid Bee is leaving the hive.

Oh god. Did he really type that?

 

He's like a teenage girl.

Dude needs to disconnect from internet pronto.

 

yes, clutch asked him if it was a new vid or just an edit, twill replied it was a huge edit, but that he'd continue to be a big cheerleader..

 

Sounds like he's going to get traded soon, then. Maybe the Rockets have something brewing.

 

How much does the video and marketing department talk with Morey and scouts about upcoming moves?

My guess is not at all.

They've just seen TWill's minutes dwindle and are doing their job of keeping the video up to date.

 

And by the way, these are professional players.

To a large extent, they develop themselves.

Do we really credit Adelman for Lowry's development? I don't. I think he would have developed no mater where he was.

 

Shrinking the video rotation.

 

I don't really see a need for editing out a player unless they had reason to think he wouldn't be on the team in the near future.

 

I think they adjust the videos when told....I doubt they would simply take him out as he is still on the team and one injury away from playing.

Agreed.

Did Hakeem thank Rudy for making him GOAT!?

rhetorical question, obviously no.

 

Well there isn't really a need unless they just feel like being pro-active about it. I think it's just a simple case of the marketing group doing more work for whatever reason.

I mean the risk of leaks is too much to go around telling everyone in the organization about pending moves.

 

it another example of Murry treating players like assets. TWILL is butt hurt, he no play hard now.

 

The business side does their own thing. The video is not run by Morey. The marketing dept is probably dying to get Parsons tea-bagging of McGee in there. And surely there is new Dalembert footage, too. Parsons and Dalembert most likely were not in the opening day footage. They have a set amount of minutes (like one minute, no)...like Carl Herrera says, they are just changing the rotation in the vid to match the new starters, et al.

 

We need the Parsons tea-bag and Dalembert running out of the bathroom footage.

 

OK, I didn't consider that there's a time limit which could maybe force other players out.

Did the video used to have Terrence Williams but not Chandler Parsons? If so, then I think its understandable that they'd take him out to make room for the active player.

 

I am not sure that HP's interpetation is correct, General Manager usually means they run the entire show.

Dalembert is probably going to get denied low fives now at the introductions...teammates won't trust whether he just ran out of the bathroom or not.

 

Seems to me that TWILL is concerned with everything except playing basketball. Morey spent a 1st round pick for him, I am sure that if they had any confidence in him he would be playing.

He is a very talented player, but there is something not right about his game.
