    Well, I hope they have a competent replacement in mind. I didn't love Warkentien, but I wouldn't have batted an eye if he'd been their target.

    I'm gonna blow my brains out if Danny Ferry is named the GM. He sucks just as much as John Nash.

    Does Kevin McHale have a job right now? He has coach AND GM experience.

    What's your take on that? I just find it interesting how emphatic the usually vanilla Miller is on most matters. It makes me wonder what was really going on behind the scenes.

    THAT made you wonder what is going on behind the scenes? Where have you been since Penn was fired?

    Nate will be the next to leave sometime next season after this dysfunctional mess gets off to a slow start.

    Wow, Nate is not happy at all.

    Go ahead and joke, but if you take his first 2 years with his shitty teams, and Nate's forst 2 years with his shitty teams....McHale looks good.

    He is piss poor as a GM, but as a coach, he is alright.

    I'm with you, MM. All evidence points to him being pretty good as a coach.

    As a GM? HORRIBLE. As a coach? Better than the alternatives he's replaced :)

    Pritchard has been angling for Warkentien's job for years, undermining him constantly. Looks like he finally succeeded.

    With Kevin Garnett, he went 19-12 as a coach in 2004-05.

    It kind of blows up the whole theory that Warkentien had the inside track and was a shoe-in once KP was out ... it just changes things that were suspected is all.
