So frustrating because they're a coach and PG away from being a watchable contender, yet they blew chances to fix both. What's the disconnect, do you think?

I’ve written about Marks’ 2 major missteps—taking on Simmons in the Harden deal & hiring coaches he can control instead of those with established records of success. Offset all the good work he put in to get this franchise out of the abyss.

The coaching circus is frustrating but his seeming reluctance to get a real PG to replace Kyrie makes no sense. Is that a control thing as well?

I would call the PG deficiency poor judgment. Remember that Simmons proclaimed he was the PG & was all the back. Marks bought it. Dinwiddie probably would have been a fine secondary option, but not a starter.
