    SVG is underrated. I think he'll do well there.

    Anything is better than MO Cheeks. I think he'll do well there.

    I remember taking about SVG & JVG before stotts got hired an hardly anyone wanted them in Portland. It's funny how when people like that go to another group people start to talk about how great they are.

    Shocking. Let me guess, this was done right before Stotts finalized his deal and got hired so you could say this exact thing.

    I wonder if he can turn Drummond into the next Dwight, I think he'll do lots of cocaine there.

    He should do well but I would not be excited if I was a fan of the Pistons and he brought Otis Smith as GM. He is mediocre at best imo. I personally think it is always a bad idea if a coach gets too much say or gets to pick their boss essentially.

    Steve Kerr picked GS over the Knicks. Good choice.

    Develop Monroe and Drummond. Offense and Defense. Surround them with shooters and athletic defenders, could be on to something.

    I can never remember which Gundy is which. Regardless, they're going to be a good team next year.
