And it appeared Hurley's way is the winning way. how he managed to retain talents in the PORTALing age and won back2back is the ultimate proof. Samson could've have gone somewhere else but he did not.

With that said, there is an invisible line that Hurley and Co. is watching and not going to cross. that is, the balance between developing players and winning the games. We are in a final trial/error/development period in January and if we can afford the loss and developing players (not ready to give up Samson), so be it. But  if Tarris keeps playing like this or better, In February, he will give Hurley no choice but let him start at 5.

There is another side to Hurley strategy to this. Our back court is being revamped. If you watched last year's team, the lob game with Samson/Clingan was tremendous. It's very much possible in Hurley plan that he wants that part of game with new PGs with Samson, and Samson is our best lob threat. Currently on this team, only Diarra can throw a one or two at times, none else can do it.
