he took over a 29 win team and in the 2nd season took them to 47 wins and the only playoff appearance in 16 seasons. That kind of looks like some improvement to me.

One season out of three, after which they plunged straight back down again. It looks to me like an outlier in a year that they made a future-for-present trade to get Jimmy Butler.

I think Thibodeau is a perfectly fine coach, but I think he has a ton of flaws (I mean, he immediately alienated Butler, the player who was pretty instrumental in his one good season) and I think he's being overly hyped for this season in New York.

I am unsure on Olshey. I would love to see a different coach with this roster. I see a lot of talent. Is it perfect? hell no. No roster is. But it has enough talent that when healthy can be a very good team.

ok then...I see where you're coming from. I don't want Olshey to sit in the GM's office another day but I understand a desire to see if another coach could make a significant difference with the roster. I think some fundamental roster flaws would still be there though

al what you say could be true. It does seem like teams improve, sometimes quickly & significantly. But he does seem to burn thru the patience and good will of the players really fast

Butler has been alienated nearly ever stop he’s gone. By his own doing.

What do you think Stotts would do with that New York team?

Is Stotts our barometer for coaching excellence? I don't know what he'd do--most likely not a ton, but I'd still like to see New York improve for more than a season before being all that sad on missing out on him.

I think the roster is filled with talent that doesn't fit together but if the next GM agrees with you so be it. Olshey has let Stotts be here for too long. So McGowan needs to move on both of them and pick the next GM who can decide if Dame and CJ are a great fit for the number one and two options of a championship team. I doubt any basketball professional will think that they are an appropriate back court to pay 70M to but if McGowan does the right thing... I guess we'll see.

The fact is that Stotts should have been fired in 2018 and here we are in 2021 and he still has this job. That's not Terry Stotts's fault, that's Neil Olshey's fault and it's absolutely worth firing him. Let the next guy choose who the next coach is and if he has to work with the same flawed roster.
 
Jason Kidd as coach? I’m trying to think who made guy actually be able to “coach” Dame and contribute to Dame’s own improvement, etc.
 
Nurks defense is single handily keeping this somewhat manageable right now.

the most salient part of all those tweets:

"Dame seems limited by his hamstring but nobody's stepping up like he did when CJ & Nurk were out. Major change is needed."

it takes actual upper-tier talent to "step-up" on any consistent level and Dame is the only talent like that Portland has
 
Do you really need to change drivers to know that a dependable Honda Accord isn't winning the Indy 500?

Can we at least donate this driver's 5M to the fans that put up with this shit? Since driver of this honda accord has no utility.
