    After all the moves that have been made, if Aldridge does not come back, is Terry the right guy for this roster? We brought him in because we wanted to run an offense similar to the Mavs with Dirk. We have added quite a few guys that do not fit that system.

    Is now the time, with virtually a brand new roster, to go after a different coach?

    Where's Larry Brown when you need him. He'd be perfect for these pups.

    I've been very happy with Terry. A coaching change could be required, but I don't think we look into that till we see what type of schemes Stotts uses with this new roster.

    Yes.

    Stotts did a good job with a roster built to his specifications. You could even argue he got them to over-achieve. The new roster couldn't run his offense against a high school team.

    I'd say give him a year but I'd love to give Tyronn Lue a shot.

    Ime Udoka may be another guy I'd consider. At least for an interview.

    I don't know if Stotts really wants this kind of roster. He did what he could with the previous one, and not too shabby.

    If you're looking to win games and make the playoffs through energy and turn guys into stars, Thibodeau is out there.

    Refer to my top free agent targets..

    Thibodeau

    Let him run them into the ground for a year or two, teach them some fucking defense.

    Then fire him

    Lue might even bring enough cache amongst current players to draw talent to the team. He is big time respected by LeBron and that gets the admiration from the rest of the league. But drawing him would be tough because I think he's sitting pretty to become head coach of a LeBron team one day if he says with the Cavs.

    Money brings coaches. Allen has money. I'd give Lue a 5/25 or larger.

    Lue would be a great coach for Dame too, IIRC he taught T-Mac how to deal with double teams and zones in Orlando. Guy was born to be a coach

    Terry Stotts will adjust to the new roster just fine. He'll be fine.

    Said it before, bring in Thibbs to be a bona fide defensive coordinator, pay him like a rock star and let Stotts run the offense..championship duo

    Stotts took a mediocre team and make it a top 5 offense.
    Then he took the same pathetic defense team and made them top 10 defense.

    Then said team got injured, so yeah Stotts sucks!?!?!?!?!

    Stotts is probably asking himself if this is the team for him...It'll be interesting to see what the Blazers do...what players we get

    Didn't say that he sucks. Asked if his system would work with this roster as it is.

    He started with a mediocre team, made them into a top 10 offense and defense
    We now have a mediocre team, Stotts will.....

    Let me more clear. Neil would think this is a ridiculous question. This isn't a fantasy league where you change coaches willy nilly.
