Don't mind those two sticking around. Either would have been a better HC than Silas. Sullivan would be a great get.
Keep Abdelfettah, let Lucas ride off into the sunset. Only room for one hard ass and that’s Ime. Woo.

I reported Sunday about Dallas’ interest in hiring Borrego to join Jason Kidd’s staff, but sources say he was already being pursued by the New Orleans Pelicans before the Mavericks had an opening … with other teams (presumed to be Houston and Brooklyn) also said to be circling. New Rockets coach Ime Udoka and Nets coach Jacque Vaughn have both worked with Borrego previously.” — Marc Stein
A big NO to Lucas. They don't need any of the Porter coddlers. He needs to sink or swim without a "lifejacket".
We need to bring a HOF player who has never been an assistant before to conduct our practices. Someone with a fresh view on things. I'm recommending Allen Iverson.
Lucas was here before Silas, and his league connections are probably valuable for free agents and player relationships. I think coddling KPJ was either a Silas or more likely Stone mandate. We shall see how Ime adjusts that.
