"WELL IT WAS A TOUGH WEEK FOR THE GUYS ACCLIMATING WINS AND LOSSES WISE BUT ALSO SOME VERY POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS WITH JARED MOVING TO A MORE BALL IN HIS HANDS ROLE SHOWING OFF THE ELITE SCORER HE IS

AND YES OBVIOUSLY HE WILL BE OUR NOMINEE FOR THE WORLD ALL STAR GAME

IF HE WONT GET THE LOVE HE DESERVES FROM THE LEAGUE WELL MAKE SURE HE GETS THE ACCOLADES AND SPOTLIGHT HE DESERVES SOMEHOW

AS FAR AS WHAT THE BOSS MAN SAID IF THE LEAGUES GONNA LOOK DOWN AT US LIKE WERE THE PIECES OF CRAP ON THEIR SHOE THEN WE HAVE TO BE UNDENIABLE AND STICK IN THE CRACKS OF THEIR SOLES WHERE THEY CANT GET RID OF US AND THEYRE FORCED TO ACKNOWLEDGE WERE THAT UNPLEASANT PROBLEM THEYRE GONNA JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH

OBVIOUSLY THE WINS AND LOSSES ASPECT OF THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THE BIG DOG WANTS IT PISSES ME OFF TO BE LOSING GAMES BUT AT THE SAME TIME AS HIGH AS OUR EXPECTATIONS ARE I HAVE COMPLETE CONFIDENCE IN OUR PROCESS OF FINDING WHAT WORKS AND DEVELOPING OUR YOUNG STARS AND IM NOT GONNA TRY TO TAKE ANY SHORTCUTS AS TEMPTING AS IT IS THAT SABOTAGE US FROM THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF BEING A CHAMPIONSHIP SQUAD"

[GM Lucas]

"Big Boss man is not happy, I heard he may file a lawsuit against the league, Ouch! Anyway, Jared will do great in the world all-star, he will be facing teams he already played against. But now we focus on this week. I heard down the grapevine Black Rock may be looking to make some moves. There is even word of potential sale after the tragedy. Keep your ears open on that"

[GM Yount]

"WILL DO

THE BIG DOG WASNT REALLY LOOKING INTO THEM OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE TRAGEDY THEY AND OUR LEAGUE WENT THROUGH BUT IF THEYRE GOING TO BE MAKING THE MOVES REGARDLESS ILL MAKE SURE TO EXPLORE ALL AVENUES

I KNOW YOU COACH I GM BUT ARE WE IN AGREEMENT THAT AS FAR AS NEEDS WEVE GOT A CRAPLOAD OF DEPTH AND TALENT IN THE BACKCOURT BUT ARE THIN IN THE FRONTCOURT WHETHER THATS ANOTHER HIGH LEVEL TRUE BIG OR AN ELITE SCORING FORWARD NOW THAT JAREDS MOVED INTO A BALL HANDLING ROLE"

[GM Lucas]

"Glad you brought that up because I have an idea. We can have Anderson bring it down, create plays and then after he brings it up and passes it, lean in on playing under the board on offense and defense, of course, until we get a big guy, or just commit to small ball"

[GM Yount]

"YOU MEAN LIKE HAVE EVERYONE GO HARD CRASHING THE GLASS FOR REBOUNDS"

[GM Lucas]

"Let me clarify what I am saying, we have a 7'3 monster in the middle and he's our hammer. If we want versatility down low, I can have Anderson control the point situation and after he gets it in to the rotation as we set our plays he would slide into the role of small forward giving us 3 strong players down low crashing the board. With this I can make sure Phoenix and Hemphill continue to move the ball around. This way we got two solid defenders protecting against any outlet passes while also having them be able to reset the play if there isn't a shot down low. We don't want everyone crashing the boards. Darden, Rochefort and Anderson can clean it up themselves. I only speak of another big man to not have to slide Anderson down low and wear him down, but for right now this is what we have and I'm sure he's up for the task."

