You can take out the “/KP” part. I think his days are numbered as a Maverick. Luka is not fond of the guy.

Just thought I'd pay my respects and place a wreath on the grave.

Come to KP island Killer, there is beach front property really cheap right now, be prepared

Don´t. Just like everything else on KP island it is fools gold. Jellyfish all over the beach. Oil in the water. Industrial fishing area just a mile away.

First one to teach KP how to set a proper screen gets to be the new HC.

OMG, my side!!!!

The jokes are spilling over into page 9!

I love all of you guys so much.

To be serious Rick's teams overperformed every year and it sucks to see him go.

If I had to guess Rick probably feels that Donnie got done dirty and it just didn't sit right with him. Hopefully we can get some facts on what really went down eventually.

And then gets to introduce KP to the new medical staff and athletic trainers.

We should enjoy the Comedies pages. And prey for god there are no tragedies (Luka not signing).

I'm not talking about KP... you are claiming to know what every faction is thinking in this thread. If you work in the front office reveal yourself now!

How are you dudes just moving on with the conversation, as if we didn't just read a post from @"Silent Mav"????

We should let KP go and bring back Peja from retirement. I say we have a better chance to win. He could just sit in a corner and not even run, the 3s would rain down as much as Luka would pass him open.

Cuban will probably fire him so it is best not to get attached to anyone.

The good - GM performance was bad. Like, really bad. Outside of the Luka and Brunson pick, since then, not many good decisions have been made. The team around Luka is really bad in talent and level. Its absolutely the best that could happen, to get another GM and direction. Im happy about that some changes will occur here. Surely, it can go both ways, but it was super clear, something needed to happen.

The good - RC failed to incorporate KP into the team. He got worse in fact. This falls on RC. Eventough some of this is likely on KP and his sports mentality and psychology. It has to placed on RC, for not making him fit in.

The good - This may bring the old KP back. THese are exactly the moves he need to get back in shape and in impact. He needs other players around him, and he needs another coach and system. The chances for KP getting back in star mode, just increased significantly. RC just couldnt get him to that point.

The bad - RC is still a great tactician. I dont believe we can find someone better. I may be wrong. But most likely we take a step back here big time. RC could have won us the series against Clippers. If he had anticipated the small lineup by Clippers in game 3, and have already here been prepared with the zone already at this stage, we win the series. He had the tools and opporptunity to outclass Lue and win it. He failed. That being said Clippers HC had a lot more talent and fire power, and RC made it to game 7. He was probably still the better coach in this series, so expecting him to make a masterpiece here is maybe too much to ask for. But he had the opportunity in fact.

Overall, it was clear changes needed to be made. This is probbaly more good than bad. Its mixed.

+16

Duffy for GM
Igor Kokoskov for head coach

I think it is safe to say that Cuban has made it to the A Storm of Swords in his A Song Of Ice And Fire reading.

It's funny to me that today, it's ok to say stuff like this and not get taken to task for it. It really is the Olive Garden here.
