Sorry to hear it, CH. Hope it turns out to be for the best. Letting Westphal go was the easy thing to do and probably the right choice ... I didn't think they would trade DeMarcus Cousins, but I was hoping it could get to that point.
If Keith Smart is coaching for the next 2 years, the Kings really are tanking. Bastards will get another top 5 pick. Then, they leave Sacramento, due to poor fan support. Who says there is no such thing as tanking? Bull.
Sorry to hear but the headline news today was all about companies hiring again so I hope this works out for the best and you clean up on that severance. If I ever do run into you, drinks are on me...unless you bring that JVG guy with you...he's on his own.
Yep. The offense has to go through the big guys - Cousins and Chuck. Jimmer is perfect guy to have for kick outs. They need to build around Cousins and Jimmer then support them with pieces like Thornton and Hayes. Those are the only 4 guys on the roster who have value. Salmons, Outlaw, Hickson and Thomspon are useless. They should be able to land a solid piece in return for Evans and Hickson. Rudy Gay, Danny Granger?
Does Keith Smart get a raise or has he been "promoted" but with the same pay? The Suns cheapened out by doing this with their current coach.
Sorry to hear about the lay off, been there - lived through that, hopefully you won't have as long to wait as I did between jobs. As far as Westphal, you could tell he lost the team - not one of them seemed to do anything he said... except maybe Jimmer and Chuck... okay and maybe Salmons and Garcia... but the rest...nope I knew when all this crap came out about DeMarcus - and the fact that he didn't demand a trade so much as voice his frustration at the coach placing blame that Paul was gone. The gave effort tonight... let's see how long it lasts. Apparently even before Westphal was fired Chuck and Garcia (how strange to put those two together - UL and UK working together???) scheduled a players only meeting to talk about the team. We shall see how this all plays out.
I figure Westphal probably knew his time was shortly up. So he threw D Cousins under the bus to make peace with HIMSELF for his small bit of dignity.
