Hell yes!  This was who i wanted.  That's what I'm talking about.  LaMelo could ascend to MVP contention under D'Antoni.  And people rag on D'Antoni's defenses, but I guarantee you it will still be better than that garbage JB was rolling out there the last few years.  And at the very least, we will be consistent and structured.  And if he can bring in a defensive coordinator-type, like Ham that Lurk mentioned above, even better.  We are going to be a problem!

MDA is a good coach but old. My guess is he's coaching for a year or two then transitions to the front office to take Mitch's job becuase he wants to retire. He'll hand the coaching job over to whatever lead assistant he picks. Hopefully they groom a good one

Why would ham make a lateral move from a team that is much much better?  My problem with dantoni is he will only be here 3 seasons max

Bc it'd be with the promise to take over the reigns. Ham worked with Mike in Los Angeles and both were hired by Mitch.  Give him the label Asst Head Coach and etc.

Solid point, he’d get Charlotte’s job well before he’d get Milwaukee’s. I also wouldn’t be surprised to see Stoudemire join up with MDA again. Both worked together in Brooklyn under Nash.

He's being talked about now though as a head coach. Milwaukee continues to win his name will stay relevant if he doesn't get hired this year.  He comes here and it doesn't go well it will set him back a few years

I could definitely  see that scenario too or he could go elsewhere and flame put and get put even further back. I've seen both scenarios,  so no telling but I'm sure any talks with Mike have had  to be linked to an successor. I'd imagine his assistants at each stop have been mentioned.  If you look around  the league, it's not a bunch of positions open honestly.

      Evero HC requests!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.

      I've grown to enjoy Mike & Tripp, even more so after listening to the ESPN, TNT, TBS hacks who, for whatever reason, seemingly don't know dick about the Canes.
