We really cant afford to be a lottery team this year.

can we afford NOT to replace him? looks like we're headed to the lottery again unless something changes & fast.

If we can get Carmelo I think having a coach like D'Antoni might be better. This way we know Carmelo and Amare get enough touches on the night basis.

if we got Nash, then i'd tend to want to keep MDA... but if this article has any truth to it that MDA has already lost the team, then what's the point in continuing on? anything he tells them is going in 1 ear & out the other if that's the case... not saying i think that's already happened, but it is a definite issue if it's true.

i think Melo & Amare would work, but we will need dirty work players around them that are willing to sacrifice their own games to allow those 2 superstars to shine while they do all the other things to help the team win games... i think guys like Fields, Turiaf and Douglas are good candidates to fill those types of roles... Wilson not so much since he's playing for a contract this season & isn't the smartest player in terms of hoops IQ... & the way Gallo & AR are playing this season, i'm no longer convinced either one of them are ideal components for a winning formula, which is pretty sad because i really had high hopes & expectations for them, especially Gallo... but as it stands now, it doesn't seem like MDA is getting through to either one of them... maybe it is time to go with a new voice before we tank yet another season? i'm not opposed to bringing in someone else that will preach more motion, better shot selection & a clear focus on defense.

We've sucked since he departed. We need him back to reclaim some old glory.

I would love him but back it's not happening with the way he departed.

He burnt out the last time here, and now he's older.

Hubie Brown would win 50 games here with this squad.

Not sure about Mark Jackson... but I'm getting more and more curious.

I think Mark would be a good coaching candidate but think of this. How many GOOD coaches have zero experience and then suddenly become good coaches. At the top of my head, the best or top coaches had to work their way to the top. I'm not sure, to be honest, how exactly it was for Riley, Greg Pop, Jax or Sloan, but I'm sure they didn't just appear out of the woodwork. MDA, Mike Brown, Larry Brown, Avery Johnson, Stan Van Gundy, Jeff Van Gundy, Lawrence Frank: All these guys started as assistants and/or coached in college or Europe before becoming NBA head coaches. The only guy I can think of at the top of my head that I don't think had much experience is Doc Rivers, but he's an exception.

Rivers and Jackson were both PG's too iirc. And it's not like Jackson doesn't know NY or fit. I think by December first if it's going to happen it will.

So who wants to guess this "source" Hahn mabbe since they definitely wouldn't want him to run a story like that?

LOL what does it mean?

it probably means we all need to go to bed. but i like the idea of the team ignoring d'antoni telling them to shoot threes and saying "no g money **** right now MDA!"

There seems to be no concentration on doing what this team does well. What we DONT do well is shoot the 3, yet we continue to take 30 a game and there is a lot of standing around on offense