[GM Yount]

"OH OKAY YES THAT MAKES SENSE LETS DO THAT"

[GM Yount]

1. We 8 weeks in, are you happy with the way your team is playing.

"HI ITS THE BIG DOG

IM HAPPY WITH ASPECTS NOT SO HAPPY WITH OTHERS

IM NOT GOING TO BLAME ANY PLAYERS FOR IT BUT REALISTICALLY I ACQUIRED A TON OF YOUNG TALENT ON THE ROSTER TO START THE SEASON AND HAD A LOT OF GUYS WITH SIMILAR PROFILES BATTLING FOR SPOTS AND TRYING TO FIND THE BEST WAY TO UTILiZE THEM

IM NOT HAPPY WITH OUR RECORD BUT IM HAPPY WITH WHAT WERE CAPABLE OF AND THE CORE WE HAVE IN PLACE AND IM VERY HAPPY WITH HOW JARED ANDERSON IS PLAYING SINCE HES GOTTEN IN THE BACKCOURT"

2. We have seen some trades turn things around for some teams, do you see yourselves as buyers, sellers or staying pat as we get closer

"WELL THE BIG DOG HAS SOME NEWS TO BREAK

WE HAVE EXECUTED A TRADE WHICH WAS DIFFICULT BECAUSE I LIKE THE PLAYERS WE GAVE UP AND THEIR POTENTIAL BUT ULTIMATELY ONLY SO MANY GUYS CAN DEVELOP AND GROW AT THE SAME TIME RIGHT

SO WE SENT STORM MCCASTLE SUPER TALENTED ROOKIE MARLON MCFADDEN GREAT KID WITH A TON OF UPSIDE VERY UNSELFISH AND MARVIN HEMPHILL WHO STARTED TO REALLY FIND HIS GAME FOR US THIS YEAR TO PANAMA CITY AND GOT BACK A STAR YOUNG PLAYER IN DARKO PABCEVIC WHO IS UNDER CONTRACT FOR MULTIPLE YEARS AS WELL AS A SMART YOUNG BIG GUY IN GILBERT BLANKS WITH SOME SOLID POTENTIAL AS WELL THAT I THINK WILL HELP OUR DEPTH IN THE PAINT AND HELP OUR ROSTER MAKE SENSE

WE GAVE UP A SECOND ROUND PICK AS WELL BUT STILL HAVE OUR FIRST SO AS FAR AS WHETHER WERE SELLER OR BUYERS ID SAY WERE NEITHER WE MADE A MOVE TO TRY AND MAKE OUR OVERALL FUTURE BETTER BY ADDING A BLUE CHIP PLAYER AND MAKING OUR ROSTER MAKE A LITTLE MORE SENSE"

3. What do you think of GM Franchise now owning the Bar Harbor Storm, is that something you would pursue if the opportunity presented itself.

"LISTEN THE BIG DOGS A BUSINESS WOMAN AND ALL THE RESPECT TO GM FRANCHISE

BUT WHILE SHES GOT VERY BIG ASPIRATIONS AND LOVES TO OWN STUFF I THINK ITS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A CHECK AND BALANCE IN PLACE LIKE SENOR CHACON WHO CAN REPRESENT THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE"

4. Besides your own player and Derion Williams who have already been announced, who would you like to see represent each team in the World All Star Game.

"I MEAN WE SAW IT FIRST HAND BUT MARYJAN HAS TO BE AN ALL STAR RIGHT THAT DUDE IS NUTS"

5. Any other news

"BLACK ROCK GETTING REBRANDED IS BITTERSWEET BUT THEM STILL SHOWING SOME FIGHTING SPIRIT AND THAT GM BD BUILT A TALENTED ROSTER IS NICE TO SEE"

[GM Lucas]

"So when were you making the trade? was it as you were walking to the podium or at the podium. Either way, Good get. Vinson isn't happy with you shipping out MCastle so good thing I'm the coach and not him."

[GM Yount]

"JUST HAPPENED TO WORK OUT THAT WAY WHERE THE IS WERENT DOTTED AND THE TS CROSSED UNTIL SHORTLY AFTER I HEADED OUT

AND THANKS COACH GLAD YOU LIKE THE DEAL

I GET VINSON BEING UPSET I LIKE MCCASTLE A LOT TOO AND IM SURE HELL DO BIG THINGS BUT IF WE CAN START WINNING SOME GAMES THATLL CURE A LOT OF WOES

I THINK THIS MAKES OUR ROSTER MAKE MORE SENSE AS FAR AS HOW ITS BALANCED AND SHOULD GIVE EVERYONE MORE WELL DEFINED ROLES EVEN IF IT TOOK AWAY A BIT OF DEPTH"

"I WAS THINKING OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS AS FAR AS OUR DEPTH CHART I DONT KNOW HOW FAR OFF THAT IS FROM WHAT YOU WERE THINKING"

[GM Lucas]

"Perfect!, exactly what I wrote down when I heard the news. Having a set five and not having to worry about if guys deserve to start or not helps guys know their role on the bench and lets guys know in the starting line-up that they aren't going to lose their spot over a bad game or two. As much as I liked McFadden and MCastle and how much they developed, thanks to me of course, I like this better. Balance!"

