Saunders has been a successful coach in the league. He’ll install a totally different offense of course, and then we’ll get to see how good we are.

It’ll be interesting to see whether Abe *insists* that we keep Wes Unseld, Jr. I can’t see any of the other assistants staying around, except maybe Hopla (as we all hope).

Presumably, Saunders and Ernie will review the roster, and we may actually see some moves or at least some attempted moves.

And it would be *great* for Eddie Jordan to wind up in Sacramento. He is a terrific coach and a good guy.

A healthy Gil.. A healthy Brendan… A healthy Deshawn.. Dominic being Dominic… Nick playing defense… Possibly a Coach to direct JaVale’s positive game… and develop an offense that highlights Andray’s play and sets an offense where the other players shine…. Cassell is there for the “tough nose” factor. Hopefully that shines on the defensive end next season. Things are looking up. Get the wallet out Mr. Pollin. Blake Griffin anyone?

Grif,

I’ll just let the past stay in the past and hopefully he has figured out how to get to the next level and our players have learned how to play at the next level and then we can see something special next season.

Interesting. Saunders isn’t an in your face kind of coach. Maybe he felt he needed someone like Cassell to play that role to a degree.

DCB… Rick Carlisle and Joe Dumars really put together the team almost as it sits today. Carlisle is the one they can really thank for their success. The first of the Big Ben confrontations was with Carlisle. Brown then came in almost along with Rasheed Wallace. Wallace completed the puzzle for them. Brown rode Carlisle’s coat tails. Brown had health issues…New York Knick related….. and left. Flip came in and they had their winningest season ever but Miami was the “team” by then. After Detroit lost Ben to Chicago they became a good team…… If Flip had been hired in Detroit before Brown he would probaly still be there working on Jerry Sloan’s record.

Thanks JeffM and Grif.

CSN just announced again that the deal is imminent. I’m glad we finally got a coach. I do recall Flip had a “tiff” with Ben Wallace prior to the Ben leaving because Ben felt he wasn’t being utilized properly. Also, detroit was already a winner with Larry Brown (i think he was the previous coach), so he really didn’t “build” anything….but I’m still upbeat

At the very least Flip can get us back into the playoffs. Which coming off this season will seem like heaven.
