Stotts Fired Thread

[SlyPokerDog]

If she wasn’t a woman would she be bandied about?

All of Pop's assistants get looked at for coaching jobs. It's the ultimate endorsement.

It’s gonna be Billups.

Enough with the dame wants out nonsense

Lillard is going to the Celtics with Stotts!

nurk plays chess, not checkers

Just imagine if he played basketball...

3D Basketball?

 

[DDolla]

Quick changes right away after that Dame Instagram post… lol. Dame should have post that 3 years ago

 

[Scalma]

yeah, Billups lol.

 

[julius]

Lamont strouthers

now that's a knowledge drop

 

[wizenheimer]

it won't matter much who the coach is if Olshey is still in place, keeps CJ, and loses Powell

 

[B-Roy]

For those who think Dame wants out.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Make history and go with Becky Hammond?

Make history and go with Becky Hammond?

We should base this on who Lillard wants.

Not to be woke, to make history, to "try something out", or to appeal to a new segment of fans.

We have a small window to start to compete until Lillard will want to ring chase if we don't make the right moves.

If lillard feels that Becky Hammond is the best coach for him, then I'm fine with it. If it's because she's a woman, yall need to GTFO with that bullshit

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Maybe we can get to a place where we're discussing qualifications and style of coaching instead of their gender.

Becky Hammon coach vs Becky Hammon female coach.

Nahhh... That's just so 2021.

Any coach we hire becomes part of team history.

Looks like Olshey is keeping his job.

Ugh.

My gut feeling is him and Chris McGowan stick around until Jody/Vulcans sell the team. They are too entrenched and know all the inner workings.

Imagine the Blazers hiring the first woman HC, we will be the talk of the NBA and will be on national tv every single time

But also, she's good.

 

[maxiep]

The Blazers have a need...a need for https://chapelboromedia.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2019/03/08111037/rasheed-wallace-suit-1080x567.jpg

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Explain this?

The real fans will show their faces now thru all this adversity!

On second thought don't. I already know it's gonna smell bad.

 

[maxiep]

Or if we want the three-man weave offense... https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.tow...101e0/5abd652b3de92.image.jpg?resize=1200,679

 

[cheesehoff]

If Dame has "major input", you can bet that Vanderpool will be his first choice. Hopefully he wouldn't run anything similar to Stotts offense. A big plus would be getting rid of CJ, signing Powell and teaching Dame better defense. Upgrade the personnel and hire a strong defensive assistant coach. If not Vanderpool, I'd love to see Ime here. He has been learning from Pop for several years plus his calling card was defense when he played.

Relief. Everyone can bitch about something else now finally!!

There was a time where I wanted Becky Hammon as a serious candidate. Then this whole board has the sentiment Becky Hammon or bust.

Now I don’t want her. It’s the coach of an NBA team. Not some kind of statement gig.

 

[maxiep]

This is fucking scapegoating. Olshey should go first.

I couldn't agree more. However, it was clear Stotts lost the confidence of the players, therefore it was time.

However, Olshey bears the brunt of the blame. How you can not get a legit 4--even with a healthy Zach--is inexcusable. We constantly put guys like Covington, Jones and Melo in impossible situations because Olshey couldn't get a freaking power forward.

Hiring Hammond is more for Basketball history.

 

[Scalma]

I suspect dame will have input on the guys Olshey (or whoever) picks as finalists, and I doubt vanterpool will be on that list.

Imagine how stupid you must be to want to be the talk of the NBA because of someone you hired, not how much you won.

This whole board has never had a Hammon or bust sentiment.

 

[calvin natt]

Mark Jackson and David Vanterpool would be maybe bottom two on my list. Please god no.

Don't worry. Once a bitch always a bitch. I mean they might be able to find something else to protest.
