Indeed... at least I hope so. Wilks and coaches don't get a free pass on the Avery thing as they either weren't flexible enough as thinkers or weren't able enough to smooth things over with a young, frustrated player by not playing him.
Yeah, what we know for sure is that he was unhappy with his role and requested a trade. Not even being active makes it an understandable trade request from a player that saw himself as a major contributor.
We don't have the relevant info but based on pre-draft evals regarding the type of person he was said to be recommended by Memphis coaches as "self-less, hardest worker on the team,an impact leader," it's hard for me to believe that Avery was that bad of a locker room guy.
