Fizdale most recently served as the head coach for the Memphis Grizzlies where he led the Grizzlies to the Western Conference playoffs in his first season as the head coach with a 43-39 record. Fizdale was relieved of his position this year after the Grizzlies started 7-12 and Fizdale publicly criticized Grizzlies center Marc Gasol.

I'd love this hire. I was reading an article about all of the potential coaches on the market last night and WISHING we would fire Clifford so that we could get in on them. Fizdale, Blatt, Stackhouse and a few others ALL sounded very promising and that is certainly better than anything Cliff was going to provide. The way he ruined Monk's rookie season over ego or stubbornness was ludicrous. He may be the world's best assistant coach be he is crap as a head coach. Maybe he could do something with a team like golden state or the cavs but... hell WHO COULDN'T!?!?!?

Fizdale would be a solid hire, but let's be real here. Of the current head coach openings, Charlotte is probably the least desirable since we are loaded with awful contracts and have a late lottery selection. New York and Orlando each have a better stable of younger players and will both have a higher pick. I think it's likely Fizdale will have his choice of wherever he'd like to go. My guess is that it won't be Charlotte. Would love to be wrong.

I like Stackhouse as a candidate a lot though. He seems to be a very realistic get.

Looks like the Hornets have honed in on Fizdale, Messina, and Udoka.

Personally, I'd prefer 1. Fizdale, 2. Messina, 3. Udoka

I'll note that it was also reported that Stackhouse is a contender for the Hornets vacant head coaching position, however, apparently the Magic are the most interested team in Stackhouse.

I agree with that order. Will honestly be happy with Fiz or Messina

I find it interesting that Spurs fans are openly and legitimately upset that Udoka is being considered. Most of them would much rather have Messina leave than Udoka. I don't know much about either, but makes me wonder....

      Little worried about Jarvy Shoulder and that torn cuff, it's needed surgery for 2 years now and he's gonna play with it injured again next season.    I like the toughness but would definitely prefer it to be fixed. He's an intritical player on the team going forward.    Also I was high on pain pills last time I wrote about saving cap space but I didn't go into detail cause I wouldn't have been able to do so. "still on a ton of pain medication but not as nearly as many, think I'm down to 23 pills a day from 32 a few days ago, 18 of them are for pain management in some form or another."     But I digress let's get to the point I was trying to make in my last post about saving, I'll now use Jarvis as an example.    Let's say the canes spend 23m of the 28m in space they have available. Then have Jarvis get surgery and put him on LTIR at the start of the regular season.  You let the cap space sit til the trade deadline. At the deadline that cap space would have accural on it and the team can use that space and spend 24m on incoming salary for the rest of the season. Let's say they bring in 5 players and send out two. "player A has an 8m AAV contract" he'd cost Carolina 4m the rest of the season. Player B makes 10 "cost of 5. So forth and so forth.  Using that accural system and the Jarvis LTIR, the Canes could then go into the playoffs with a healthy Jarvis and be 19m over the cap legally for a cup run. The more cap space available at the start of the season, the larger the accural would be at the trade deadline.    That was the first part of what I was going to try and articulate the other day but I'm on 35mg of oxy every 6 hours plus ketorolac and two other pain pills and another for kidney spasms.    Have a wonderful night everyone

      Will history repeat itself and Carolina make it to NFCCG this year?
