But of course we’re going to play the “Will They, Won’t They” game with Brooks for weeks so that the good coaching candidates have already been signed.
Because Wizards.
D'Antoni would be a good choice. Would really like to see him with the Wizards and give him a chance to bring in new assistant coaches. Some new ways of doing things are needed. At 70 yrs old, do you think he still has what it takes? I do.

Westbrook said D'Antoni didn't hold Harden accountable in Houston- so there may be some bad blood between the two of them. I don't think it happens.

That's funny, because Brooks doesn't hold Westbrook accountable here.

Name a star in the NBA who is “held accountable.”
Not a one.
Stars must be treated with utmost delicacy — else they leave, or create dissent before they do.
So GMs must involve them in personnel decisions. And act as though the player has the power to shape and decide.

Westbrook isn't a star. He has the label because of what he did four years ago, but he's not in demand anymore. So giving him any say in any decisions is foolish...unless your a mom 'n pop organization like the Wizards.

He who seeks the advice of all the experts and patiently deliberates is lost.
If Terd doesn't have mechanisms in place to fire and quickly replace, Terd is just scared to make a move.
I don't wish this on anyone, but the Wizards' best hope may be the same as the best hope under Pollin: death of owner, team sold. I think you automatically get a #1 pick when that happens.