[GM Yount]

"GLAD WERE ON THE SAME PAGE

WHAT I LIKED WITH THE KID BLANKS IS VINSON SAID HES PRETTY SMART AND HAS A STRONG MOTOR

I FIGURE ANY DEFICIENCIES IN HIS SKILLS CONSISTENCY WISE YOU CAN WORK YOUR MOJO TO COACH UP IF HE HAS THE APTITUDE BUT I LIKE HAVING A BACKUP CENTER THATS GONNA HUSTLE AND NOT DISRUPT THE FLOW OF THE TEAM"

[GM Lucas]

"If he has potential, I'll drag it out of him."

[GM Yount]

"IN THE MEANTIME ILL GO AHEAD AND WELCOME THE NEW GUYS AS THEY GET HERE"



"BIANCA CAN YOU SEND DARKO PABCEVIC UP TO ME WHEN HES ARRIVED AND SETTLED IN THANK YOU"



"HI DARKO ITS THE BIG DOG

WELCOME TO MEXICO CITY 

WHILE OUR RECORD ON PAPER MIGHT NOT LOOK THE BEST ON THE OUTSIDE I FIRMLY BELIEVE WEVE GOT A STRONG CORE OF TALENT HERE AND A FANTASTIC COACHING STAFF

I THINK WE JUST NEEDED ANOTHER PRIME PIECE TO REALLY UNLOCK WHAT WERE CAPABLE OF AND IM EXCITED TO SEE WHAT YOU JARED AND DARDEN CAN DO TOGETHER

OBVIOUSLY YOUVE BEEN GOING THROUGH A LOT OF UPHEAVAL WITH YOUR GM IN PANAMA CITY RESIGNING AND THEN THE TRADE SO I CAN UNDERSTAND YOUR HEAD MIGHT BE SPINNING SO THE MAIN MESSAGE AND PROMISE I CAN MAKE TO YOU IS THAT FROM EVERY LEVEL OF THIS ORGANIZATION FROM TOP TO BOTTOM WE ARE COMMITTED TO BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE WINNER AND SEE YOU AS A MAJOR PART OF THAT"

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING BRING THAT FOCUS ON THE COURT"



"BIANCA GILBERT BLANKS PLEASE"



"HI GILBERT ITS THE BIG DOG

NICE TO MEET YOU AND WELCOME TO MEXICO CITY

HAPPY TO HAVE YOU IN THE ORGANIZATION WE NEEDED ANOTHER BIG GUY AND BETWEEN WHAT MY SCOUTING TEAM TELLS ME ABOUT YOU HAVING A GREAT MOTOR AND WHAT YOU SAID AFTER PANAMA SIGNED YOU ABOUT MAKING GMS REGRET SLEEPING ON YOU THAT TELLS ME THAT YOURE THE TYPE OF GUY WE WANT HERE

THAT YOUVE GOT THAT DAWG IN YOU

THAT BIG DOG

I THINK WERE IN A POSITION AS A FRANCHISE LIKE YOU WERE WHEN YOU GOT SLEPT ON THE LEAGUE ISNT READY FOR WHAT WERE GONNA DO

WELCOME AGAIN AND LETS GET READY TO MAKE A STATEMENT BROTHER"

[GM Lucas]

"Seems like I went from one spring break destination to another, I guess I'll be ordering in again until these college kids leave. Silver lining, at least here I can get some authentic tacos on Tuesday and not that after hour swill they feed the drunks on the strip. In all honesty, I'm just happy to get off that sinking ship, no pun intended."

[GM Yount]

"NO YEAH THE BIG DOG THINKS I GET IT

HOPEFULLY YOU AND DARKO HAVE SOME CHEMISTRY TO HELP BOTH OF YOUR TRANSITIONS OVER HERE BUT THE WAY I SEE IT AS IS

WERE NOT CLOSE TO WHERE WE NEED TO BE YET BUT EVERYONE IN THE ORG IS POINTED TO MAKING SURE WERE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE MAYBE WASNT A COMPLETE FOCUS ORGANIZATIONALLY IN PANAMA ON THAT

I THINK IF EVERYONE IS PUTTING IN THE WORK TO GET SHIT HEADED WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE IT MAKES THE HARD WORK A LOT LESS NASTY FOR EVERYONE"

"HELLO ASSEMBLED MEDIA FOLKS ITS THE BIG DOG

ROUGH WEEK FOR US

I DONT WANT TO SPILL TOO MUCH INTERNAL TEA BUT AS FAR AS THE REPORTS COMING OUT ABOUT POTENTIAL DISAGREEMENTS BEHIND THE SCENES ILL JUST KEEP IT SIMPLE

