Memphis fired Jenkins

Taylor Jenkins was called into the Grizzlies office this morning and was fired in person, sources tell ESPN. Stunning dismissal. Jenkins now becomes one of the top head coaching candidates for the upcoming cycle. He had a .539 winning percentage as Grizzlies coach. https://t.co/fKRG7MNY58

Gayle needs to open her coin purse, and change this team as it is rapidly losing its fan base.

We makes you think our players will like him if there players did not like him? Haven't we been down this road already with SVG?

Since when does a coach have to be buddies with players? Most “player coaches” have been bad coaches. Steve Kerr is the only real success story of a “player’s coach” that comes to mind. This team is as soft as it gets. The team needs a coach that demands accountability more than anything. The “sorry I don’t curse,” personality has failed this team with Monty Williams and now Willie Greene. They are basically the same person.

If they don't have any credibility/track record and the players don't like them, then it doesn't matter how good of a coach they are, they likely won't be around long.

Phil was on the level of Kerr, but he still commanded respect and accountability. If you win, players eventually like the coach. The league is soft and it’s the mentality that these grown men have to pampered that is a huge part of the problem.

You might be 100% right but that doesn't change the reality of the situation. If the players don't like the coach, the coach isn't going to last long. It's so much easier to get a new coach than to replace star players.

There could be much better names on the market after next week

https://lastwordonsports.com/basketb...his-offseason/

Mike Malone now available.

Nuts! Not sure what is going on. Griffin will probably just keep Willie with our luck.

Absolutely nuts. Booth and Malone never liked each other, rarely spoke, and talked behind each other's backs. With the team struggling on the court, Nuggets ownership decided to fire both. Insane. https://t.co/BUVS7grQWq

It?s in the Front Office?s hands.

I'd be more than happy with either Malone or Jenkins.

I couldn't care less about the feeling of our "superstars". This is a small market team, you can't win by strictly repeating what the big markets do. Let them run their top players pleasing service. It will also help to get rid of players that are ready to play hard and for the team

It's possible willie has lost the team, but yal don't know that. He is a solid coach. Our wins increased every year till this year. We were a long, athletic, deep team the year before

trading dyson daniels is and was disastrous no matter what anyone says. Someone undoubtedly will say we needed more shooting/scoring from the spot but i've pointed out several times that Dyson Daniels was a better shooter and scorer than Murray was in his first 3 years, and Dyson is one of the best defenders in the league especially on ball D. His trajectory is just as good. But to give him and Nance and 1st rounder

we all know it was our bench kickin ****** last year, so we start this season without

dyson daniels
Naj Marshall
larry nance
jose alvarado (was Still hurt)
then the injuries were record-setting

the ingram fiasco should have been dealt with earlier and would have been a lot more advantageous, but would have to have been done way earlier probably before the new agreement

then Murray, Zion, Ingram, herb Jones yada yada all hurt

by the time some came back it was a rap. We shouldnt have been wanting to win from there on anyway, it was over.


Now if there inside info of the players and him not clicking its different. But it may just be the guy on top that needs to go, perhaps we can get the GM from Detroit lol.
Our best draft has been credited to him and Detroit is coming up
