I guess you all forgot what it was like to be the worst team in the league for an entire decade. To hope the team could at least win 10 games a season, 20 if we kept our fingers crossed. So what if avery lost a couple of players, replace them, not him. Is the next coach going to have anything even close to avery’s body of work over the duration of the next 3 ful seasons? 73% winning percentage, a trip to the finals, consecutive 50 win seasons? donnie Nelson is the only candidate that dows anything for me. I don't think he wants the job, because he will be out in 3 years. we had a coach who made the playoffs every year, set the franchise records for wins and winning percentage, led the team to the ONLY finals appearance ever, helped keep this team relevant when it was sinking the year he took it over, and all this in less than 4 years.

I told y'all beeyatches. His 'disinterest' could just be him being coy and a good negociator. I hope so. I think he is clearly the best guy available. HIRE JVG!

His ‘disinterest’ could just be him being coy and a good negociator. I hope so. I think he is clearly the best guy available.

He's a good defensive coach that loves up tempo. He's at Washington now I think so he could convince Arenas or even Jamison to come if they haven't already signed and we somehow fit them into our roster. What about Randy Ayers.
