I read this on the Nene Again thread what Doc said Red told him. Like how you don't trade the player, you try to solve the problem, this is a good approach to take. This explains why Bird wasn't an idiot and parted his best players after the suspensions. he just had a pissed off talk with the team and now they're better behaved. Same thing when Danny made the move to get Ricky. He explained to him that the old behavior in Cleveland wouldn't be tollerated so even though Danny knew Ricky was a previous cancer, he decided to take him on and work with him and it surely paid off. Teams like Utah dont take this approach. Utah just rids anyone whos a cancer and it will hurt them losing Snyder in the long run I feel. Now Rasheed Wallace still gets technical fouls like he used to but Joe D is a smart gm and he got him for a good deal and he also looks at the fact that hes needed for them to make a run. This is why I encourage a Drew Gooden option if it comes our way like lets say if Danny parts with Scala and one of our pgs not naming West but possibly Justin Reed as an option like in a 3 way trade and gets Gooden from the cavs and a pick from another team in a 3 way. Gooden is also an example of a player who has been criticised for his attitude. Danny could change that like he did with Ricky if he comes here.
