    It is that simple.
    His mistakes are just insane when you thinking;
    Evan Turner is not a bad player. He's a decent role player, but he cant have the paper he has. He cant ''ran'' the second unit, he needs to be a guy who come off the bench and make plays, but not the major guy. He gave to much money to him and Stotts is kind of forced to put him to play a lot because of that.

    Seth curry is not better than Shabazz Napier.
    Ed Davis should have stay and we could play him with collins. Meyers is just a waste. Shame that he plays and we are in 2018.
    The ''not worst'' contract he gave was Crabbe, which was the only one i really was not that bad at all, because AC was a young player and was shooting the ball very well when he was here. Im not saying i wish he was here now.

    Stauskas is a up when you compare to Pat, but not that much. Pat is having a great year in MIL.
    Our roster is fucking broken. But we still can fix this if he makes moves. Do something. Call Cleveland, love is open. Just try something, a trade, moves. We cant stand if this without any change.

    Gotta agree that his moves have been underwhelming. He’s a decent drafter and can find some bargain bin values, but after that, there’s not a whole lot that he’s done to really take the team to the next level.

    He's been the problem. This is not a new development

    Allen was a very good owner. If he is alive things could be different... I dont think we need to blown up. But we do need changes

    After last season Allen was determined to fire stotts, he was held by Dame and Neil. At least more pressaure would be on the table because he was unhappy with the team.

    Dame siding with Olshey. This is not encouraging.

    I posted this on the fire Stotts thread but it applies here also.

    Here are the five options we have:

    Option A: Fire Stotts, Assistant takes over for the rest of the year, and team responds well.
    Option B: Fire Stotts, Assistant takes over for the rest of the year, and team responds poorly, then at end of season hire college coach. (I say go after Mark Few)
    Option C: Fire Neil
    Option D: Neil makes a needle moving trade
    Option E: Make minor moves and stay in mediocrity

    I don't really think Stotts is a huge issue, but cleaning house of the decision makers needs to be done.

    Olshey, Stotts, McGowen (I just don't like him) all need to be gone

    Neil is a stain to this franchise that will never come clean.

    This will happen soon enough.

    Olshey needs to go, and he probably will this summer. The new guy will bring in his coach and do a roster overhaul. Ownership will throw a wrench into this but the writing is on the wall regardless.

    I don't think McGowan will be going anywhere unless we get a new owner. The team has been pretty good financially since he took over (even if he's an ass).

    If Allen was a very good owner then why did he denie the Atlanta Hawks talk to Neil Olshey?

    Is this pure conjecture on your part or do you have any links or references to this? I never heard of this and I live in Ptown.
