I think Jordan has been taking a lot of heat lately and even if it was the Bobcats intention to tank for the season, somebody had to be the scapegoat. This is one of those situations where Jordan is able to deflect the blame and to keep the media from tearing him apart.
Bwahahahahaha he's talking about getting Patrick Ewing to coach them. Dude just keeps on making terrible decisions. He needs to get out of this.
I think it's a great strategy. Hire an unknown for a year, see if he has what it takes to coach, and if not, you tank again and then lure Phil Jackson out of retirement with Anthony Davis and Shabazz Muhammed.
Judging by my assessment of his coaching while he was with the Rockets, I would say they won't have to tank after he getsaholt of 'em.
What proven coach would want to coach there knowing that if you win too many games, your fired. And if you lose too many games, your fired.