THERES A HIERARCHY WITH STAFF WHERE MY DECISION IS THE ONE THAT ULTIMATELY MATTERS THE MOST

AFTER THAT ITS THE HEAD COACH

IM GOING TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT MY STAFF MIGHT NOT ALWAYS AGREE WITH BUT I RESPECT THEIR OPINIONS AND TALENTS AT THEIR JOB BUT ULTIMATELY IT STOPS WITH ME AND ANYTHING IVE ASKED FOR FINAL SAY ON I EXPECT TO HAPPEN THAT WAY

I KNOW COACH RESPECTS THE OPINION OF HIS ASSISTANTS AND THE SCOUTING DEPARTMENT AS WELL 

IF THERES DISAGREEMENTS FINE I DONT WANT AN ECHO CHAMBER INSIDE OUR BUILDING AND DIALOG CAN BE HEALTHY

BUT END OF THE DAY THE BUCK STOPS WITH ME AND ILL BE THE ONE TO TAKE THE HEAT WHEN THINGS DONT GO WELL"

[GM Lucas]

"I like to think I run a tight ship, so if there are any leaks in the hull it's not coming from me. Not trying to throw anyone under the bus but I respect the hierarchy. I take orders from you as my staff should follow my lead. Like you, I accept ideas and opinions which may not always partner with my own but I take all things under consideration. With that said, I think it's important that you know who your staff is because right now I'm annoyed if anyone is talking to press about our team"

[GM Yount]

"NOT TO CAST JUDGMENT WITHOUT KNOWING BUT THE THREE MOST PROMIMENT POSSIBILITIES TO THE BIG DOG ARE

ONE THERES OBVIOUSLY THE OTHER PARTY IN THIS STORY WHO MAYBE WANTED THEIR SIDE OUT

TWO THERE COULD BE SOMEONE ELSE ON THE STAFF LOOKING TO LEVERAGE THIS DISAGREEMENT INTO ME MAKING A RASH MOVE AGAINST ONE OF YOU SO THEY CAN MOVE UP THE FOOD CHAIN

THREE WEVE GOT A LOW LEVEL VIDEO ASSISTANT OR WORKER OF SOME OTHER KIND WHO HAS A BIG MOUTH OR IS LOOKING FOR A PAYDAY FROM THE NEWS RAGS"

[GM Lucas]

"Well not to go all True Detective but we could just talk to the other coaches. In my opinion, I say we hold off, let's go into the next week and that will give me time to talk to the other coaches. get a feel for who may or may not be happy. I don't want us to disrupt the staff any more than it appears to be."

"HI ITS THE BIG DOG

OBVIOUSLY ITS BEEN A BUMPY FIRST SEASON FOR US

WE MAYBE GOT HOPES A LITTLE HIGH IN PRESEASON BUT I THINK YOUTH AND ROSTER STRUCTURE KIND OF REARED THEIR HEADS AFTER A WHILE

AS FAR AS WHAT I COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY THE BIG DOG DOESNT KNOW I MEAN WE COULD HAVE SWUNG HARDER FOR MORE VETS TO TRY AND WIN NOW BUT I DONT THINK WE WOULD HAVE BEEN A TITLE CONTENDER WHICH IF YOURE NOT DOING THAT WHATS THE POINT BUT YOU KNOW NOT TO MAKE EXCUSES BUT OUR AMATEUR DRAFT PICK WASNT HIGH AND WITH ME BEING A NEW GM I OBVIOUSLY DIDNT HAVE THE CACHE YET TO GET ESTABLISHED GUYS ON GOOD DEALS

THIS SEASONS BEEN ALL ABOUT FINDING OUT WHO GUYS ARE WE CAN WIN WITH GOING FORWARD AND THAT WILL BE MY FOCUS FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR TOO

FROM THERE NOW THAT THIS KIND OF EXPERIMENT A FACT FINDING MISSION OF A YEAR IS ALMOST OVER ID LIKE TO REALLY FOCUS ON COHESION AND CHEMISTRY AT ALL LEVELS OF THE ORGANIZATION MOVING FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE"

[GM Lucas]

"We are figuring out who we are as a team and that's not always a bad thing. 12 teams, only 4 make it, so this year we may not be one of the four but going forward we will now know who we are and what we need to have a complete team and make the top our. Now lets go win games and make some team uncomfortable."

