Will he bring Ayton with him? lol

Gambo saying Darvin Ham might be the head Defensive assistant for Bud

Gotta have a fall guy if it doesn't work out

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Ditto

If you get a young coach, you have to ditch Durant. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but the only way you get this little 3 to work is a veteran head coach

I'd be okay with Bud, liked him slightly more than Vogel when we were hiring last time. Still, I can't see that it will matter much if we're still riding with our Big Three. I don't care how tough the HC is, no one is turning this pillow soft team into a physical juggernaut. We are prey in a league filled with predators.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Why? she's another pop guy, uh gal. And deeply respected league wide.

I think there’s inherent risk with…

A) being the first club to hire a female head coach

B) placing a first time female head coach with kd and book feels like a setting her up for failure

C) I’m skeptical that spoiled male athletes are going to be respectful of a female head coach

From a pure coaching perspective I think she’s likely a homerun. Pop lineage. Win summer league. Two wnba championships.

But - as much as it still sucks - I am skeptical the nba is ready. I’d love to be proven wrong.

I like JJ, but this sounds right, I don't think JJ would be a viable solution to coach such a veteran team.

You never know. Kerr did alright with that Warriors squad. Won a championship or four.

 

[Superbone]

All signs point to Budenholzer.

You must have checked your Magic 8-Ball.

You never know. Kerr did alright with that Warriors squad. Won a championship or four.

He was an executive before a coach though. It’s not like his previous job was a podcaster.

I wonder if anyone else with a coaching vacancy this offseason will have an interest in Vogel? I mean obviously no one who plans on being competitive next season. But teams like Toronto, Washington, Atlanta, or Brooklyn with no chance who just need a warm body to fill their (potential) coaching vacancies? It will be interesting to see.

EIGHT figures per year?? What?

Gambo is saying this isn't the only change coming.

EIGHT figures per year?? What?

So at least 10 million per year. My guess when the numbers come out he will be one of the top 5 paid coaches in the league.

I guess Ishbia really is willing to throw money at the team's problems, where he is able.

Now go throw some at the GM problem, Matt.

1000%.

James Jones found magic once. However, the formula is not always the same. If only he realized that in the 2020 draft.

 

[Proteus]

Glad Vogel was finally fired! I was a bit worried that we were going to keep him given how long the decision was taking.

Now if only our roster problems were easy to solve.
