Taylor had carried a reputation as deliberate and, at times, indecisive owner. Hiring decisions in recent years that have brought in the likes of David Kahn in the front office and Kurt Rambis, Rick Adelman, and Flip Saunders on the bench have taken a much longer time to complete.

At times, Taylor was entirely too candid in his interview, exhibiting the foot-in-mouth lack of media savvy that he’s shown quite often in recent years.
