I think of the 3...only Vince has any real shot. And that's with Caron and Fish both leaving.

Yeah, I'd love VC, but don't know if it happens.

If not Vinsanity I'd take Ben Gordon.

I hope you guys get vince, i don't know if i'm capable of watching another year of jose's, monta's and dirk's pitiful attempts at "defense". He deserves to be on a true contender for once, he would be a good fit and he used to be kd's favorite player.

Would also be great if we could pick up a new coach

I don't think a new coach would be a good idea at this point.
You should not fire successful coaches unless a decade has passed and you have to give a coach two or three seasons of "underachieving" before firing them. In OKCs case, i can only think of one and that has less to do with coach Brooks and more to do with what he was given and an injury.

That being said if we can get everyone to resign, this might be an idea worth mulling over the first year of that resigning. Of course that also depends on if they win a title or not. I know people try to call Brooks out on his limited playbook, but some of the best coaches in the NBA had very limited playbooks. Jackson, Sloan, Spo.

I want Vinsanity in OKC! He looked awesome against the Spurs.

Mark Cuban lavishes his vets with amenities so that they will stay for less money. Vince and Marion are Mavs until they retire.

Jackson?! He had the exact opposite of a limited playbook.

Absolutely not.
Options were left open during plays, but play calling itself, at least offensively, was few.

There's a difference between few sets and few plays. Every single cut in the triangle leaves multiple options for the next guy, it's the antithesis of a limited offense.
