    Also, Vonleh with just 6 minutes...
    I'm tired of this, we are worth more than having such a loser coach.

    I didn't watch the game, I don't care much anymore. How effective were Kaman's minutes? I'm guessing you enjoyed having our worst big man playing 20 minutes?

    You know what, it is not up to me anyway. I'm not the one to decide. Just think it's a shame we're losing so many games because of this.

    This is hands down the most retarded thread I have seen in here in a long time... like serious retarded, not comparing to mentally handicapped people,using the term to describe a neuro-typical person who doesn't use their brain at full logical capacity. I'm having a hard time processing how stupid people's knee jerk reaction to a rebuilding season are. Stotts is easily a top 10 caliber coach in this league. 1st I want to point out that Frazier simply isn't good. He's not a long term keeper as we build this team, and for those of you who were butt hurt about it, he is still better than Pressey. In the case of Alexander he still might not be 100% and he probably just started full practices. Regardless of the why's, firing him because of his rotation last night... wow.

    People need to use actual logic if they are going to post things about firing people or trading players. You shouldn't do either unless there is a feasible solution that actually makes sense.

    Ohh, you actually think the team is losing because of Stotts' rotation, that's cute that you are so delusional about the actual state of the team as it's built. Now if you were saying play Alexander and Vonleh to develop them since wins don't matter this year and it's a rebuild get a better draft pick year, then yeah I could see your point maybe a smidge. Thinking it gives us a better chance is both wrong in terms of realistic matchup and wrong in the sense of that being a true priority.

    Yeah... Threads like this make no sense. Especially so early in the season.

    Fire Stotts? Lol

    Lillard, Cj, and Stotts is literally the only people that should stay. Stotts in my opinion is atleast top 7 in the NBA for best coaches. Look at what the hell hes working with, what they need to do is fire some of these scrubs like Vonleh and Meyers..

    Kaman played good last night, had some nice assists and put his teammates in positions to succeed. Vonleh has been one of the worst players in the NBA this season he doesn't need to be put in a spot he's failing even more than he has. Alexander can't shoot he only gets minutes if Ed or Mason sit out. Frazier barely made an NBA roster and is basically irrelevant long term, he's not playing in front of CJ or Dame.

    Maybe we review Stotts future at the end of the season but I can't see any scenario he is fired during the year. Those panick moves are what poorly run franchises such as the Kings make.

    If Stotts wanted to win, Vonleh would play 0 NBA minutes.

    If we can get Tom Thibodeau, sure.
    However, there's no logic in firing Stotts just for the sake of firing somebody.

    Btw, active coaches who are better than Stotts imo:

    Mike Budenholzer
    Brad Stevens
    Rick Carlisle
    Stan Van Gundy
    Steve Kerr
    Jeff Hornacek
    Gregg Popovich
    Quin Snyder

    maybe Rivers and Kidd...

    That's only 7-10 coaches, we could do a lot worse than Stotts.

    I'm not sold on Stotts. He's never shown that he can coach defense.

    I don't know about a complete pass but certainly you don't judge him by Wins and Losses. It's more about how he develops players, schemes and gets the most out of his players even though they are undermanned.
