    I like Wilt Chamberlain too, and he's about as available in trade.

    I remember when the Blazers got rid of Nate McMillan fans were so excited to have Stotts. Fans were so happy that Nate was gone. Now look at him in Hot-lanta.

    Good. Stotts or dantoni are both horrible coaches so that would make me happy.

    No way....what has he accomplished with talent since their Cship? 11 years playoffs 6 times bounced first round. 5 years missed.
    Like many coaches that were fortunate enough to win the whole thing, its buys them membership into the great coach association for years. Its not like he hasnt had talent since the cship either.
    He only as good as the players he has and thats average today at best.

    Hopefully his marriage ending also coincides with his career ending.

    I remember everyone wanting to fire Nate but I don’t remember people being excited about Stotts. People were underwhelmed and calling him a placeholder.

    Well is already exciting off season and the playoffs haven't even finished yet. 7 coaches positions now open. Number players not stepping up in the playoffs so will there some good block buster trades that will probably will come up.

    I think it's clear that Middleton is so much better on both ends than CJ, that no trade would make sense for Milwaukee, no matter how many other pieces we included.

    Well after that performance I don't think we're getting Middleton for CJ and picks anytime soon.
