Stackhouse so he can make us a good G-league team next year. :nod:
The Charlotte Hornets will win their first round series against the Boston Celtics in the 2021 Playoffs

Messina
Larranaga/Udoka

In that order of preference. I think Udoka could possibly be as good or better than all of them, but his lack of experience outside of the Spurs organization gives me pause. The same for Larranaga, but I'd be happy with any of the above.

I want nothing to do with Messina. I am all for Udoka or Stackhouse at this point.

I don't care, just someone from a winning program. Would be happy with any SAS guys or Larranaga.

Larranaga would be a good hire. He's had enough time around the Celtics organization to understand what wins in this league.

As great as the Spurs have been the last two decades their philosophy has become a BIT stagnant in my opinion. I still think Messina and Udoka are good hires I'd just take my shot on Larranaga first. He was a really successful college head coach as well.

College head coach is Jim Larranga. The Larranga in question here is Jay Larranga, his son. Jay has never been a head coach, but has impressive assistant credentials.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

I know it’s not likely but I put Stackhouse. With so many interviews, it may just come back to a Tarheel :wink:
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.
