Mike Dantoni AKA The Pringles Guy?

With David Fizdale getting the head coaching job in Memphis how would you guys feel about getting Mike Dantoni to replace him?

There's also Dan Craig but I'd feel that Dantoni would be a more valuable asset to the coaching staff being an offensive guru than Craig.

I wouldn't have a problem with it. He's recognized as being one of the best coaches out there and already has a rapport with Bosh and Wade. Could give Spo a valuable bit of coaching resources.

I doubt it happens but I said the same thing about LeBron coming AND LeBron leaving. :lol:

I think Dan Craig will be sitting next to Spo next season or he steals back Pat Delany (HEAT grown) from the Hornets.

It's not that simple. If you truly want Pringles here, you need to allow him to apply his brand of basketball, otherwise it's a pointless move. And his brand of basketball requires a lot of personal and coaching adjustments, some I doubt Spo could live with.

In general his free flowing, free chucking, small offensive type ball is far different then what Heat basketball has traditionally been.

Either way we will have major personal changes some wanted some not wanted this offseason. Also isnt this the direction Pat and Spo have wanted to take the team post Lebron? I doubt it happens but this is what we hear every offseason about the offense getting revised, getting faster more running the floor?

I thought Pringles was getting a second interview with the Rockets?

For all of you playing fantasy, Rockets guards have now moved up at least two rounds in the draft. :lol:

Faster doesn't mean chucking threes and shooting really fast, forcing a fastbreak. Spo has mention that his reference to pace is different from quantity of possessions or how fast you take a shot. I believe Spo reference to pace is ball movement and getting in your sets early.
