    Warriors want him as lead assistant to replace Luke Walton.

    Nobody can truthfully fill you in on him because no one knows anything about him except he's not Mike D'Antoni.

    Like J.B. Bickerstaff, he's a highly respected assistant.
    Like J.B. Bickerstaff, he's the son of a former NBA coach.
    "He graduated from Brown with a double major in Organizational Behavior and Management and in Sociology."

    Open your wallet and pay these two people, Alexander. Silas and Hollins, please. They aren't Pringles.

    Yeah lol

    Personally though, i think JB could have been a little bit better, i didn't understand why he wasn't more brave in his rotations at the end, i think he should have take some risks looking at the situation...but, i always thought that he was just a little part of the problem this season...the roster, the players, the chemistry issues...that was just a total mess, and too much to just give all the blame to him so, i still think in a normal situation he could have done a good/decent job.

    The longer this drags on, the more I think Les can't be dissuaded from D'Antoni. I've rolled over like 3 mornings in a row now dreading that Bleacher Report notification. :(

    No kidding. This is having a negative impact on my personal wonderfulness.

    Silas and Hollins, please!

    This alleged GS swoop in is almost worse than us hiring Pringles straight out:(

    It would be the first one that was apparently ACTUALLY under consideration by Les (sadly) that got taken out from under us - as opposed to Vogel & some of the others. Basically adds another level to the ownership's ineptitude.

    With GS in the mix hopefully this spurs Le$ into action. No one is trying to hire MDA accept you. That should tell you something.

    I was completely ok with giving JBB a chance when they did. The fact that he failed miserably at it doesn't stop me from wanting to give Silas a shot.

    They have to start somewhere. To me, and I'll definitely admit that I don't know much about him, the fact that he can do a good job of relating to the players then that already putS him miles ahead of D'Antoni.

    He went to Brown which means he is a smart guy. The opposite of JB who was a dumbass. We need more intelligence here.
