Not a straight firing as he could have slid down the bench or moved to the back row, but he stands as the main sacrificial lamb for our poor offense last season.

Mermuys and KCP are the clearest losers of the win-now switch.
Lionel Chalmers probably next to go. He and Shamgod both Player Development coaches.
Great call, this seems very likely.

Hmmm.


Shams just tweets whatever the agents tell him to tweet btw.

That's part of the game of getting scoops.

From my understanding, Hammond was actually a realgm user back in his Milwaukee days IIRC.





Are you serious? What would he say?

Saw him doing a tiktok dance on the sideline one time when the second half was about to start. Knew he had to go.

All I can remember about him was his cheesy halftime comments and him getting up off the bench whispering stuff to Mosley on the sidelines. He always seemed "meh" to me.
