    That's still a decision that many believe Neil did not make.

    all the time

    drafting Simons
    Signing Hezonja
    Signing Giles
    Signing Aminu
    Drafting Dame
    Trading for Whiteside
    Trading for Afflalo

    I mean these were all moves that were talked about on some level, media or on here, before they happened. He’s not that slick.

    The Whiteside trade sure came out of nowhere when it happened.

    I also don't remember Aminu being widely talked about before he was signed. I'm not so sure about your list lol

    hiring Billips or MDA just became way more difficult

    Can’t believe he’s stepping down… especially after Cuban threw shade at the teams that let their coaches go - “The grass isn’t always greener” and “they have a winning coach now, why look for a new one.”

    He’d be a great coach in Portland!

    Woj was hinting at the whiteside trade a week or so before it happened. I remember because I posted specifically about it on here

    i like Carlisle, and he has history in Portland (was an asst from 94-97).

    but i worry that there might be too much similarity with him and terry.

    Hiring the boss of your ex-coach is definitely an upgrade. We need an experienced coach to lead us. I am all for Carlisle.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Carlisle ends up in Boston. He played there and won championships there.

    Carlisle has a pretty lousy playoff track record with the one exception so not super excited at that prospect.

    Yeah.... I kinda wonder if he bailed because he wanted to go to another team and there was a specific opening. Boston would make A LOT of sense.

    That Mavs position looks pretty nice compared to ours.
