If you want blood you got it...now the fingers are being pointed at you BC fix your roster or you should be gone in 2010.

Ya right, that's not an option. BC will be president and GM for a long long time, i hope

I got home checked email and a friend said it in a email... I didn't believe it so I checked out
Real GM and there it is on the front Page!

I started screaming and started "woooing" busted out some dance moves and have had 3 shots of Tequlia I have to go to a Club tonight Im that psyched.... I don't even care if I get a noise Complaint!

Getting rid of Mitchell is like being cured of Cancer!!!!

I hope he does get a chance. There must be a reason Triano has a ton of respect.

Me too. I give respect to anyone who puts up with Mitchell and doesn't quit for that long. Actually, I didn't hate Mitchell. But I knew he had to go.

I saw an interview with Triano recently and he looked a lot more confident than I remember him being. It's just a gut feeling, but I think he'll be a good coach. And given that he knows the players so well, is probably our best option for this season.

He is an excellent coach you would know this if you live in Canada former coach of our national team. He understands how to get more out of less in regards to the national team with this roster?

Anyone know what Messina's contract status is with his current club?

The OP has definitely come through in the past. No hype just very realistic scenarios which only adds to his cred. Actually, I've thought before that posters exactly like raptorgenius7 are what sets RealGM apart from so many other sources.

So thanks rg7 for sharing some of your info. BC and upper management certainly can't be pleased at this stage and I'm sure there are many options/moves on the table.

Trade some expiring contracts and a pick for Vince Carter. And hire Jeff Van Gundy to coach.

i am not gonna praise colangelo for this because the timing is odd and it should have been done a while ago. The roster is still flawed but this move was neccessary too.

As usual, hindsight is 20/20.

That said, I think BC did what he had to do. And I praise him for that. I'm not going to be an armchair GM and pretend like it's as easy as saying "they suck, get it done" like some people here. But I will say that it's too bad we had to get to this point and it would have been nice if this could never have happen. And when you pay a guy a lot of money to make sure of that, and he fails, it's disappointing.

Ironically,

I just finished playing NBA 2K7, losing to Boston in game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals (I still lead 2-1).

Bosh dropped 30 and I still lost lol
