Heard he wanted the Lakers job which I get since he's from out that way, he really should be trying to get that Wolves job though. Makes no sense to rush into a spot with the Wizards or Rockets really if you're a coach with any kind of buzz since there's probably going to be a bunch of roster moves :manny:

If your coach is not utilizing the team to the maximum optimization they're a bad coach. Scott brooks under utilized the thunder for 5 -6 years straight

who didnt he utilize ? im not saying brooks is the best, but he is good coach IMO and an upgrade for the wizards.

Are you impressed with Billy Donovan? :lupe:

hes been solid. clearly the team has made a great effort to move the ball more this year, but i dont agree with his closing lineups. hes got to at least start playing kanter. i understand the defensive concern, but they arent stopping teams in the 4th anyway with adams, roberson and ibaka. they are consistently outscored in the last quarter so put your best scorers out there and see what happens.

they hire brooks or hornacek i'm done

Hornacek is better. Did you see how Dragic and Bledsoe and Isiah Thomas were blossoming under him?

Imagine Wall running a REAL OFFENSIVE SYSTEM :blessed:

The Markieff situation would be weird but reportedly his beef was with ownership and the GM more so than Hornacek..

Out of all the retreads and assistants the Washington Post highlighted, I'd rather get Hornacek. Thibs would be the #1 priority because I think Thibs could get Ernie fired but he's in such high demand.

This is a pure Hail Mary of Coaching Hires...... They should look to trade all that youth, or sign and trade Beal:yeshrug:

Brooks should have played small in the 2012 NBA Finals, he didn't

He didn't adjust quickly then and he didn't adjust at all during the 2014 Western Conference Finals. The Spurs probably still win that series since they were on some other shyt that year but there really was no adjustments until it was way too late... and even then, they still got blown out by 30 about 3 times there.

His offense doesn't exist.

I will give him credit for preaching defense and for developing Westbrook into more of a PG. He can develop younger players but the problem is he isn't consistent at all with other young players and routinely set them aside for vets who didn't deserve the minutes.

He's a better, younger version of Wittman. Which means the Wizards go from having a bottom third of the league coach to MAYBE the next tier?

They only have 5 players under contract next season if you count Beal being re-signed or playing under the qualifying offer.

They have 9 roster spots to fill. Without any picks. There's talk of bringing a couple young guys from abroad (Tomas Satoransky being the best player stashed playing at Barcelona). But its Grunfeld.

When KD re-signs in OKC, they will go on a spending spree of has-beens or mediocrity to patch up the roster.

The Wizards need a terrible year next year to be free from Grunfeld once and for all. We need to see them being a laughing stock again.
