    It’s definitely time.

    Also, if they go cheap and go with Lucas I will be pissed. To be honest, I don’t want him part of the staff either. I get the feeling he never really supported Silas. It felt sneaky to me.

    Get an established, well respected coach to help make this franchise relevant again.

    Only one left to get rid off is KPJ.
    I did not mention him 'cause that's next to impossible.

    Got to drill a hole in the skull or the oil won't touch the grey matter.

    Well, of course the biggest problem of all is Fertitta. If he likes Stone, then that's that. Or maybe he will fire Stone and install his son as the HC/GM. :eek:

    That's not being fired, he's at the end of his contract so they let him go, not the same.

    Y’all think Tillman is also telling Stone he’s got a top pick and 60million to get us to the play in or he’s next to be replaced?

    This already tells me the boss is letting them know tanking time is done

    lemme see this blockhead Stone try to meddle again and cosplay like he’s actually a coach, like he’s Stone Van Gundy…you’re the GM, stay in your lane

    Yeah, with all that top end talent and veteran experience he had on the roster it's baffling how he was unable to get them to at least one conference final.

    Funny, I was going to say Nurse alienates his own players. Haven't heard **** from FVV or Barnes anymore, they also have a disgruntled Siakam. They failed this season.

    I want Udoka. He turned that second round team into contenders without a center or alpha dog. Atkinson is my second option.

    The names being floated have enough clout to keep Stone from meddling. They don’t have to come here.

    I’m Team Ime

    “Since the start of the season it’s kind of been a whirlwind of emotions,” Brown told The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn. “We’ve been able to reconcile and win games despite that loss of the presence of Ime Udoka. He was great in our locker room. He was a leader in our locker room. He held it down. He brought us together defensively, helped us get over that hump and get to the Finals. I want to see him back on his feet. I said it before and I’ll say it again.

    and here’s Tatum

    "Whatever happened, happened and that doesn't have anything to do with me but I can't take away the relationship me and him have and the impact that he had on me in that one season. I love Coach K. I love Brad. I love Joe. I love all those guys but just a different kind of a relationship I had with Ime. Probably like my most favorite coach I've had and that's not a knock on anybody.

    That hiring Mark Jackson line was not a compliment. I don't want MJ and that is my point. We agree.
