Alright let's move this forward a bit. Who's available and who would you like to replace Terry? We all know the retreads. Who's the next Nick Nurse who came out of nowhere?
Been reported that Paul Allen was ready to fire Stotts but Dame didn’t want to so Paul decided to give him one more season. Sadly, he passed shortly after.
that brooklyn coaching staff is loaded. what are udoka's bonafides, outside of being with Pop for a decade? (granted that's damn good)

Would be great if we could ask Olshey that question, but he's available to the local media like twice a year.
honestly think the reason terry doesn't get fired is because we're afraid of the national backlash from nba media.
All the blame for this is on Olshey. He needs to get some balls and do his job. I really don’t believe Olshey has it in him to fire Stotts. People say you can’t fire Stotts because Dame is loyal to him and would want to leave if Stotts was gone. I think Dame is also loyal to his teammates, loyal to the organization and loyal to the city. He wouldn’t want to leave just because Stotts was fired. As the GM, Olshey needs to do what’s best for the team. Michael Jordan loved Doug Collins and didn’t want him gone, but Jerry Krause fired him to hire Phil Jackson. Steph Curry loved Mark Jackson but Bob Meyers fired him to hire Steve Kerr.
Agreed. Dame will fight to keep Stotts, but he won't leave because of the next coach unless Olshey hires a total downgrade. Problem is Olshey could very well do just that. If you fire Olshey, the new GM will fire Stotts, and most importantly we might put together a roster that can win in the playoffs.
Jordan and Curry we’re in the beginning stages of their careers when those firings took place. Lillard is over 30. Realizes his window is closing sooner, rather than later. But I agree Stotts needs to be fired. But do you make Lillard transparent in the coaching search to keep him happy? I dunno.
No, you don't. Dame has not proven to be a good GM, and if your goal is to win it all, you have to get a GM that is ELITE. If we get an elite GM, then Dame will be more than fine. The question you have to ask is: Will/can Chris McGowan and Jody Allen be able to make that hire?
