Yeah Friedman alluded to that and I suppose there's a reason he is on his 5th team. He might not be everyone's cup of tea.
But as you say, this team needs something different. Not only do they need guys that can play, but something about the make up of the team seemed less than ideal. Reading some of the post trade Hamilton trash talk, and I start to wonder if the problem was really a guy not fitting in or the team not being cohesive.
In any case, the unpopular guys were traded or released. The nice guy coach was turfed. Hoping to see a very motivated team this year. If Neal rubs some guys the wrong way, I hope it is put aside for the sake of winning.
