hey now, you don't want these new owners completely abandoning all our franchise history and forgetting where we came from. throw Charles a $20 bill and tell him to get some friends together, just like the GOAT would do

Man if we get Lee as head coach and Ham as lead assistant, I will be absolutely thrilled. The guy I wanted as our head coach two years ago being the lead assistant for the guy I want now.

Lee is very well thought of in BOS and at his previous stops. While here, he has been working primarily on their second-ranked defense, something CHA needs to improve significantly. Lee also has a strong voice and is the guy who settles down HC Mazzulla when he goes a bit off the rails.

Vogel also makes sense, he still wants to coach. Only other job that might open up is Portland

Thought the video was on the boring side, said all the right things though. Wholesome guy, involved with successful franchises. Fingers crossed.

Don't see anyway Ham returns to the Lakers as an assistant after just getting canned.
