Expected decision.

LOL ...

Probably need to do a couple of trades to change the roster as well ...

 

[Osmodiar]

Harsh IMO. well get another gig in no time.

BTW ESPN reports Terry Porter is now favourite for the Phoenix Job (apparently Steve Kerr is a massive fan of the 'egg head') which is good news, Porter has always been one of my fave NBA players ever, and he was done by harshly in Milwaukee ..

Any chance of Flip being hired to replace Mitchell at Toronto? Mitchell is a pretty average coach, would love to see what a good one could do with the team.

They need a change but I'm not sure what it is..

Their core is still good enough to challenge for chip and they got a few good youngsters..

They're one of the most frustrating teams..

Detroit are on the of the biggest waste of talents i have ever seen, how the hell they haven't won more then 1 title and not made the finals the last 3yrs is a joke, just look at that roster, it looks like at times they feel like they can turn it on whenever but they can't, pretty much 5 all stars in the starting line up in the East there results r pathetic, anyone could coach that team to the finals so i doubt the coach is to blame, the players need to have a hard look at themselves because they have wasted there chance at a legacy thats for sure!

 

[Gridlock'd]

I want Stuckey.

They really only have 1, maybe 2 legitimate all stars in the starting line up. Prince, Wallace are not legit and Rip is really borderline.

Why would they want Flip Saunders then?
