What do you (and others) think can be done this summer, with the limited options at our disposal? The best I can see is some minor bench help. Something that might be a significant improvement like we thought Mo/Wright would be, or something as disastrous as Mo/Wright turned out to be.
Either way doesn't seem like very good accomplishment.
I'd feel really terrible about it. Wright hasn't done a damn thing to earn a starting spot. If a player is going from the bench to the starting line-up it's NOT because they MIGHT be better as a starter than as a bench player. You move them because they prove to be too good to keep on the bench...or because whoever is currently starting has proven to be inadequate. Neither of those things have happened.
So a coaching change? I definitely agree that a change in coaching is probably the easiest way to see the most significant improvement. Are you thinking head coach, or bringing in a defensive assistant? I don't really know much about assistant-level coaches, but would be open to it. As for head coaches I read something about Thibs not being a sure-thing for CHI next year - he'd probably by my #1 pick. But I'd also look at Sloan, either Van Gundy, Hollins, and even Jackson and possibly Larry Brown. Beyond that I'd see if there's another Jeff Hornacek out there.
If you put it in context with the rest of the post instead of removing it, he admitted his regret last year (his words not mine) and had no flexibility to do anything this year. The post had nothing to do with the record but making moves around the deadline.
Just to clarify.
