Can’t we hire a f-ing coach before we retool? We have a rookie GM who will no doubt make mistakes and may or may not know what he’s doing (he seems to have a plan or at least a set, general orientation), but he shouldn’t play both coach and GM roles unless he’s overeager for power. We need a really good and proven coach with the leeway to shape a team.

The model for cleaning house without a coach is a total abstraction. If it continues we will become a destination only for rookie coaches and those desperate for any gig. Buy-out Diomande, etc but a remake without a coach on top of a season and a half of a failed remake with failed tweaks doesn’t sound smart to me.
