Assistant is fine but not Head Coach.

Pop is flexible? I see it as the team plays the way he wants them too and they make roster additions based on the system. Naturally all systems need some adjustment to the players but the core process pop has used with Buford and on the court is not up for discussion. They have a plan and stick to it.

While Jordan is a great Iso man you have many Youtube instances where he passed out of a triple or double team and one of the role players hit the winning shot. When Jordan learned to trust is when the bling count went up.

The triangle is not rocket science and looks to me Miami and Spurs run a very similar system.

All great teams have great iso players and you go to them in crunch time. Melo can be a part of this.

You think it be wise to pay a guy 60 mil who has been a part of 13 championshop seasons and label him "Inflexible" because Steve Kerr wanted to be closer to home? That he wants one of his minions to be his next coach is embarrasing? Whats embarrasing BTW? That Fisher wants to wait until after the season? That Tyrone Lue is a funny name and not be taken serious?

Is this the coach? Looks like an ugly WNBA player!

Is this better?:

Don't forget the Zen Master was once a young man himself!:

This goofball led the NCAA in scoring!

Where is the Zen? Whoa, thats CLYDE!!!!!

Is this as awkward as being named "Tyronn Lue"?

This guy embarrased?
