If there’s anything to the mental aspect being a significant contributor to the decline this season, maybe JJ coming to the coaching staff will help as well (assuming that actually happens).
Yeah, and I remember a lot of notes about how the three of them used to speak Spanish with each other, too. I honestly think not retaining Barea was the single worst mistake of last season.
EDIT: ...although I seem to remember them wanting him to jump on the coaching staff right away, too. So, maybe he needed a year of the phone not ringing to get his head wrapped around transitioning to coaching?
