    This org is in serious turmoil as of this moment with unhappy players and a front office that has lost control of the situation. Do you think a guy like Paul is going to sit around through all of this? I don't see it. I don't like the NBA's business model. I don't like guaranteed contracts. I don't like prima donna players who basically get what they want when they want. But it is what it is, and right now it is **** around here.


    Time for some football!!!

    Bringing back Tim Floyd: GREAT MOVE.

    He is a defensive minded coach. Our biggest weakness: DEFENSE.

    He is fiery and is a great motivator of his players. If you have watched a single game this year, you know our players quit on Scott and gave NO EFFORT.

    To everyone saying he was bad when he coached here, you are very wrong. He did fine as our coach. His problems were rooted in the ****ty attitudes of Baron Davis and Jamal Mashburn. D-West liked him as a coach, so I am sure he is fine with this. Tim Floyd was an excellent hire in my opinion.

    The players in 2004 quit on Floyd like they did on Scott this year, Floyd is no great motivator and has not won an NBA playoff series in his coaching career.

At least this way we can send a message that this team needs major changes and those start right now.
    Precisely! Byron as a coach here had run its course. A leader who doesn't take responsibility is no leader at all and should go. Byron seemed to not want to get his hands dirty when mud got too thick. A coach must hold himself accountable when his team is not performing up to par. Scott wasn't truly interested in that part of the job.

    The sad part is... While we know that Bower will be the HC in name, Floyd is really going to be the coach behind the scenes. Worst day ever.

    The players did not quit on Floyd like they did on Scott this year at all. We were a very mediocre team that stretched our record to 41-41 that year despite losing Mashburn midseason, and the constant "injuries" and whining of Baron Davis. We barely lost a game 7 to the Heat, coming back from a hue defecit to make it a close game I hardly call that quitting on the coach. I couldn't compare that to a very talented team last year that lost by 58 points at home in the playoffs. In my opinion, Scott should have been fired after last season.

    Heat players were talling Davis to 'get up' after faking injuries and Mashburn was sent home in the middle of that series. Don't try to tell me they didn't quit.

    so excited scott is gone. even if we win 20 games this year....gives us a chance to right the ship over the next 2 years for cp3.....mush rather a fast sink with time to rebuild then let scott slowly sink us in time for cp3s contract to be up.

    best day ever...now we actually have a chance to keep CP3. with scott we had no chance.

    Which is why he is an assisstant coach. Bower has ZERO head coaching experience. I think Floyd is here to help him out. I pray that Shinn does not think either of these two are long term answers. I read somewhere the Bower will not have the "interim" head coach tag. I swear if he is the head coach past this year I will riot.

    Bower said no search will be conducted, I'm wondering if that means a search right now or after the season?

    If the current roster can quit on one coach, they can quit on any coach. Floyd is not going to get it done. The best case scenario with him is that he will put in time trying to develop the youth and he is a good x and o guy. That's it. he brings nothing else. Unfortunately, you need a baby-sitting kind of coach in the NBA. That's just the way it rolls. Floyd has proven that he can't motivate these players. Maybe when they were younger, but not now.

    Those drama queens weren't even pathetic enough to lose by 58. this team is a joke.

    Yes, if you read my post you would realize that I agreed Baron Davis quit on Floyd. He was a drama queen, and he quit on the franchise/city as a whole. Thus, Floyd still managed a respectable record and 7 game series without basically his top player who was nothing but a headcase.

    I disagree. I don't see CP sitting through this rebuilding process, despite Hugh Weber's denial of that characterization. I hope I am totally wrong, but I don't think I am. CP would languish in obscurity for the next 2 seasons until we get contracts cleared from the books and a new HC is brought in. And one better be brought in much sooner than that.

    And the Hornets essentially backed into the playoffs in 2003-04. That series was the best they had played in months. This guy is a re-tread.

    CP under contract through 12-13. Roster flexability in 11-12. That's the make or break point in my mind. Until then, CP and CJ can do nothing but complain on twitter. Ownership knows that w/out CP this franchise is absoutely worthless and would be stupid to give in to trade demands b/c the next step from there would have to be relocation.

    Have you seen our roster from that year? We weren't exactly the cream of the NBA that season either my friend. Either way, last year's roster was much more talented and we lost by 58 points at home.

    Doesn't CP3 have a player option before 13-14 though?
    I agree about the flexibility period where we have to go score some major players to keep Paul.

    The only good thing is that we've got basically three seasons to try to right the ship. If Bower's gone after this year- which I suspect- than we've still got hope that we can get someone in here that know's what their doing before Paul's contract is up.

    Two or three years down the road is entirely too far to predict- remember Scott's first year, when all looked hopeless and everyone thought this team was going to be terrible for the foreseeable future? Or 2007, when everyone thought we had the chance to contend for the next few seasons? Things can change quicker than we imagine.

    If nothing of note happens at the end of this season, or at some point in the next, then I'll start to panic. Until then I remain cautiously hopeful.

    Why would the next move be relocation? There was actually a time before Chris Paul, people...Not that many of you were fans back then.

    Ahh, yes I believe you are correct. If that is the case, scratch my comment!

    If Bower isn't the head coach by next November it will be Tim Floyd. Bower has already stated that a search will not be conducted.
