Smartest thing that has been said today on this forum. People assuming that Pioli is putting pressure on Haley for Cassel to start is absurd. What do you think is more likely to get Pioli fired. A unsuccessful franchise? Or one bad trade? Yeah thought so... He will do whatever is in his power to get this franchise wins because how this franchise does has a direct correlation to his job status.
