He, and yes Chia, got a good year out of the roster they had. He wanted to trade more guys to rid the culture of losing, but Hall was the only one with value and even then it was tough to find a player that didn't have an NmC.
And after a couple seasons, the longer term problems created by Lowe's legacy caught up with the both of them for talent cap space, leadship and culture. Nevermind the fact that when they start losing the year after the playoffs, that same Lowe is sending down "suggestions" for the coach and GM, through his minions and approved by the owner.
He sounds like a good solid guy and decent coach, glad to be out of the nightmare and can really take the sad sack Kings only up.
