First Dragic camping in the corner and now this. Don't even get me started on the Green chucking, no Len touches, not playing youth and more. Can we just fire Hornaceks dumb ass before he completely ruins everybody on the team?

Then go back to Twitter and stop spouting this nonsense constantly.
But then isn't it the coach's fault for... not being more of disciplinarian? Or because they miss shots? Or because of turnovers?
Yes, the list goes on and on, and somehow, Hornacek has apparently forgotten how to coach since last year, because that makes sense, right? Seriously, though, yes, Hornacek does have to shoulder some of the blame. His player-on-the-floor selection has been questionable at times, but he's having to deal with a much higher-then-normal player turnover. I'm not sure how to gauge this against other teams, or if anyone does track this sort of thing. But it's fairly obvious that we have to be in the top 5 in this category, league-wide. Just look at the roster now compared to last year. Here's a list of the players that were not on the roster last year:
Knight
Wright
Bullock
Warren
Thornton
Granger
Barron
That's half the team, or 7 of 14, players, and that's not including IT (and technically, Zoran, even if he didn't play), so in actuality, it's more like 8 of 15. That can't be easy for a coach to integrate that many new players over the course of 64 games. Especially considering that only two starters (Bledsoe, Tucker) from last year are starting this year, and we lost one of which that was potentially, our best player in Dragic, and another that was a big part of our offense (Frye). But sure, let's solely blame Hornacek for the play.
And switching gears for a moment, and in response to your post a couple of pages back, some of what you said does actually make sense. Yes, we need talent, regardless of position. If we end up with an unbalanced number of SFs, it wouldn't be a terrible thing. Better to 5 SFs than 5 PGs. I'd rather have 3, 6'6"-6'8" players on the court at the same time, than 3, 6'3" or shorter players on the court. Better to have a 6'7" SG, 6'6" SF, and 6'8" PF, with a 6'1" PG, and 7'1" C, than to have a 5'11", 6'1", and 6'3" PG/SG, a 6'10" PF, and 7'1" C. And no one is untouchable/irreplaceable. Len is probably the closest thing we have to a star, so he should be the player we consider trading. But assuming we let Green go, we may have Bullock, Tucker, Warren, and Mook. And if we add Harris or Butler or D. Green, then that's OK, I guess--talent is talent, and with Bullock able to play SG, and Mook play PF in a pinch, we should be able to get significant playing time for Warren next season.
So yes, you are right. McD should look to bring in talent for any position OTHER than PG; and if the MoBros are part of a pkg out, to bring better talent in, then I guess that would be ok, but I personally like Kieff--probably more than many here at RealGM, so I'd be initially pretty bummed, but would get over it in time.
). Backup PF is a GLARING need on the roster, and you might be able to coax a 2019 first out of GSW for the "privilege" of taking on that contract for one more year. He's a vet with a good attitude, and at least rebounds at a respectable rate, plus he can pass and do some fun things on offense. We suck colossal ballsack on defense and he's obviously not going to help there, but if we're serious about adding vets, he's at least one who can still contribute in a positive fashion on the floor, plus we could probably get some future stuff for him - everyone wins, and we can kick the can down the road one more year on cap space to jump into the 2016 extravaganza.
