Expect smartass nonsense from the usual suspects, because Aki tells an unpopular story.

It was great to hear him address the Iverson situation too. That's a man. Wish him nothing but the best.

RE: Very classy interview
So Aki talked to Damon 2 weeks ago, told Pastner he [Damon] might be receptive "if there's a change" and Aki got pushed out.

And Aki has no ill will towards anyone.

Aki is all class.

Indeed and he left no doubt as to his and his family's love of this city. Stated that was the worst thing abut leaving. They love Memphis. Very thoughtful, common sense, cares about the kids. Also very loyal to Pastner and feels he is growing as a coach and that Pastner is a really good man which I don't think anyone can doubt.

It's obvious that you didn't bother to to listen to the interview. It was Aki who turned Damon on to Josh to begin with.
What is LAUGHABLE about loyalty, to the coach and the program?

Yep. Could have just kept his mouth shut, but went out of his way to support his former employer. That's a guy I'd want to hire.

What the hell are you talking about? What volley? I have no idea what you are talking about and I dare not walk where the cheese slips off the crackers.

I also thought he gave a very succinct reply to the pundits and fans of pundits who keep complaining about the lack of of an X-O ex-head coach on the staff.
He said there was a reason why they are are exes.

Dear less..there are ways to skewer someone in a sly way (see Cal). This was very heartfelt and genuine.
