Fire SVG and Otis immediately
Hire either Jeff Bower or Kevin Richard as GM
Nate McMillan as head coach
Hope Jameer opts out
Do not resign any existing expiring contract currently on team
Sign and trade Ryno
Sign D Will and D12 to less than Max contracts like Miami's 2 1/2 did
Fill out with veteran guards and forwards ready to win which is so very easy because they are so many to choose from

I could give u a abundance of players

No to Bower. He sucks. Nate is just as stubborn as SVG, so no there. Jameer needs to NOT opt out so we can trade him or at least use him for one more year. It's going to be tough to S&T Ryan. DWill is going to sign somewhere this offseason and we don't have the money for him until next summer. The rest, I'm good with.

thelead droppin knowledge! I agree with everything said.

Great work arsenal. Very interesting. I'm hoping we fire Otis and Stan by Monday next week but knowing how slow we operate, the beginning of June would be a better bet.

Took a little effort, but I was kind of curious. I understand that the situation varies from team to team. From the looks of it, we might not have to wait too long.

Good info, thanks. Seems a lot get fired within a month.

Who would you guys like as next head coach.

Nate McMillian
Mike D'Antoni

Which one???

Magic HAVE to imrove team or show D12 somehow they are commited to winning a ring, FIRST!. Threating him to sign, without improving team is a BAD MOVE!!!!

I hope Alex is aware of this. All the talking he did with D12 during the season, he should have a good idea of what it will take to sign D12 to that ext.

Brian Shaw would be my first choice, if not him, than Mike Malone.

Great research but i think this situation is much different then the others because our management doesnt seem to want to fire svg unless thats what dwight wants and if dwight wont commit or be up front on exactly what he wants stan may be around for awhile

Both of theose would be downgrades from SVG and bad choices. Especially D'Antoni.

Neither. I'll do some research later this week.

I would throw a blank check at Phil Jackson if I was RDV the billionaire. How about that for showing Dwight you were serious about winning? Seriously, we just paid GArenas $60 mil just to leave. Why can't we throw $20 mil at Phil?

TheLastDon · Post #217 » by **TheLastDon** » Wed May 9, 2012 4:48 am

You guys do realize that a 1st time head coach will not keep D12!! So what experienced coach do u guys prefer??

ADRajX · Post #218 » by **ADRajX** » Wed May 9, 2012 4:48 am

No to Mike D'Antoni... please... just... not him.

Nate is okay... he's neither an upgrade, nor a downgrade per se.

But I doubt we're ever getting Phil Jackson or Jerry Sloan... also Larry Brown isn't an option either.

I don't want Paul Silas.

Flip Saunders is TERRIBLE!

So who else is out there that we can get? I would have liked Lawrence Frank when he was available, but he's taken now.

Brian Shaw may be our best option truthfully.
