    This probably puts simons and little in a more tradable situation now too…
    Who knows how Cronin values those guys

    Hey I'm good if they all go. Just make sure they have an ownership group that actually cares about the team.

    I wonder what he did that put the investigation over the edge.

    Imagine twerking for an asshole just because he gives you the Tony Snell signing 75 seconds before the other guy. (Im talking about Woj)

    I'm weird on simons. We need a decent playmaking backup PG and he's that. But, we also have other holes to fill.

    Little I would hate to lose, but what is his ceiling, really?

    I dont know his ceiling, but I do feel confident he'll hurt himself trying to touch it.

    Shams says they’re beginning the process of finding a permanent person immediately. I’m hoping they find someone by new year. I’m not worried about evaluation time for the new guy, you only need to watch this team play three or four games to get it lol. Hopefully a CJ trade is not far behind.

    I'm not second questioning the move. It needed to be made and I fully support the investigation. Just saying that everything is a big mess right now. Loyal or not to Olshey this could be what makes Dame say it's not worth waiting out our current turmoil.

    Who ever next GM is he will have a lot a work to do to install a roster to meet the coaches style of play. I don't how much power this active GM will have we have to wait and see. The guy I don't what is Danny the ex Boston Celtics GM. Need be a guy that's comes from successful franchise. Brent Barry is name been thrown out there and now Prince two young guys but also have looked at guys that's in top right now. How about a GM coming out golden state and maybe Atlanta they been drafting very well. Something to think about and do you need hire someone by next year draft.

    Lmao. My hunch is Brent Barry.

    The nice thing is the glaring holes are so obvious, implementation of moves should be rather easy.

    God, fuck olshey. Worst GM we have ever had. At one point there was competition for that spot, but now, he's the clear #1. Fucking dickpunch.

    I was thinking more along the lines of taping someone's butt cheeks together like Emilio Estevez in The Breakfast Club.

    Which is why I think they'll be a shakeup of the roster - a big one - within 2 months of hire for the new GM. CJ should be gone by the all star break if they care at all.

    Brent Barry or Tayshaun Prince would be great moves....I just hope they avoid the old guys and bring in some new thinking...I don't want Ainge or Dunleavy, etc.....someone from Chauncey's era would be great

    Agreed. Barry should be a candidate, not because of any local ties, but because he works for a well run organization.

    yeah, didn’t they interview Barry for head coach? The familiarity, even if limited, will help him. I’m really intrigued by Prince though. Have read a lot of good stuff about his time in Memphis and you know there would be a healthy collaboration with Billups.
