    I wouldn't want Mike D'Antoni and his no defense/run and gun/can't win in the playoffs system. He's like a worse version of Stotts in my opinion unless the goal is regular season wins. I know he's won more in the playoffs but he's had much much more talent to work with throughout his career. That being said, fire Stotts... just don't hire D'Antoni.

    Is Rivers that good of a coach?
    He was more than fortunate with Celts and now has a loaded team yet doesn't seem to inspire his team.
    Way overrated imo.

    If this is the case and with D'Antoni's penchant for offense only players maybe we could get Oladipo, McConnell and some draft considerations (future picks and/or this year's second rounder). I know Oladipo comes with risks (injury and having to re-sign him) but he's a much better fit next to Dame plus we get a good back up PG in McConnell. Then maybe use our whole MLE on potential because I think we could get Thon Maker, Josh Jackson and Derrick Jones Jr. to come in at an even split of the MLE which would be like 3.2 million a piece and hopefully we could sign them for two or three years and at least one or two of them would make huge gains even by the time the NBA is playing again.

    Agreed, way overrated. Couldn’t even get the CP3, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan Clippers to the conference finals.
