That's fair. I also think Stevens managed to do way more with less, especially at the beginning of his coaching career. I mean hell he took Isaiah Thomas and turned him into an MVP candidate. The last few years of his career his teams were plagued with injuries and Kyrie.
I think he recognized the talent in the locker room and that they've tuned him out. So kudos to him for stepping down and allowing them to blossom.
