Won't matter with this roster construction. Trades need to happen but Bobby isn't good at his job from what I see.

I said "I'm sad my man Darko."
He said he tried but,
he makes my heart dark though.
But wait!
There might be pizza soon, maybe free.
But Darko said, gotta win, probably 3.

He's the next former coach of the Toronto Raptors.

Just let him finish out the year.

No chance Darko lasts the whole season. Masai was on cruise control after the championship. Bobby has to bring results asap

we gotta wait cause if we pivot towards tank he would be perfect

This isn't my opinion, just a guess, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Darko gets fired midseason, if the season starts to go off the rails quickly.

Keith Pelley literally said that he wants the rebuild expedited, outright. If this starts to look like another lost season early, some kind of shakeup will likely happen instead of pivoting to a tank, and a coaching change would give the new core duo (Ingram+Scottie) another chance before even bigger shakeups have to be considered.

The roster construction issue is a much bigger problem than the coaching issue.

Must be nice to have a ready-made scapegoat when things go south.

I have disliked him very early on in his career when it was obvious he was in over his head. I do think he makes for a great assistant but definitely not a head coach.

Name / Winning % / Games
Darko Rajakovic .333 168
Darrell Walker .331 169

Just put it in perspective. Also Walker was coaching rosters that are measurably worse than what Darko has had.

Darko is legit trash

Only blind raptor supporters are supporting him

Good person but no clue how to win gqmes. What looks good on paper doesnt work on real games.

A real head coach, Poeltl back to 100%, and a half-decent back up C would genuinely catapult this team into something resembling a postseason threat.
