You have the choice of any coach who is not currently coaching another NBA team...

D’Antoni made a ton of money off those Knicks and Lakers deals, though. He had horsecrap rosters in New York and bad luck in LA, but he banked it.

By the way, Casey has three years and $21 million AFTER THIS YEAR - one thing’s for sure - he’s not quitting!

Yeah, as I mentioned above D'Antoni can do a decent job when he has talent to work with, but without it he isn't going to raise a team's bar. While true most coaches will struggle without adequate talent, he wouldn't be flush with talent if he were to take the Detroit job. I also don't really envision him being the right guy to take the long view and spearhead a rebuild either.

Wait, I thought Casey signed a 5 year contract with Detroit? This is his 3rd season here, so he only has 2 years remaining after this year. Or did he sign for 6 years?

Regardless, yeah he isn't going to quit and unfortunately I have a hard time seeing Gores greenlighting his dismissal until after next season at the earliest. Would love to be proven wrong on that however.

Should only be two years. Casey signed a 5-year deal and this is his third year with the Pistons. Not that he's quitting either way of course.

Casey was hired June 11, 2018. Signed a 5 year deal.

Can only hope Gores and Weaver remove him after this season.

My bad - the years of Pistons coaches and players are all blending together..... really any Coach who would push the pace and bench our stiffs and cripples would be fine. On a related note, Pistons centers have exactly zero three pointers this season. The last one Plumlee tried was five feet off to the left! Hard to put pressure on a defense when you have centers with no range and a power forward with no mobility
