I think a coaching change is in the cards and could see them moving KAT to the 4 and Mitch to the 5. Assuming they can’t improve over the offseason is an over reaction. The roster isn’t perfect but a lot of the issues with this team comes down to coaching.
Who would you hire though? Jay Wright maybe?
I don’t want to guess, I just know that roster issue aside to me it looks like over the season the offense has deteriorated from KAT distributing at the high key and the use of screens to get guys open, to mostly ISO Brunson surrounded by shooters and the defense was never there to begin with. They aren’t very good at transition scoring, and haven’t been able to beat a Contender outside of the Grizz who are dark horse contenders. I blame the coaching for that more than the players, who are also all playing tired because of the coaching.
All that to me says unless they over perform during the playoffs it’s time for Thibs to go.
