Head Coach thread

I don’t want MDA but if some posters here are right and an MDA hire means CJ is traded and Melo/Kanter are gone what’s the problem exactly? Those 3 moves alone would improve the D wouldn’t they?

 

Gives him more leverage in negotiations. With both teams.

 

Only 10 games, but Melo played more minutes under MDA in Houston than he did here under Stotts this year

 

Hopefully he’s an under the radar interview. Makes no sense if he’s not

 

there are multiple reasons, but id start with him being a proper coach who holds his players accountable, quite the opposite of terry stotts and he knows how to coach bigs (guy worked his magic with marc gasol), therefore he would probably be the best choice for nurk and collins... people shouldnt judge him by his sacramento tenure, they are mess and you cant fix that, simple as that, but he was unemployed at the time and took the job

i think the blazers would be the most talented team hes ever had, therefore it would be good opportunity for him to work his magic

 

cj mccollum shoot 9 3-pointers per game last season

he would fit in his system perfectly, a chucker that doesnt play defense (i.e. james harden)

 

from what ive read, he got fired by sacramento kings cause he had dispute with the front office

 

Given the track record of the Kings Front office, I don't see that being a negative

 

exactly and i think hell get the job somewhere sooner or later, but maybe his behaviour is standing in his way

hes still pretty young (47)

 

But Melo played more in his first season here than when he was in Houston. The reason why his mind went down was simply because we had more forwards we could use. Melo was literally only battling bazemore and Mario for mins and the of course Ariza once we traded for him. This year guys like RoCo, DJ, Little, RHJ, Hood, Powell, and Trent all contributed to his mins being reduced

 

Yeah, that was enough games for him to know that Melo should be cut. And he got cut.

 

So back to our shitty GM……

 

While here unknown coach Willie Green assistant from phoenix been interviewing for head coaches spot. It doesn't say which teams though.

 

That's true as well. But CJ still liked to shoot his mid range shots as well.

 

If MDA is our new coach, Melo won't want to come back... which I view as a positive.

 

Per woj Twitter

Clippers assistant Chauncey Billups and Spurs assistant Becky Hammon are among candidates who’ll get second interviews for the Portland Trail Blazers head coaching job this week, sources tell ESPN

it’s gonna be billups. No MDA yesss

 

ooh this is telling. If it was MDA, the hiring would have been announced.

But the wording is intriguing.

"among candidates " suggests there's more than these two.
