The guy I'm hoping we can get who has played on two different teams for Brooks is Jeff Green. I hope we can get him for the vet min. He'd be great off the bench.

As an assistant coach I’m not sure there is anything to not be optimistic about. Been in league forever and been a HC, and an assistant before for some good teams. The Wizards got better as the season went on last year. They started off awful and went to the playoffs. The team didn’t quit.
 
Couple people making connections to a couple of ideas. Players coming here like to have an idea of what and who they are playing with and for.

A number have said Billups could bring free agents. I think Brooks could as well. It's all about people and the system they are running.

Agreed. If we bring in Lionel Hollins I think Marc Gasol would make an excellent back-up to Nurk. We could run the same stuff with his passing and he'd stretch the court a little further as well.
 
Wait a tic, the most hated person on this board besides me is Russell Westbrook…… this man is responsible for everything Russ did that led to all the hate.
 
Pretty basic and fundamental. Must give him time to put together a staff, draft, make any player changes if agreed upon and fill out roster, fall camp, and then see how the season unfolds.
We have a player thats many consider a super star and if we get the right players and schemes, no reason we should not be in contention.

I like Gasol as a backup but I dont think hes a free agent.

That is true. I think is a good fit and nothing to do wrong with hiring him (as he should know that he is not the HC). Also think the Wizards did good under his lead.

I'll admit to being a big fan of Scott Brooks, at least as a person. I still remember his speech to the Thunder during a timeout as they were about to lose the finals to the Heat.

A good loser, so he's well prepared for the Blazers!

Experience. Do you think we should have Vanderpool? I’m wondering why he hasn’t got serious interest yet as a head coach candidate. I’m not opposed to him. But not just because he’s friendly with Lillard

Well Washington is not very good team with him or without as a coach. You got have some type quality players outside from Beal and Westbrook. He have a few good young players but not enough to get you over the top even in the east.
 
CJ/DJJ/Future 1st for Westbrick works financially if DJJ opts in. RW is 32 and on the hook for 3 more seasons but that’s a pretty all in move. We need a big imo but can u imagine RW constantly pressuring the lane then dishing to Dame for wide open 3s.

Bet David is a great peraon, coach. But he never struck me as the best XnOs guy. We need assistants that make the HC better not just develop talent.

actually think they would be worse with that. Damian and Westbrook would be awful in my opinion. Not one appealing thing about it.

Why do people hate you?
Why do they hate Westbrook? The guy is a great player. Sure he is a competitor. He also seems to have a rivalry with Dame so to speak but to hate a guy seems like a strong word?

Do you have some sort of rivalry with Damian Lillard as well?
