Marc Stein: Terry most likely out.

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Allen should give Spoelstra a blank check. But we’d have to give the Heat compensation no?

We can give them a 7’1 shooting guard!

 

[Scalma]

What about Vanterpool? Too close to home?

 

[Scalma]

I’d fire Olshey and hire Billups. Then let him choose a coach.

Yes.

 

[Scalma]

And u know if Billups fires Stotts Dame will be ok with it since he has a relationship with Billups and will probably trust him. Then again maybe he trusts Neil too.

Billups
and
Wright

It’s a fucking business, we need to stop worrying about Dame. He knows changes need to be made. We got swept while being a pretty healthy team for the most part. If he wants to leave because we fired a coach that is responsible for 10 straight playoffs, so be it.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Billups
and
Wright

I like Wright, don’t know if this is the right time to go for him. I don’t think he leaves Nova for a few years.

I get your point, but he’s our franchise player. Having a relationship with him isn’t a bad thing.

I do think these guys have gotten too comfortable in their environment though. I commented on it last year before we traded Plumlee. As soon as we shook things up we started winning. Having your players on edge isn’t the worst thing.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Fizdale. Take that for data!

I get you, Dame is my favorite player ever. He should be talked to before every major move BUT his opinion shouldn’t carry weight in making roster/coaching decisions.

 

[BonesJones]

It doesn't hurt to try, and if we offer him enough, he might take it. I feel like it'd be the right time for him. Two championships in 3 years, has multiple players leaving for the draft.. Portland would be a great job to take with a wealthy owner willing to pay him.

My biggest fear is he pans out like a Billy Donovan

If you're doing it, clean house

 

[illmatic99]

Gotta interview Becky too

 

[LayneStaley]

I talked about this months ago but Paul could have any gm he wanted if he was willing to get his hands a little dirty.

 

[BonesJones]

Billy Donovan always had good recruits and major resources. He wasn't a great college coach. Jay Wright turned Villanova from a underdog with some history into a blueblood. From watching both guys coach, Wright is much, much better.

 

[theprunetang]

I want Becky Hammond or Mike Budenholzer for coach. But, we need a new GM too, and a new GM is going to want to select his own coach.

 

[BonesJones]

Danny Ainge man... That'd be awesome.

 

[BonesJones]

Do people want Becky Hammond because she's a female? She did well in SL but how do we know anything about how she would be as a coach?

Would love to bring her in as a head assistant to Budenholzer. That'd be awesome.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

I'd rather have a Popovich guy/girl than a Carlisle guy

 

[LayneStaley]

Danny Ainge man... That'd be awesome.

That’s the one I was talking about months ago lol

 

[LayneStaley]

Even the Twolves got a win!

Mainly from her Pops pedigree. But also how she has coached in SL situations and also from the way I have heard Pops talk about her basketball mind. He is a huge fan.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Yes Neil needs to go as well. He and his inability to do the job is holding this roster and team hostage. He’s been here 6 years too long. If he was going to show us something dazzling he would have done it by now.

He maybe a problem but I wouldn’t fire the coach.

 

[BonesJones]

We don't need to baby Dame.

If his loyalty is dependent upon us babying him and catering EVERYTHING to him, then he can leave. I don't think it is, so make the best decision for the organization, which is firing Terry and Neil.

 

[HolyBackboard]

Just recorded a podcast that will be up later but my candidates I want to interview are (in no order):
- Jay Wright
- Becky Hammon
- Mike Budenholzer
- David Fizdale

 

[JoshuaHall]

Who are you top 3 candidates? As for ‘need NBA experience’, that’s why people missed out on Brad Stevens!

I like Fizdale, Jay Wright, Stackhouse.
