re: I was a fool for wanting Monty fired.

Gentry Era has been a disaster thus far. Doesnt mean it cant or wont work, but a spade is a spade.
Yet, Monty wasn't and still isn't the answer.
The roster, regardless of coach, was never more than a 2nd round team, at best. That is the famous "treadmill of mediocrity." With a guy like Davis, that simply isn't good enough. KG 2.0 comp alright.
Monty does come out looking better than before. Take the defense; I felt it was mostly his schemes that needed fixing. Erman has a track record and reputation on that side. It's as bad as ever. To me, that points more towards personnel than coaching. To be clear, I'd still have Erman running a defense over Monty, but it certainly appears to be much deeper than Monty on that side. Would JVG or even Thibs have been able to right that ship?
I am curious about something you've said a few times, ATL. JVG wanted the roster overhauled. Where did you read/hear that? Any specifics beyond that?

It's only from his comments during the few games he covered. He said they weren't a playoff team and clearly wasn't impressed with the roster. He never went into specifics, but his famous "dumb gets you beat" quote makes me think Tyreke would have been at the top of his list of players to not retain. As has been well documented, Tyreke might be the player Demps is most invested in because of the ripple effects acquiring him created.

JVG stated that the roster was broken and would need work.
Gentry stated that the roster is great and Dell is a master roster builder.
Uncle Alroy gets hired. Quality echo chamber you've got there, Dell.
