DD, KL and coach need to go
the further we get in the playoffs (even with DD/KL playing terribly), I think the more complicated it all gets for Masai to justify making big changes. A first round exit would have probably led to some major changes to our core. Now ... who knows.
At this point, the season as a whole will be considered a success even if we get swept since we made it out of the first round. Masai and Dwane can speak in glowing terms about heart, grit, players playing banged up and other non-quantifiable terms (completely glossing over the major issues we're seeing on offense) and still point to our record and post-season record as a positive thing no matter what happens (throw in some buzz about how Norman being a steal for us plus the incoming lotto pick for good measure).
Casey and DeMar get re-upped, we make our lotto selection, fire assistants/hire assistants, maybe make a deal or two to open up some cap flexibility (possibly in attempt to re-up Biz) and sign some value guys to cheap deals to round our bench.
Rinse, repeat.
