Also, and I know it's exhausting to have to engage in "who gets the credit, who gets the blame?" again so soon, but the more I read/hear the more it seems like this is going to be Schmidt, not Urjiri.
I think Ujiri is the long term strategy/manage the front office/negotiate contracts dude and Schmidt is the "decide who we want" dude, but could be wrong and I'm sure there's lots of discussion/collaboration. At least, I hope there is. But, my point is that I think with the draft and young players we're kind of living in the "what type of guy does Schmidt like" space more than the "what kind of guy does Ujiri like?" We'll see, but either way...better hands than the Mavs' future has been in for a while, I'm sure.
