eh? :confused:
 
Well, the Piston's fired Flip Saunders today. I'm actually a Flip fan, but I can understand why they did it, although I think the players are more of a problem, but that will change too.

It's hard to say right now, and it will depend on who they choose as the coach. Rumor is they are going to pick Michael Curry, but this would be his first head coaching job, and you can't really expect a guy in his first year to win you a title, so that would lead one to believe that they wouldn't be expecting to win a title next year. So, I would think that would mean they would be doing some big changes in the roster.
If they do take Avery Johnson, or maybe a Van Gundy (I really really really hope that doesn't happen) then I think the roster moves will be much less dramatic. But, I would bet that one of the "core" Sheed, Rip, Billups, Prince, will be gone regardless.

I'm really surprised it took that long. He basically stepped into a good team, and didn't repeat the wins that were already there. Well, the wins yes, but THE win, no. It'll be interesting to see what happens up there in D town.
 
I've never seen so many coaches be tossed like this season. It's a shame. I like Flip and Avery. I hate van gundy
