Clifford is stepping down

[MechaZain]

Cliff did us a solid and is leaving gracefully. Respect.

Seems like a legit HC candidate could wind up in Charlotte.  Lakers and Wizards also need a coach, but there are some big names floating out there.

Darvin Ham, Buddenholzer, JJ Reddick, Kenny Atkinson, Jerry Stackhouse…

Who ya like to *develop* this young team?

Roll the dice on whomever can build a culture here we've had enough of this loser mentality mess.

Also. Fug Kenny Atkinson

How do you feel about:

Steve Clifford

James Borego

Steve Clifford

Mike Dunlap

Paul Silas

Larry Brown

Sam Vincent

Bernie Bickerstaff

Paul Silas

Damn, Charlotte really is the only city I can recall that fires high-level people and later re-hires them and fires them again (Hurney, Clifford, Silas)

Let's hope to keep that kind of juju out of the mix this go around.

I'm trying to be optimistic here lol.

Honestly if the bring James borego back I won't even be mad.  My preference is JJ because why the hell not. Worked for the warriors 

[MillionDollarCam]

Redick would be great, he’s got a lot of respect around the league.

Lakers seem to want him as well so we’ll probably end up with Lee which isn’t a bad consolation prize.

Honestly give me Bud, dude has won a championship without an insanely stacked team, had 6 years where he won at least 1 playoff series, only 2 losing seasons and only missed the playoffs once in 10 seasons.

 

Also side note, I don't follow college ball or prospects much at all but on the surface it seems this draft sucks and the top 5-10 are pretty interchangeable -- do we even care that much about the draft lottery this year?

No no one cares about the draft this year.  Fat Anthony Bennett would probably go number one. Might as well pick some rando from south Sudan and see what happens

This draft is absolute dog poo.

Risacher is the only guy I’m interested in because he has a high upside but he could easily end up being a bust.

I don’t mind Castle, he seems like a do it all type of player but I’m not sure there’s a whole lot of upside there.

And then if we trade down, I’d take one of Knecht, Dillingham, or McCain.

Sarr is my #1 prospect.

 

After that I have Castle/Risacher.

 

The other prospects I'm just not high on.

Knecht would fit nice with Ball, Miller, Bridges, and Williams honestly.

Damn.

If that's true about Atkinson and trying to force assistants on him that alters my view of him some. Still a dick move what he did but we played ourselves.

But that ties into what we've already known about this franchise under Jordan. We didn't want to pay a coach what he's worth. It's crazy because it's such a 180 from the Panthers who will pay anything and still suck. But at least Tepper is willing to open the piggy bank. If these two guys who are the new owners continue with this way of operating we are pretty much doomed.
