OJ has said it already, but they need to either move OG or Pascal to make way for Scottie Barnes to be a big minutes guy or move him for assets or draft capital.

This "in-between" a rebuild and contending is going nowhere fast, IMO.

I also think they need to move on from FVV. He was a great story and helped them win a championship, but he'll never be a true lead guard while also taking ballhandling duties away from more multifaceted guys (Pascal, Scottie, and/or OG).

Crazy that Nurse went from arguably the best coach in the NBA to out of a job in 4 years.

Stupid decision on the part of Masai and the Raptors, IMO, while he's on the short list of names I hope the Spurs target to possibly become Pop's successor.

Ehhh Don’t know about calling him the best coach at any point, even with the qualifier of “arguably”. He’s been one of the most creative ones, I’ll give him that.

4-5 years removed from that only Championship, I feel like it was bound to get to this point eventually. If he had 2, he’d be there for as long as he wanted.

Depending on what goes on with Ty Lue(there’s been talking from local Clippers Media he may step down)I could see him going there, reuniting with Kawhi. I hope he avoids Houston because I want to see Cassell finally get a HC gig and take that one.

He was being praised here and elsewhere while being thrown around as the "best coach in the NBA" debate.

I'm not gonna go back and find proof, but that level of high praise was being given to Nurse.

Anyway, I think it is way, way too soon to be firing him but they needed a scapegoat.

Oh I’m not asking for proof, I’m just saying I never considered at any point to be the best

Neither did I, but that wasn't my point, Pack.

He went from "arguably" the best or amongst the best to being out of a job in 4 short years.

I never personally put him above coach Bud or Spo, but plenty of pundits and fans were heaping tremendous praise on Nurse. Now, he's with Dwayne Casey, out here looking for a new job after being canned by Masai.

It’s a 2 man race and I’d definitely go with Nurse, lol
