    What if Jody and Neil are in a power struggle that ends in Neil getting fired? Would be sweet

    It looks like most of the articles about Hammon are referencing a report from Marc Stein. That tweet from sports business radio claims to have sources but I doubt it.

    I would take Hammon and a new GM in a heartbeat.

    same franchise that's lost every franchise player and coach...they even lost Monty Williams, ...they have a shitty arena and facilities I've read...people don't stay there..they have a fucked up culture .. .only plus is great food in New Orleans...Portland has great food and a way better franchise player

    I seriously wonder if Barry wasn't brought in to talk to about Neil's job more than coaching

    And most likely is most mundane. Still have interviews scheduled and won't choose until they are done.

    Neil should have been fired for bungling the LMA situation.

    He should have been fired for what he did in 2016.

    He should have been fired for wasting our picks on Zach Collins.

    He should have been fired along with Stotts after we lost to the Pels.

    He should have been fired WITH Stotts after the Denver series.

    How is this dude still here?

    If Neil hires a coach tomorrow that isn’t Billups people will second guess him that he made a reactive hire. If Billups is the guy, then waiting doesn’t matter. If it’s someone else, Neil looks like he conducted the search and got the person he wanted all along.

    Wrong. Neil doesn’t care what fans think of him. Neil cares deeply what his peers think

    Milwaukee was 9th in defensive rating in the regular season, and they are 1st in the playoffs. I’m comfortable with my man crush on Darvin Ham’s defense

    I just don't know why it's taking so God damned long to announce it. Even if it is Billups they could announce it. They don't have to wait.
