  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
I voted Casey, but I could see a lot of those guys being let go. McHale is probably the safest

George Karl? Terry Stotts? Maybe Saunders found a guy to coach the Timberwolves? Maybe  Phil Jackson wants more than a yes-man as the Knicks' coach? Maybe the Mavericks fire Carlisle and keep Rondo? Maybe Spoelstra? Dragic threatened to leave if the pace of their offense doesn't increase.

"Nobody sees it coming" makes me think it's not Casey or Wittman or anyone else who probably deserves walking papers.

I'd say Thibs, but everyone knows it's coming.

Stotts is an interesting idea.

No Doc Rivers option?   ;D

...I go Stotts, I guess, to appease Aldridge or something.  Smart money's on another rumor, though.

I'll say Dave Joerger. Wasn't he on thin ice with their front office last season?

I put the 1 vote for Carlisle.  He has had problems with several players.  Rumor is Monta Ellis doesn't want to resign there.  Rondo said if he stays I go.  I'm pretty sure Mayo didn't want to be there and they have been able to attract ZERO big name free agents to pair with Dirk.  Cuban goes out and gets a Rondo only to see it work out terribly because of the coach.

Doc Rivers -- done a terrible job as GM. Has effected his team's performance on the court. He was hired by previous ownership. New owner will want his own man + to correct clear problems in current leadership.

I hope its Carlisle, dude has been overrated IMO. Hasn't gotten out of the first round since they won the title in 2011.

That's exactly why I hope it's NOT Carlisle.  We own their pick next year!  ;)
