Moving to retain Madgen and Garlepp even without a head coach I think was a solid move by the management and actually reinvigorated some faith in them that they're already thinking towards next season when some other teams have the "wait until the season is over" mentality...
Madgen can be a franchise player, improved under Heal and I think will only get better under a better coach, especially with his work ethic.
Garlepp is in contention for MIP and if he misses out to Nate, I think it will be very close... He works hard and does whatever it takes...
Two very good moves...
However, even though I think White is a solid backup player, there's no way that he's going anywhere and I think even if you've got the intention to sign him eventually, moving to re-sign him now is a bit reckless and jumping the gun... Hopefully the new coach comes on board and tells him to shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot at training every day to just get that automatic no-fear shot. He gets that in his arsenal and that will be valuable to the team...
Under a better coach and with a proper pre-season, I think Cody could have been in contention for ROTY. He's got a really nice outside shot (that still needs work, granted) and hustles hard under the basket for loose balls. I was under the impression that it was a two year deal anyways, so still ok with him sticking around...
I just hope the rumour of them offering Harvs a position is just that... Great guy off the court, but enough with the signings already, just get a damn coach!
