According to Rod Boone, JB's firing was Kupchak's decision and MJ signed off on it. The article also goes into talking about potential new hires a little. Open the link in a private window to get around the pay wall.

 

 

 

 

 

That all sounds about right. I can't for the life of me understand why McDaniels got 20 minutes a game playing with very little energy, and JT Thor would come in randomly for a couple minutes here and there and get everyone pumped up with a block or dunk etc.

All this is why we shouldn't jump to conclusions. I hope that this is what happened, it makes more sense and is much better for all involved. 

It is clear that JB's message stopped getting through and some players need to be let go. Keep the core intact and go from there.

Yeah so what about his reputation for turning teams around and leading them to playoff victories? He developed our young players and then failed at almost everything after that.

It was the correct decision to move on.

At best he developed Miles a bit, Melo is naturally talented but don't see any coaching improvement from last year. He then proceeded to play mostly journeyman vets over Thor/Kai/Bouknight who Kupchak is probably frustrated are not getting their developmental minutes. I kinda wish he hadn't gotten Plumlee or Trez for the year so he would have been forced to play/develop the young guys instead of stick with stubborn safe rotations. Lazy coaching in my opinion

Yup when no one wants to block or rebound and you have JT Thor/Kai wasting away on the bench it made no sense to me. Isiah Thomas is cool but you just drafted Bouknight in the 1st and proceeded to bench him basically the whole year. No "development" in moves like these

Jt Thor looked like the best defender on the team earlier in the season when he was getting minutes. Soon as McDaniels got healthy he went back to the end of the bench.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
