Not too surprising. I wonder who they bring in to replace him.

Byron Scott step right up.

SVG said he won't be coaching this year. I can See Byron Scott and Brian Shaw in the runnning. I doubt they get Phil, Jerry Sloan, or JVG.

I wonder how much interest Phil has in the Clippers.
What a crazy story that would be... -

I wonder if this influences CP3 one way or the other.
-
05-21-2013, 02:01 PMInner_GII think it can only positively affect his chances of staying. He may be picking the coach, for all we know.Quote:

Mike Malone, Byron Scott, and Lionel Hollins all potential candidates.

Despite considerable success and progress in his two seasons as coach, Del Negro was unable to withstand a first-round Western Conference loss to the Memphis Grizzlies and a free agent-to-be superstar, Chris Paul, who wanted a different coach, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. Del Negro did not have a contract beyond this season.
Del Negro was informed of the decision on Tuesday afternoon.

If CP3 stays, this should free up Bledsoe for trade possibilities. I hope they get a coach CP3 wants to sway him to stay. All this can work in our favor.
This also may play a roll in who we draft. If Bledsoe becomes a strong possibility, we may not need Burke. -
05-21-2013, 02:18 PMRaisingTheBarI agree, but look at their VP of operations lolQuote:

The "please stay with us CP3" move, Sterling's putting all his chips on the table
-
05-21-2013, 03:11 PMDefensiveMind
For various reasons that are too controversial to get in to.. I can guarantee no established coach will ever work for Donald Sterling.

C'mon Clippers! We have been down this road. After they fired Byron Scott, we spent 2 years signing everyone that CP3 wanted us to sign, and he still left.
-
05-21-2013, 03:36 PMPELICANSFANBut you forgot that our incompetent management dismantled the most promising team we ever had when all were still in their prime.Quote:

Also remember who CPME's agent is and the other player he represents!

Can you imagine Phil Jackson + CPME??

I called this the second the Clips lost the first round. I also called Scott their next coach. It's gonna happen, they are gonna offer Chris his 5 year deal and tell him he can have control of who is in and who is out and that means B Scott will b the Clippers next head coach.

Chris Paul’s preference is to stay with the Clippers but he wants them to hire an African-American coach, according to multiple league sources.

The Los Angeles Clippers reached out to Jeff Van Gundy to get a preliminary sense of his interest in discussing their head-coaching job, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
There was no discussion of setting up an interview, nor any real gauge of whether Van Gundy holds interest in the job, sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Those close to Van Gundy believe that he is open to considering a return to coaching for the right opportunity.
Van Gundy, one of the sport's top TV analysts, has been a target of several franchises since leaving the Houston Rockets in 2007. He's considered one of the NBA's best available coaches.
