Is this the secret to success in the NBA?
A preview of tonight King’s game coming in a bit. Here’s my latest on HoopsVibe:
In this week’s weekly conversation with Larry H Miller, local sports jockey David Locke was talking to the Jazz owner about the trade that landed Shaq in Phoenix. As you may know, there was a lot of talk before the beginning of the season to swap Andrei Kirilenko for Shawn Marion.
Miller revealed that Steve Kerr offered the same players, Marcus Banks and Marion for Kirilenko. Miller’s reason for the Jazz declining the trade surprised me a bit. Obviously, having to take on Banks and his twenty million didn’t make sense for a team that already had three point guards.

Nice article.
As much as I hate to admit it (given my dislike for the long-tenured Sloan and Flop), it probably has a big part to play in the success. When you’re not worried about your job, you can coach. Now if only Sloan would learn that players are best when they’re not worried about being benched for every little mishap.
