    Possibly….but I can guarantee you coaches (and others) have been fired without investigations.

    Should have just fired his ass when we let Terry go. At the very least we wouldn't have to hear @THE HCP go on about how "it wasn't the roster" or whatever the bullshit was that Neil said.

    If only it worked like that. They do their OWN investigation because they know the accusations would've come out anyway and they want to get ahead of it. And what do you know? The investigation shows that he deserves a tap on the wrist.

    Olshey is their guy.

    Jerry West politely but firmly requests that you refrain from putting his name anywhere near Ainge's.

    Their own investigation wouldn't be public, IMO.
    Olshey is as good as gone.

    Wrongful termination doesn't happen in the NBA. They're allowed to fire without cause whenever they want, they just have to pay the balance of the contract. The investigation is only to cover the organizations ass if they want to get out of paying him or more likely they want to make sure everyone knows that Olshey is a bad apple so if he gets hired by another organization the shit he pulls can't come back to bite Vulcan.

    Darren Erman is an assistant coach for NY now I think and been in the NBA a long time. Got fired for recording Mark Jackson secretly. No investigation just fired and moved on. The shady stuff that goes on is incredible. No investigations.

    Your tears when he is fired will be delicious.

    For someone who hates 3/4th of the team you sure do love the wrong person.

    billups said that it's unfortunate timing considering the upcoming brutal schedule to have this hanging over their heads (this was after the laker game).

    I think dame/chauncey would do a good job insulating the team a bit from letting it affect the gameplay much. But the distraction of having guys answer questions about it pre/post game would be hard to avoid.

    waiting to return home to address the roster would make sense I suppose.

    It's not like we are winning anyway. Maybe it would help to hear it. Feel like a fresh start.

    It's also not like we're reeling and playing very poorly. The last two teams we played were on 4 and 5 game win streaks, respectively when we played them. If we lose against Houston, I'd be alarmed, but nearly everything coming from both Lillard and Chauncey has been optimistic even with the losses.

    Through the first 20 games, I expected us to be somewhat close to .500 given our tough schedule. I don't think we're that far away where we need a fresh start.

    Who was that Kim guy that Olshey fired? What was that for again? Saying LaMarcus was going to leave?
