I’m an outstanding listener. My assistant coaches will have a great voice.

Sell them then. People like you are what’s keeping the Warriors down. You guys pay money to watch us lose but score a bunch of points. Woo hoo maybe you can get a free pizza too! New owners need to focus on winning not selling tickets. Until then we will be losers.

@RR #15

You know who else played the game and then coached? Phil Jackson, Doc Rivers, Rick Carlisle, Byron Scott, Avery Johnson, Nate McMillan, Jerry Sloan… Larry Brown played in the ABA. Most coaches played at a high level of basketball. The article you linked talks about the greatest players who attempted to coach… would you put Mark Jackson’s career closer to Magic and Isaish or Doc Rivers and Byron Scott? The good news is Mark Jackson was bad enough that he had to work for everything he got but good enough to be widely respected throughout the league.

I wouldn’t consider myself an eternal optimist, but I am hard pressed to see a much better option that would also be willing to come. Sloan, Van Gundy, and Budenholzer didnt want to come. Jackson is arguably as good or better a hire as Brown or Adelman would have been.

He’s been considered a hot name in the coach-to-be circles along the lines of the top assistants and has already added a top assistant. I’m not seeing why this should be viewed as a negative move…

When you have Jerry West putting input on hiring
Mark Jackson, that means it’s a good hire.
If you are going to trade Ellis, do this:
Ellis, 2 First Rounders 2011, 2012, Cash, and
Andris Biedrings for Dwight Howard. He IS NOT
resigning in Orlando so they will need to trade
him.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!

Man, that was a great basketball game last night! Loved seeing a real TEAM win the title last night and stick it up chokey LeDivas arse!

Where are all you Heat fans now?? LeDiva should now be called the QUEEN!

Congrats to big Dirk and especially J Kidd! One of the greatest Bay Area sports athletes of all time IMO.

Saw him play in high school and everyone knew he was going to be special back then and when he went to Cal everyone was pumped here in the Bay Area. Glad he earned this much deserved NBA Championship, which cements his status into the NBA Hall of Fame!

Congrats to the Mavs for winning the title the right way and earning it!

for the folks who say “give it a chance” i say, show me the wins. show me the competence. show me the talent. show me something. what we have instead is a FO full of people with no experience (myers, kirk, etc) and now a head coach with no experience. how does that instill confidence in a fan? it doesn’t.

yes jackson played the game. so did a guy named magic. a guy named isaiah. check out how well that turned out: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/520877-magic-johnson-wayne-gretzky-and-13-great-players-who-couldnt-coach

we have a young team, a fundamentally unsound team that needs the guided hand of experience. i’ll certainly cheer for jackson to succeed, but i think you must be an eternal optimist ( and if you are, how can you be a W’s fan? ) to think this was the best hire that could have been made and therefor should not be questioned.

It’s too bad the Lamarcus Aldridge thing will not happen. That would be the lick!

Look it! Lots of rumors about Monta to all of these other teams interested in trading.

The only one I would welcome would be a trade for would be an almost all-star player to another almost all- star player. This would be in the form of Lamarcus Aldridge.

Rudy Gay?? He is not even a top player in the East. Whats up with that??

Otherwise, you are swapping a V6 engine for another V6 or even a V4 – why bother?

Shii… You don’t need Jerry West, Bob Mayer or some other so-called GM or BBall genius to figure that out.

Warrios need to trade Ellis and get as much as they can for him and try and get a pick. They need to get a solid big man or a guy like Rudy Gay for Ellis.

They then need to look at drafting SG/SF Jordan Hamilton, SG/PG Iman Shumpert, PF/SF Tristan Thompson, C Donatas Motiejunas, or BG/SF Klay Thompson
