He has more rings than he knows what to do with. Coaching experience has no effect on running a franchise. Business experience, negotiations, talent evaluation and budgeting is what helps with being a GM. Ya know who else doesnt have any experience coaching: Mitch Kupchak.

Just like they said when they shot down the trade rumors to the Lakers "Dwight doesnt want to play with Kobe. He wants to be Kobe." I don't want Dwight anywhere near this team. I wouldn't have said that a year ago, but he managed to kill his reputation with his antics this last season and was exposed as the two-faced manipulator he is. Howard is not for us.

Vinny did what he was tasked to do, and we're appreciative of his time and effort, but at this stage we need someone who has more experience and can prepare us so that we can take it to the next level.

]]> Comment on Clippers facing crucial coaching decision by Patrick http://clipperblog.com/2012/05/22/clippers-facing-crucial-coaching-decision/comment-page-1/#comment-88105 Patrick Wed, 23 May 2012 23:59:21 +0000 http://clipperblog.com/?p=12159#comment-88105 I think he would say the clippers as well but its kinda not classy to say I want to be the coach of a team that already has a coach. No one is publicly saying they want to coach the clippers yet because until june 1st vinny is still the coach. I bet he is kinda waiting to see what the clippers do before deciding on coaching any team. Hes an older guy though who already had to deal with a problem player in D.Will and probably doesnt want to waste 2-3 years getting charlotte to the league standard. He seems interested in coaching again and I think his preferred destination is right here in LA.

I dont really think we have a shot at howard but I guess Olshey might be able to pull a trade off somehow. The rest of this post is complete bull shit though.

It's impossible for anybody to make DeAndre Jordan better. He has bad hands and he has bad feet. He can't catch or shoot and he can't move his feet to get into position on defense, much less to score on offense. He's got board hands and board foot. The worst grasp at a delusional straw is the argument that because Stan Van Gundy made Dwight Howard a great center, he'll do the same for DeAndre Jordan. That kind of twisted pipedreaming will make a persons head fall off. In general, Stan Van Gundy is the worst posssible choice for coach because Dwight Howard can't stand him. Howard would avoid the Clippers like the plague if Van Gundy was their coach.

The Clippers went to the second round of the playoffs for only the second time in their history. 2. They had the best winning percentage this season of any season in their history. For a GM who has no previous NBA experience except as Dunleavy's secretary and ball boy, and has no experience coaching at all except as the assistant coach (again, ball boy) of a high school, and has no experience playing on an NBA team, a college team or even a high school team, well, for that GM to fire a coach who got the team to the second round of the playoffs for only the second time in franchise history and this season got the best winning percentage in franchise history, that high school intramural player better have one heck of a good reason and one heck of a well credentialed coach (Sloan, Jackson) to take his place.
