Hollinger, who spent seven years as vice president of basketball operations at the Grizzlies Club in Memphis, received praise around the world after becoming one of the NBA’s most innovative observers at the beginning of this millennium.
The 49-year-old currently occupies a solid position on the Athletic website.
In the past, Hollinger has been instrumental in developing an offense and defense rating system based on an average of one hundred attacks, as well as the NBA’s definition of the Player Efficiency Rating (PER) formula.
Hollinger, the pioneer of the Houston Rockets, one of the club-based clubs, who later built on his philosophy, then reacted with great skepticism to Detroit’s decision to sign a three-year contract with a 20-year-old Lithuanian .
On the night of December 1, the former Memphis club director in Lithuanian time criticized the Pistons team on his personal Twitter account.
“It just came to our attention then. (Sirvydis) didn’t beat the level of the Lithuanian basketball championship last season, and this season he scored 1 point in two Israeli league games.
This must be a joke. He was beaten in the Lithuanian League last year. Scored 1 point in two Israeli domestic league games this season. https://t.co/PU8alJ5fQG

Sirvydis, who will be moving from Hapoel in Jerusalem to Detroit, has signed a minimum three-year contract with the Michigan State Club. According to the latest reports on the details of the contract, the third season of the Lithuanian contract with the Pistons has no financial guarantees: the team will have the opportunity not to extend the cooperation with Sirvydis after two years without having to refund the amount of the last season .
The son of veteran LKL basketball player Virginijus Sirvydis, who began his career at the Vilnius Rytas Club, heard his name at the 2019 NBA Rookie Exchange, where he was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks with the 37th call-up. The rights to the basketball player were soon transferred to the Detroit Club.
