Hell yes!  This was who i wanted.  That's what I'm talking about.  LaMelo could ascend to MVP contention under D'Antoni.  And people rag on D'Antoni's defenses, but I guarantee you it will still be better than that garbage JB was rolling out there the last few years.  And at the very least, we will be consistent and structured.  And if he can bring in a defensive coordinator-type, like Ham that Lurk mentioned above, even better.  We are going to be a problem!

MDA is a good coach but old. My guess is he's coaching for a year or two then transitions to the front office to take Mitch's job becuase he wants to retire. He'll hand the coaching job over to whatever lead assistant he picks. Hopefully they groom a good one

Why would ham make a lateral move from a team that is much much better?  My problem with dantoni is he will only be here 3 seasons max

Bc it'd be with the promise to take over the reigns. Ham worked with Mike in Los Angeles and both were hired by Mitch.  Give him the label Asst Head Coach and etc.

Solid point, he’d get Charlotte’s job well before he’d get Milwaukee’s. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see Stoudemire join up with MDA again. Both worked together in Brooklyn under Nash.

He's being talked about now though as a head coach. Milwaukee continues to win his name will stay relevant if he doesn't get hired this year.  He comes here and it doesn't go well it will set him back a few years

I could definitely  see that scenario too or he could go elsewhere and flame put and get put even further back. I've seen both scenarios,  so no telling but I'm sure any talks with Mike have had  to be linked to an successor. I'd imagine his assistants at each stop have been mentioned.  If you look around  the league, it's not a bunch of positions open honestly.

      Slowing my roll on Ward (for now)

      Him and Sanders are the only QBs I would consider in the first round. I won’t be upset if we take Sanders, unlike some people on the board. Both have potential to be really good NFL QBs if the teams can develop them.  But as we have seen teams are not willing or are unable to now properly develop rookie QBs.

      I remember the last time we had a Cam at QB in Charlotte

      Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face.
