Do y’all believe Harden’s excuse after the game that he paused because he thought a foul had been committed? I don’t buy it. I think he was just showing Johnson up, but hell, if you can back it up, I guess go for it!

Rivers had peak Chris Paul, Deandre Jordan, and Blake Griffin to work with. The hard part was done. He was too incompetent of a GM to put together the role players and bench to become a serious contender. lmao

Really, we don’t want this guy anywhere near NY even if he’s a decent coach. He’s in a photo with Isiah for worst GM ever. Any input he has at all would be terrible.

Messina or Blatt would be my wet dream but, then again, I’m strongly Euro-biased (Messina was the coach of my hometown powerhouse when I was a kid and boy, that guy just knows basketball).

Budz would be great.

Rivers or Jackson make like no sense, which, you know… Dolan’s razor.

I’m biased on Ettore Messina and the Budenholzer’s rumors could be… just rumors,
but I’m really scared thinking of “Demons Hunter” Jackson patrolling the lines next year…
I’d rather have a wizard than an exorcist…

Did anyone read Zach Lowe’s piece about Drazen Petrovic?
The part about his working (shooting) routine is exactly what Frank needs to do this summer…

@41 MILW is a good bet for Budz, even NO (coaching AD must be a dream, DMC not so much), probably we’re not in the first tier of his choices…

And thanks for the info, Max, about the Budz rumors. Fascinating to hear. I wonder if he’d be interested in the New Orleans gig. Maybe Milwaukie?

If Rivers is the coach he WILL have some say in the personnel decisions. All coaches do even when don’t have the final word. Rivers is so pathetically bad at personnel decisions I would gladly suffer through a couple of years of Mark Jackson to keep Rivers away from NY.

Rivers + Mills could be a monumental disaster of epic proportions even if Perry is reasonably competent.

Mark Jackson would at least develop the young players, get them to play defense, and get them to work hard while he was screwing up the offense and preaching about God in the locker room. We could easily undo any damage he did with another coaching switch. It would take years to undo the damage Mills and Doc could do.

Budz made THJ play defense. He’s essentially a wizard.

@Max

Thanks. That’s pretty interesting and it’s something I thought could occur when they hired that new GM stripping him of personnel power last summer. I’m not sure New York would be a situation he’d want if he’s seeking more say in personnel, but if he was interested he’d immediately jump to the front of the queue. Budenholzer has some flaws as far as matching up tactically in individual game situations, as most coaches have, but as far as creating a competent and consistent infrastructure on both ends and developing talent he’s as good as anyone.
