Brent Barry would be my choice. Though, it's partly because of my ignorance towards Prince in how he would assemble a roster. Does he have experience or any attributes that would lend itself to being a quality GM?
A team he assembled won a title. In his first year as GM. When the previous year they finished 24-58. What more do you want?
Stotts gone - not a bad coach but he had grown stale and there weren't signs of improvement. Neil gone - It was NOT just the coach you dumb&ss!! ......now CJ needs to be moved for a front court player. The four 6'3" guys that are taking nearly 70% of the shots is not a formula that will work.....EVER.
sorry for confusion....I meant the timing of the announcement I'd think Seattle has known the results of the investigation for a while and was probably going to fire Olshey at some point. 12 hours after a 31 point home loss to a 6-14 team may have been optimal timing
memphis has been hitting on nearly every single draft pick the past few yrs, even late first round ones. they also made a decent coaching hire and are building a great team of the future. but their defense has been very subpar this season with largely the same roster they had last year. i like that chauncey and tayshaun have a connection though. that synergy between coach/FO has proven to be important.
You know what, for being such a secretive asshole, I don't feel bad about him not getting any hints. He sure never gave us ANYTHING as a GM. Fucking dickbag go fuck yourself Olshey and get the fuck out. Yeah, I have no animosity towards him at all.
that would make sense if they thought this news was going to be received poorly. the city has been on pins and needles waiting for this announcement for a month now. i think it was purely coincidental and they were simply waiting for the friday afternoon (eastern) news dump. this is how nearly every major news has dropped this year with this team.
too bad the Vulcans seem like really questionable ownership I'd wonder if James Jones would like to escape from Sarver. But probably not as he'd probably like to be there if the Suns win the championship
