I am not from Cincinnati. One of the things that I liked about this team was the way that Marvin and Mike Brown showed extreme grace and patience in working with 2nd,3rd, 4th chance players. Mike Brown's dwarf-like loyalty was attractive yet a big fault in terms of retaining the wrong people and overpaying mediocre players. Relationally I think you want to work for a FO like that, but in terms of productiveness it shoots them in the foot.
So I guess the question is, if we are looking for more production and if we have gotten over HANGING ON HARD to everyone..... could Wyatt be given a chance to turn it around or get cut loose? Seems like this new FO mentality is willing to cut non-producers like Trae Waynes, Michael Jordan.