OUR TEAMS OBVIOUSLY BEEN UP AND DOWN SO FAR THIS YEAR BUT LIKE MISTER CHACON SAID I EXPECT THEM TO BE MUCH BETTER GOING FORWARD AND HAVE GREAT THINGS AHEAD

I DONT KNOW EXACTLY HOW FAST THAT WILL BE BUT ITS COMING BROTHER WEVE GOT THE FOUNDATION WE JUST NEED TO KEEP BUILDING

AS FAR AS CEASE FIRE TO THE BIG DOG THATS JUST A COMPETITOR BEING FIERY AND AS A COMPETITOR MYSELF I DONT THINK WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT QUOTE IF THE IBA WINS UNQUOTE SCENARIO BUT THATS JUST ME

THE WHOLE SCHEDULE THING IS WEIRD BUT THE BIG DOGS JUST WORRIED ABOUT US PLAYING THE GAMES IN FRONT OF US

ID SAY PUT DARDEN IN THE DUNK CONTEST AND JARED IN THE 3 POINT ONE BUT IF YOU HAVE TO PICK GUYS FROM OTHER TEAMS ID SAY DUNKATRON FOR THE DUNK CONTEST THAT JUST MAKES SENSE AND FOR THREE POINTERS PUT FONSECA FROM MOTOR CITY IN"

[GM Lucas]

"We will be better next season, right now I'm accessing and will have a better grasp of what everyone actually does well and the role and position they should have actually have next season, so we aren't so inconsistent. These guys ae tenacious and got heart but sometimes they get caught up in the one on one disputes and confrontations. That's on me, we have to work on discipline"

"WELL ITS INTERESTING BECAUSE REALISTICALLY AN ALL STAR GAME SHOULDNT MEAN THAT MUCH BUT WHEN YOU HAVE BRAGGING RIGHTS FOR A LEAGUE ON THE LINE ITS A BIT DIFFERENT

SOMETHING LIKE BATTLE OF THE SEXES WITH BILLIE JEAN KING WASNT GOING TO MOVE ANYONE UP OR DOWN RANKINGS BUT IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT SHE WON AND YEAH IT SUCKS THAT WE LOST

IT SUCKS EVEN MORE KNOWING THAT JARED GOT BONED OVER LIKE HE WAS ON THE BANGBUS WITH THE WAY WALLACE TREATED HIM THAT GAME

IT REALLY SUCKS THAT OUR LEAGUE HAD NEGATIVE REPERCUSSIONS BECAUSE GUYS WHO COULDVE CONTRIBUTED MORE DIDNT HAVE A CHANCE TO AND HOPEFULLY IT DOESNT NEGATIVELY IMPACT US TOO BAD BUT YOU KNOW THOSE COACHES EARNED THE RIGHT TO BONE US BY WINNING THEIR CONFERENCE LAST SEASON AND IF WE WANT THE CHANCE TO EITHER CHOOSE TO BONE THEM BACK OR TAKE THE HIGH ROAD AND SHOW WE WOULD HAVE DONE THINGS DIFFERENTLY THAN WELL THATLL JUST BE ANOTHER PERK OF WHEN WE GET THIS THING ON TRACK & START WINNING

I THINK THE BIGGEST CHANGE ID LIKE TO SEE US MAKE FOR FUTURE GAMES LIKE THIS WOULD BE WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT IF WERE TREATING IT LIKE AN EXHIBITION OR A WAR YOU KNOW

IBA OBVIOUSLY TOOK IT QUITE SERIOUSLY AND ON OUR END WE HAD A WEIRD DYCHOMOTY OF MARYJAN GETTING RUN INTO THE GROUND LIKE IT WAS A PLAYOFF GAME BUT THEN A GUY GETTING KEPT IN WHEN HE WAS BRICKING HALF HIS FREE THROWS WHEN I FEEL LIKE KEEPING A GUY IN WHO CLEARLY DOESNT HAVE IT AT THE CHARITY STRIPE THAT NIGHT IS TREATING IT MORE LIKE AN EXHIBITION GAME I THINK WE AS A BASKETBALL BODY COULDNT FIGURE OUT WHETHER WE WERE GONNA BE MAKING A STATEMENT OR DOING SOMETHING FUN FOR THE FANS ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE WASNT MUCH EFFORT TO COMBAT THE NARRATIVES HEADING IN FROM WHAT I SAW

WHICHEVER WAY YOURE GONNA TREAT IT YOU GOTTA LEAN INTO THAT A HUNDRED PERCENT IN THE BIG DOGS VIEW

AS FOR US ITS JUST A CONTINUED EVALUATION MODE THESE LAST TWO WEEKS OF THE SEASON"

"THE BIG DOG WOULD NORMALLY GIVE SOME PUSH BACK BUT FUCK IT

THEY WANT TO DISRESPECT US WE DISRESPECT THEM RIGHT BACK

SHOW EVERYONE THAT THEY SLAP US IN THE FACE WE PUNCH THEM IN THE DICK"
