My father was the superintendent of the churches in the state of Montana. He was content in his beliefs. He befit the term 'true Christian.' He would turn the other cheek. He was truly a man of peace.
The problem with trading dominant players of that size is you never get in return what you've bargained away.
When Stephen got hurt...it was either a motivating force for the Pacers to get their run, but at the same time he was turning the ball over a lot, so he may have been an asset by default.
He's hired former NBA referees to monitor the game tapes. He sends out a weekly report on the referees. There's some things that Mark has done to turn it a little bit in his favor. That's good.
I've been nudging him gently in the right direction, hopefully, and I think he's ready to turn the corner,
