Thibs would make a lot of sense if we draft Okafor and sign Love. He would find a way to hide most of the deficiencies these guys have on that end. But it won't happen. I really doubt we fire Scott without giving him a real chance to be successful.

He's probably just alluding to Thibs' being fired. That's going to be "shocking" to casuals.

Thibs getting canned was written on the wall, if this guy is legit... I think the Clippers are probably through with Doc Rivers not getting over the hump with the Clippers... so if it's not Thibs I think it's Rivers.

Hardly, since the thibs being fired story has been ongoing for months.

True, but I dunno. Other than Lebron returning to Cleveland, I can't remember the last time Sheridan called something. We'll see though.

Sheridan is legit.... he broke the LeBron news and still receives concrete Information within the NBA circle.... I have a feeling it's Scott but I don't think the Lakers have the guts to do it.....

Doc Rivers? How long has he had that core and can't get them over the hump? New owner too probably wants to bring in someone different.

My other guess is Dwayne Casey.

Yup. Thibs sits out a year. If BS falls flat on his face with a healthy roster, then Thibs would be a very good possibility.

I'm guessing Randy Wittman will be fired, he only has 1 year left on his deal.

I was thinking Vogel or McHale but both signed extensions recently.

I wish it was Byron Scott. Two coaches I would love for us to get in Gentry and Jeff Van Gundy are doing interviews while we'll be stuck with Coach BS for probably another season or two. SIGHHHHHH

Pretty sure Sheridan doesn't know anything.

Coaches get fired every year. This is a blanket prediction, similar to how a "psychic" works by making very vague guesses.

If Wittman were the guy, would that really qualify as major news? The way Sheridan wrote that, it would make it seem like it would be a name guy. No offense to Wittman, but he isn't that. I immediately thought of Vogel and McHale. If they recently signed extensions, that would qualify as "nobody saw it coming", right? Daryl Morey has already shown that he has no loyalty whatsoever so if he saw a coach out there that he thought was better, I don't think he would hesitate to make a change, and I thought McHale was seen as a placeholder anyway. As for Vogel, if Indiana really wants to speed up the tempo and change their team's philosophy, perhaps that means a change of the blue-collar Vogel, similar to how Memphis fired the blue-collar Lionel Hollins. Spoelstra I just can't see. He's Riley's guy and I'd be stunned.

Casuals don't care about tweets and latest rumors. For the most part these guys write for junkies, us. So though Thibs will be fired, he's talking about another coach on the plank.

I've been screaming for Van Gundy as our coach for years!! I also like Gentry.
