players are not going to discuss other players lack of skill or lack of grasping the scheme to the media. they didn't do it with lavar and they wont do it with AA.

Okay, I agree with that on principle I guess, though Lavar was seen as a leader of this team and a huge part of this franchise, so badmouthing him would not be something that guys would do, but with Archuleta being a new signing and everyone knowing how it's gone down, I don't think it's the same situation.

Plus you've got this quote from an unnamed source sympathizing with Adam, saying what happened to him "isn't fair". Not that "it's unfortunate", which would imply it was his lack of skill or ability to follow directions, but "it's unfair" which seems to put blame at the feet of the coaching staff.
