How did this come about so quickly? They just let go of Saunders today. When would they have interviewed him?

Wow, weird timing, especially considering the Raps are on a roll.
Isn't it proper etiquette to do this in the off-season? I don't remember assistants leaving teams mid-season.

Crap. Raps were actually starting to get going. Didn’t know the Wolves had fired Saunders.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

If you're an assistant, you do not turn down one of the 30 head coaching jobs in the NBA.

The Nurse coaching tree continues to grow.

Super disrespectful if they interviewed Finch while keeping Saunders employed.

Your mom

Why would anyone want to coach the Timberwolves... that team and organization is literally the definition of disfunction! They had 3 first picks to do absolutely nothing. They don’t develop players. Towns still can’t defend for his life and is disinterested in winning. Russell is always injured, can’t guard and can’t shoot efficiently. Their other first round picks are underdeveloped and haven’t attributed to winning.
