Doc Rivers actually said during a recent broadcast (when asked) ‘Yes, he would; I won’t say [my son’s] name, but he’d definitely fill that need.’

I'm not sure that Drew or KB even know Milwaukee has an NBA team.

I’m just really interested if JVG could be successful.

I think he had a schtick when broadcasting on ESPN and was doing it for TV.

I think he came across very well when on the Lowe Post in past years, I always loved those pods.

The realization that Giannis has to ok the next dude as well, ugh, generational talent but absolute goon.

Is Doc + Stotts option?

In Europe, all they do is play D, so I'd entertain this thought, but who? The only dude I know is that Serbian dude who always looks pissed. Surely he'd hate coaching divas in the NBA.


There's not divas in Europe? American action movies have steered me awry.

I truly don't understand how Doc can be the guy now when he wasn't even on the list over the summer. Is he bringing a staff of unemployed dudes with him?

End this. They don't like each other, about a ten year feud.

Curious, and I obviously know where your loyalties lie - understand if you can't say much. Did Terry think this was a possibility with regards to Griffin as a head coach (re: being so terrible to people and players he gets chased off) and that's why Terry decided to walk away?

We're the perfect situation for Doc to manoeuvre his way into, sadly. He would be fine but I feel like we're totally panicking a bit here by bringing in a guy we know has coached stars and can manage them instead of bringing in a guy who we think can put us over the top.

That’s my question as well. Why not hire the runner up in Atkinson?

In the face of the pessimism, I'll be optimistic. I didn't and don't want him, to be clear, but hating Doc is meme-level ridiculous online (not just here). We needed to act quickly; we don't have a young team with years to spare. Get us a competent wing defender, take the clown-level bull out of this team (Doc's team were by and large great in the regular season), and give me Dame and Giannis takeovers in the post season.

If he still sucks and tries to throw Giannis under the bus (lol), onto the next - probably in more like 1.5 seasons than .5, but nonetheless.

Epi, would Stotts come back for at least this season as head coach?
