    Welcome aboard big fella.

    Apparently he is free throws coach. Hrmmm. At least he would have been cheap for that role.

    Honestly I do not like names such as Hornacek or Diop next to a rookie coach.

    Maybe a top coach, those do not instill any confidence.

    Even a Jason Kidd is a more resounding name.

    No Brase or Gunning?

    Disappointing.

    Not sure why we wouldn't keep Brase. He's 6'6". Last I read about Gunning, he was writing a book for his non-profit or something.

    i'm actually quite pleased w/ the new coaching staff hires, especially given that tilbitch was never going to pay for big name assistants

    Weaver is a great hire. He’ll be a head coach one day

    Diop played 11 seasons so he brings the cred. It's not every NBA player that can last that long with these stats:

    .427 FG%
    .467 FT%
    3.7 RBG
    0.4 ASG
    0.2 SPG
    2.0 PPG

    He also finished 14th in BPG one year.
