I remember Orlando was supposed to get this faggot, but he backed out after signing the contract and then they got SVG instead

Was just thinking that. Don't think Donovan will make it as an NBA coach.

Also, why didn't Presti wait? Should have gone after Alvin Gentry instead of rushing this.

This will end badly. If they really want to reign in Westbrook some, they need an established NBA coach.

Not that Donovan is a bad boach, but I'm surprised he took this job. I understand they have the players to probably carry you to a decent record, but he's not going to be able to do much "coaching" with the way Durant and Westbrook act. Not to mention you have to deal with cancerous attitudes like Westbrook/Durant, along with Waiters and Kanter.

That's a good move. He shouldn't consult with them. There's no guarantee that they will be around in the next few years, and there's no reason to feed their ego when asking who the coach should be. You can see when that happened with LeBron, it started out poorly with James treating a fairly good European coach (who accomplished a lot) like dirt and the scapegoat (pushing him around, fussing at him poor body language). The last thing you need is Durant and company doing that to the new coach.They did that with Brooks already, so I see them bullying Donovan anyways.. but you don't want to give them the green light.

:tu Durant and Westbrook have been coddled enough by the organization, the team's in a mess because of that.

Presti might just be preparing for life after Durant/Westbrook. Brad Stevens has been good so far, so it's not like a successful college coach can't make it in the NBA. Then again all Stevens has done is exceed low expectations.

Donovan's job in the short term isn't to get them over any hump. It's to keep Kevin Durant from going elsewhere, because if that happens they are fucked.

Not news to anyone but with his salary past and present she can live pretty much anywhere she pleases.
