    Not sure how it can be considered a "major shakeup" with Billups contract having 3 games left.

    I'd tend to think the Blazers will just promote an assistant or get a young college coach. Primarily they will want a cheaper contract than Billups.

    If the Blazers think a new coach would earn more - I could see them just going with the one year option to bring Billups back.

    If anything Billups would be the one pushing to part ways with the Blazers more than the Blazers wanting to cut him. Getting the wins he did with the pathetic Blazers roster this year was one of the more impressive coaching jobs in the league. He'd immediately be a top candidate on all NBA head coach job openings.

    Nice play, but you oversold it.

    Yeah, you'd think a human being would have just grabbed the ball instead of batting it back to the other team...

    That's measured by TOTAL. Guess who our season leader in +/- per game is?

    Small sample size, but it’s gotta be Thybulle, right?

    according to NBA.com; +/- per game:

    Thybulle +0.6
    Walker +0.3
    Clingan 0.0
    Scoot -0.6
    Banton -0.7
    Murray -0.9
    Timelord -0.9
    Avdija -1.1
    Reath -1.2
    Camara -1.9
    Sharpe -2.1
    Simons -3.1
    Ayton -4.1
    Grant -4.3

    then there is the on/off net team/opponent rating:

    Thybulle +5.5
    Walker +4.8
    Clingan +4.7
    Avdija +4.0
    Scoot +3.6
    Camara +2.1
    Murray +1.6
    Banton +1.0
    Sharpe -0.1
    Simons -3.9
    Grant -4.7
    Ayton -4.9
    Reath -5.6

    then there is the traditional BPM:

    Matisse Thybulle 4.8
    Robert Williams 3.0
    Deni Avdija 2.0
    Dalano Banton 0.0
    Anfernee Simons -0.1
    Duop Reath -0.3
    Toumani Camara -0.3
    Donovan Clingan -0.6
    Jabari Walker -0.7
    Deandre Ayton -0.8
    Shaedon Sharpe -1.6
    Jerami Grant -1.7
    Scoot Henderson -2.2
    Kris Murray -3.0

    obviously, all of these will be impacted by rotations, average minutes, and which games played vs missed

    there really needs to be some kind of mitigation gauge for minutes differentials. Camara has played 2460 minutes; Walker 672; Thybulle 223

    by the way, Simons-Ayton-Grant combine for 95.2M in salary next season

    Mike Malone fired in Denver. Another coach I’d rather have than the Conductor
