I heard it was happening within the next two games, but our (well, some of us ) prayers were answered. JB has been ready for awhile.
They're all friends. Of course they're gonna circle the wagons for the guy. And I respect that. But he needed to go.
OFC other coaches will stand up for one of their own getting fired. They stood up even for one of the worse coaches of the NBA getting fired in Larry Drew who quite frankly should have been ousted after getting feathered for what he had been doing. And Magic has proven again and again that while he was a good player what he posts and says is worse than some of the trolls here on insight of the league.
Lol at Carlisle, he just mad that he can't throw a bunch of scrubs out against the Rockets and win. Lets remember the Mavs were on a B2B and decided that the Lakers would be a tougher win and rested guys against the Rockets lol.
I don't care about any potential coach's relationship with Harden. Honestly, I'd rather we'd traded Haren than fired McHale. Now that we've fired McHale, if Harden doesn't start playing D, fire (trade) Harden's lazy/drunk ass, too.

This coming from the man wanting to fire Morey for drafting Royce White and Dekker as his two biggest failures. You don't even rank the draft pick we gave up for Terrence Williams in your list. To me that was pretty bad too; we could have drafted Dennis Shroeder with that pick. You do know firing McHale and trading Harden are mutually exclusive events, right? Crawl back in your hole, troll.
