:lol: I'm starting to wonder with the way they are getting rid of people...MD, PP and a number of others will be out of a job.

Hopefully a big man's coach like Tree Rollins or Clifford Ray.

But this is the first time he has had the chance to bring in his own guys which is interesting.

A total makeover in the entire operation! Wonderful. I love it. It is what is needed!

I could not be more pleased. Now hire a competant staff and then start dealing with player personnel!

Turn this entire roster over!

I've already been notified by Hammond. MD and I are getting replaced by a former poster who thought things were too negative on this board.

On a serious note, this is great news. Not coincidentally people thought the best coaching the last five years was done when Porter had Mike Schuler on the staff. We've needed a former head coach on the staff for a long time.

I love seeing the training staff swept out also. Maybe Hammond can lure that Pistons trainer Abdenour over here. I remember watching him give the Pistons some special "smelling salts" during a game. Not sure if that was legal, but they all seemed to be using them.

Looks like I'm being traded to the Clippers for a mod to be named later. PP is being shipped to the Griz for a second rounder.

I think we should just keep you or plain cut you guys. Do not need a garbage for garbage trade. :D

Sorry that won't work. We both have guaranteed contracts.

Thanks for printing Clifford Ray's name.. I could not think of his name for anything in the world last night. Yeah, I wonder what it would take to get him here?

I think the big man's coach is a particularly good idea---any clue on who could be potential options?

Kareem has done great work with Bynum, and I think in general that going with a former player route with practical and successful experience playing is a good way to go.

Bill Laimbeer seems like he'd be perfect, as he certainly could help give Bogut even more of a nasty streak. I bet him and Hammond know eachotehr from their detroit days as well.

hopefully some of the injuries that have plagued the bucks recently will decrease with the new medical / training staff...bring back mark pfeil.

I think I should do it - maybe I can fool them with some international mystique. I mean, it's worked twice before, and my name is weird sounding (Hebrew/old testament first name, swedish surname) so I reckon they could be all over it!

But now they've got sensible people there, no more Larry Harris/Dave Babcock to excite with my internationalism :cry:

Jeez, I'll be Bogut's drinking buddy at the same time-like Markota but I'll actually offer something to the organisation like leg-rubbing and stuff.


EDITED TO ADD: Weird, just noted Markota is part Swedish as well - damn, if only LH hadn't been fired!
