<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">I have no problem with Bucks general manager Larry Harris firing Terry Porter. The problem is Harris should've done it back on May 6, when he smarmily placed his arm around the coach during a creepy press conference to declare his unconditional support for Porter, that they were in it together, that the fellow lame ducks would sink or swim as one, and yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah. To come back and fire Porter six weeks later makes Harris look bad and indecisive at a time when the Bucks, No. 1 draft pick notwithstanding, cannot afford to look bad and indecisive. During another senseless news conference Wednesday, Harris defended his decision by saying a man has the right to change his mind. Fine, but this is a franchise with a fragile feel about it, with no lease agreement in a building that's killing them, and now they have one more ill-timed blemish just before the draft and the opening of free agency. Naturally, Harris dismissed such a characterization, saying the only thing that matters is whom "I hire and how that guy does in his first season." Exactly. Harris extricates himself nicely from this stench of duplicity if he holds another media gathering in the next few days to introduce Flip Saunders, the best candidate available, as the Bucks' next coach.</div> Source He is absolutely right, the decision should have been made 6 weeks ago. At least Porter could have had some options to land a job somewhere else. The TWolves would have given him a look, and I'm sure he'd be a frontrunner for the Portland job. Dirty pool by the Bucks.
