Kaleb Canales new interim coach!

[B-Roy]

Per Woj.

Merge this if you feel it necessary.

 

[Nikolokolus]

Good.

 

[Natebishop3]

That's hilarious. The guy went from the glorified ballboy to the head coach in just nineish years.

 

[magnifier661]

I wanted Caleb... Good move. Not the answer, but much better than Bickerstaff

 

[Nikolokolus]

I thought Kaleb did a nice job with the Summer league guys a couple of years ago: Got them to play hard and they actually ran a real offense.

I have no problem with it. I'd like to see what the kid has.

 

[Sinobas]

Awesome! Now we are being run by a shoe salesman, and coached by a video guy! = )

Nate's coaching staff must be going with him right? I wonder if Bickerstaff will resign? Kaleb should just tell the guys to go out there and do whatever the hell they want. That way, we'll get a real feeling over how much of the problem was Nate, and how much was the players.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I thought this was gonna be a joke post; but actually I'm glad it's not any of those old guys; I got tired of seeing the bunch of em sitting there on the bench.

 

[RoyToy]

The new Spolstra

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I think they wanted to make sure they weren't gonna have anyone out there who was going to try to win every game no matter what the cost to player development.

 

[BBert]

From video guy to interim coach. Shades of Spoelstra! As long as they don't promote HCP, I think we're safe.

 

[noknobs]

Our transformation into a middling D-League team is now complete. Part of our uniforms should be big red noses and clown makeup.

 

[BBert]

I think they wanted to make sure they weren't gonna have anyone out there who was going to try to win every game no matter what the cost to player development.

I hope they do it the same way they did when KP let the boys out to play.

 

[BBert]

Kaleb. You're job is to develop and evaluate players. And don't screw up our lottery position!

 

[Pinwheel1]

I think they wanted to make sure they weren't gonna have anyone out there who was going to try to win every game no matter what the cost to player development.

This is true. Nate would want to win at all cost. And right now they need to play the young guys and lose.

[Fez Hammersticks]

Yes. The makeup of this roster was not close to contending.

Cleaning house is the only option.

 

[Natebishop3]

This is the definition of cleaning house. Now if we could only get a new GM and fire Larry.

Wow.

I believe Kurt Thomas has a partially guaranteed contract next season. Babbitt, Elliot, Nolan are on rookie deals. Shawn Williams in the Gerald trade will be owed $3.4 million. LaMarcus and Wes are the only large contracts on the books. Nic will have a reasonable cap hold of ~$5 million so we can sign free agents first with cap space then match or re-sign Nic.

 

[MickZagger]

Fuck yeah! I love this!

 

[MickZagger]

I bet you'll get effort out of him.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Serves Bill Bayno right for leaving.

Beats the hell out of this:

 

[Nikolokolus]

Happy?

Abso-fucking-lutely.

 

[MARIS61]

You always leave the coaching position open when selling a team.

 

[illmatic99]

Seriously interested in how this turns out.

[video=youtube;FYH_Qwk3KNk]

Pretty eerie premonition by Nate.

I wonder if he packed any suits with him on this trip.

So what you are trying to say is the hcp can't coach?
