I'm not a big 'fire Stotts' guy...but firing Stotts now, 2.5 years before Dame becomes a free agent...are you actually suggesting that if management decided they needed a new coach they should just wait till they have Dame re-signed in July 2021 until they fire the coach they wanted to fire 2.5 years before?
Dame is a great player but he's not the GM, nor should he have the power of those kind of decisions. He's earned the right to have input but he hasn't earned the right to have the veto
Dame was good friends with Robin Lopez but he got over Lopez walking. He was really good friends with Will Barton but he got over Barton being traded. he was good friends with Tim Frazier but he got over Frazier being released. He was good friends with Mason Plumlee and hated to see Plumlee traded, but he turned right around and established a good friendship with Nurkic
I've seen this same argument before. People don't like the opinions of other posters about such and such, and they try to use the "Dame won't like it" argument. In the last 2-3 years, that silly argument has been used over and over to defend the status quo and the status quo is basically trudging along on a treadmill
sure, a lot can happen between now and April. That's 4 months of a year
on the other hand, this is the 7th season of both Stotts and Olshey. You're talking about needing 4 more months of evaluation. Others here are saying that 78 months of evaluation are enough. There isn't anything new that will be evident after 82 months that wasn't evident at 78 months
