Blows my mind how much people still complain about him. And it's not just the memesters
Let's see him develop a young player not named Luka (I would put Powell too, but then Carlisle ignores how utterly hapless he is on defense and plays him so much that Cuban and Donnie think they have to give him a contract he would never have received from any of the 29 other teams in the league, period), be able to mesh with players who don't seem to have any trouble contributing well with other teams, learn how to go for the easy shot when trying to maintain leads, and coach defense adequately without Casey standing next to him. I'm one of those who once wanted to see him be our Sloan and retire here - as recently as a year ago. Not any more.
Maxi, Dodo, and Seth were all developed by Rick
That Powell extension was rather weird though. Of all players I wonder why we chose to extend him. I can't think of another time where we extended someone a year before their contract was going to end. Maybe we did it with Dirk at some point. Always something I complained about us ignoring but that was the wrong player to try it on.
