Clippers fire Del Negro

[Chinny]

Can you imagine Phil Jackson + CPME??

[Kibner]

For various reasons that are too controversial to get in to.. I can guarantee no established coach will ever work for Donald Sterling.

Beautiful black bodies? Refusing to help a player with life-saving surgery? Slum-lord extraordinaire?

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.

That means if they pay CPME the max which will probably be richest in NBA, Blake going to have to restructure his contract. This ought to go well. LOL. No way clips can afford both players.

Can't restructure

Can't restructure

Take that back, Blake going to want raise too.

Can't until his contract runs out.

I hope Byron Scott goes so they can fail more.

Well we know this much, It won't be Phil Jackson.

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.

Jackson was never an option. You can't run the triangle with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.

Maybe could run the square instead...

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.

Then I'm guessing CPME is leaving the Clips if this happens.

[Inner_GI]

I don't get why you'd want a black or white coach, just because of the skin colour?

Chris is "trying" to be principled. He is obviously uncomfortable playing for Donald Sterling, who has an..umm.. dubious minority rights track record in his other business that has even trickled over to the Clippers a time or two.

Well either Chris didn't do his homework on Sterling before going to the Clips or, he just wanted to get away from this organization so bad that he figured he'd take his chances. Whatever. Hey Chris....
