First of all, I apologize if I don't respond back to this thread, I assure you I am not ignoring the comments. I may be in the minority, but I think Avery needs to get another chance with the team next year, and he needs to start with his staff, figure out what needs to be changed. He needs to add someone who can create some point on offense and get maximum efforts out of the players. I'm not sure if we have that on the staff. I think there is a disturb pattern going on with Avery though. When he was coaching Nets... That team couldn't play defense to save their life. I often wondered if it was the players or the coach's inability to communicate with the players. Look back to when Mavericks fired him after players threated to call mutiny on the team if Cuban didn't fire Avery... There is a pattern there. Johnson can coach like nobody else, but I often wonder if he learned his lesson about relating to the players and communicate in an effective way. He has control issue and that doesn't always sit well with young players.
Should he come back and I think he will, he needs to make major changes... related to his strategy overall. I'm talking about practices, in game subs, know his rotations, etc. Make some adjustments... and get players to buy in and we would be okay. I don't think bringing in a new coach will solve anything. we would be right here in same spot in 3 years with same results.
A change in staff will solve few things. Avery has to make changes within himself as well.
