I agree on the GMs. Pretty average Joes imo. Understood that he can't
hire somebody like West or Colangelo to be an underling... but neither
Sund nor King impress me much.
King is the Philly guy, right? Just what we need, a guy that has run
somebody eles's team into the ground.
A lot of folks around the league have said that Jackson would be a
good coach... but that Thibadeau from the Celtics is
definitely the real deal. I hope Walsh hasn't _decided_ anything
before interviewing...
Still, Jackson was bitter about being traded to the Clippers... get a
head coaching gig 15 years later and he'll be over that right quick.
That was the Charles Smith trade :(
Oh,no doubt it was a bad trade, but first off, I do want an experienced
coach, secondly, I want a guy who is going to have his heart in this job
and
I don't think that is Marc Jackson.
