the other topic at hand was determining which teams were tipping their hand toward “hot seats” next season.
quote:

Three names that came up in my conversations with folks around the league were the Memphis Grizzlies’ Taylor Jenkins, the New Orleans Pelicans’ Willie Green and the Portland Trail Blazers’ Chauncey Billups.
quote:

Green won 49 games in New Orleans, but enters his fourth season facing increasing scrutiny about his offense and player usage, especially the revolving door at the center position. A recent contract extension likely makes it untenable to move on from him this summer, but a slow start next year could be a different story.

Nothing like getting an extension on the hot seat

Griff and Willie’s seat should both be on fire. I can’t ever remember a gm that has accomplished less while starting off with more than him.,

He started off with AD, Zion and Jrue and has turned that into playin teams year after year.

I’m fine with moving on from Willie if the right coach becomes available, but I’d rather not make change just for the sake of change. If we fire Willie due to a slow start, that essentially guarantees Borrego. I’m afraid that he’d do just good enough to get a shot, and then we are just back on this coaching carousel again.

This is crazy, Jenkins is a good coach. I’d dump Willie for Jenkins in a heartbeat

So another wasted season coming where the team will underachieve and Willie will have a fourth year to show he has no idea what he is doing.

This is what great leadership brings.

In all honesty though, Hollinger is far from anything reliable.

Have they even formally announced Green’s extension? I’m super pissed about this under the radar crap. I think it is very telling.

How many hot seat coaches ever get off the hot seat without being fired or resigning? Rephrased, how many hot seat coaches ever turn it around?
