I’d prefer Chauncey over Kidd and Lloyd Pierce. Lol

Bonus: KG and Chauncey are best friends. Maybe KG comes on as assistant.

Brad is taking a more prominant role in the front office

IE: More prominant that coaching,

He will most likely have Austins position,

Becky Hammon new Head Coach would be a good move. Billups could be an option. Geez...Hopefully, they don't hire from within and promote one of the assistants.

I’ve calmed a little bit. It helps that I really like Jaylen Brown, so not seeing him traded by a random GM helps.


Let’s see what unfolds, hopefully a lot. This will still be a fun off-season.

Chauncey Billups would be a nice pick. I’m sure he would bring a fresh perspective. Have to say I love what Nate McMIllan has done with the Hawks so if they don’t make him full time coach I would consider him as well. Would love to see Perk have a role somewhere but he’s great in his current gig. Sam Cassell is a guy I’ve thought of and why not bring back IT in some role. God knows we owe him

That's exactly who I want as the head of basketball operations.

Not someone who has experience and is itching to do the job.

Someone who has 0 credentials and is already worn down and tired of it all. And now has to learn a new role.

He's going to be on trades like sigh how about I give you 1 first rounds. Jesus 3 whatever name it and I'll sign it. Gosh I'm just so... tired of it all.

If Stevens can somehow trade Kemba and get something in return then I would be impressed

You **** kidding me? Did we desecrate some Indian burial ground that all these misfortunes are piling up on us? Goddammit

If we hire any of those two I'm done. THEY DO NOT HAVE GOOD TRACK RECORDS, WHY ARE THEY CANDIDATES

Can we at least try to get an established coach instead of some hack ex player or a player that's never coached before?

How about Jeff Van gundy?

It's an offensive minded league now. It's all about offense.
