Bring Monty Back to PDX

Why? So he can alienate more players? Dude has been fired two years in a row. Maybe there's a reason.
 
How does that work when you’re owed multiple years, but say Monty takes another coaching gig this year?
usually the other team picks up what hasn't been negotiated with the coach.

Lakers fans jumping on board the Monty Williams train. They want to take on Boston in next year's championship.

Milwaukee has 2 coaches on dead cap. Increase food prices & less T-shirt cannons?
 
Detroit fans are allowed to make lists of why they needed a new coach. Portland fans with similar lists are told to drop it and quit complaining.

Yes Monty Williams is the reason Detroit sucked. Let's listen to the educated Pistons fans. Can you imagine if somebody read this forum and then went somewhere else and said, "You know, I read somewhere that blah blah blah......." Sigh.....
 
If you check on a DET forum, they ~uniformly hate Monty. Now whether they are educated or not is impossible to ascertain.
 
I thought Monty was a great assistant in Portland, and always liked hearing him speak. Also feel for him with his first wife dieing in a car wreck and him having what 5 kids? Then second wife gets cancer last year.

But it does seem like he has had an issue connecting with certain players as a head coach now on multiple teams.

Has there ever been a coach on a 5 year guaranteed contract being let go after 1 season? I can't remember this ever happening.

At least he's had proven success somewhere. Billups on the other hand...

Wow i had no idea about the 2nd wife diagnosis. That's very unfortunate esp knowing what happened to the 1st

The Magic are now co-favorites with the Warriors to sign Klay Thompson, per @DKSportsbook:
Orlando = +130
Golden State = +130
Vegas is buying the buzz around Thompson potentially leaving for Orlando. pic.twitter.com/TwDk8uDY5D3:38 PM
If they get Klay doubt they'd be interested in Ant trades.

Could just be Klay/agent using them to get Warriors cash.

But anytime there are betting odds I take notice - those are by far the most predictive indicator.
 
Portland wants Orlando to be used by Klay and miss out. That way they can over spend on bringing their native son home.
 
So this is the number 1 pick next year. Look at how he moves for being 7-9. By the way he isn't done growing yet.
We need to trade grant brogdon time lord ant tisse for picks and expiring to give ourselves the best chance to draft wemby destroyer
 
"Both general manager Rafael Stone and head coach Ime Udoka are fans of veteran guard Marcus Smart, league sources said. Is there a possibility Memphis could entice Houston by offering Smart in addition to the No. 9 pick and future assets, to move up and grab Clingan if he isn’t already gone? Tennessee’s Dalton Knecht, who has fans within the Rockets organization, could be available if Houston were to move back."

Why the hell would Houston want Smart? Boston was wise to get rid of him. Memphis seems ready to get rid of him. And they already have Brooks...who also is not a reliable shooter.

Udoka seemed to like him when they were both in Boston?

7'9" ?!? goodness gracious, are parents putting Toradol in the baby formula ??

You never know for sure, but it seems inevitable that he will have more than his fair share of injuries/health issues.
 
JJ Redick is the new Lakers HC -- interesting but will he be just another in a long line of puppets for King James to manipulate ??

Hollywood got their coach. No more trendy hot topic podcasts for JJ. The Lakers supposedly plan to add the mostest & bestest superior assistant coaches around Redick, so he can perform brilliantly in his first year as head coach. Basically... LeBron & AD will goof off, and take it easy for a bunch of games. JJ will be stuck coaching the kids for ~half the year.

Over/Under: Lakers make the playoffs

I'm not a betting guy, but I might take the under. Rockets,Warriors, Grizzlies could bump Showtime basketball down a notch. Long season, we'll find out.
