Waits a year to find his next MVP guard?

He's had 2 good runs, both times with players that can be great in his system where they run everything from the PG spot.

Other places it has gone bad real bad, especially with guys who play mid-range ball.

I dunno if he would fit with that Pelicans group, as I think Gentry ran some of D'Antoni's sets anyway. I think the Pels are looking for a defensive minded coach, as last year whenever I saw them play, their D sucked (especially against us).

Ingram/Zion with MDA again, doesn't sound like Nash/Harden type of fit. I think he awaits a year and then goes to a team like Sacto, who have a lot of young guards that could explode in the right situation. Minnesota is another option. If he does sign with NOP I will say right now that it won't work out too well.

On First Take they talked about him being an assistant to Steve Nash for the Nets. I don't see it for the fact that its a demotion not just in salary but in job title.

He was an assistant to Brett Brown between his Laker and Houston job.
As a favour to colangelo who was running the Sixers then.

It’s his life and he’s got a hell of a creative mind on offense so if he wants to help Nash succeed as a coach more power to him

MDA has many limitations and they were exposed in Houston again. But his abilities to create high octane offense can not be ignored. He’s incredibly good at that.

Lue’s strength is offensive play calling, so probably not. I guess we see which head coach gets fired first.

Problem with teams going after Mike D’Antoni is that teams know his system is outdated ( we destroyed small ball ) and unless he approaches a different game plan then small ball, he won’t gather much interest in the market.

So we can stick AD out on the 3 point line all game long and never let Lebron or AD post up or take a mid-range J? No thank you.

The kind of assistant coach on offense we could use is someone who can teach the guys how to time their post entry passes and get Dwight and AD the ball, as well add some more effective AD-Lebron 2 man pick and roll games into the mix.

The system is no longer fresh, but other coaches have added to the concept and improved upon it. So they don't actually need MDA to implement the concept anymore.

Mike coached Nash in Pheonix. If he doesn't change his scheme Brooklyn will make the playoffs and get bounced early.

This is only a plus for the Nets. You get the benefits of an MDA offensive system without the liabilities of the lack of defense since he will most likely only put his voice into the offense.

He has 3 big men 6'11" Kevin Durant, 6'11" DeAndre Jordan, 6'11" Jarrett Allen. I think he has to change his offensive scheme. If he uses "Small Ball" he will only go so far in the playoffs. That's proven.

I don't think he will. He'll try to fit the personnel to his scheme rather than create a scheme to get the most from the personnel.

Allen and Jordan can play the low post, Durant and Irving can supply enough offense. They have a great roster it needs guidance. I don't know if they have the right leaders to guide it.

Mike has proven to be a one trick pony. He has the players. Let's see if he gets the most from what he has. Good luck.

What a bad decision not to take the Houston extension. Major demotion for a big name coach.

If anything he would've gotten compensated for being fired. Now he takes an assistant coaching salary after losing out on other head coaching jobs.

Not really. Working for Tillman is a pain. You see the GM quit too.

We really should stop saying small ball or his system doesn't work. Gentry and Kerr basically vindicated the man and the use of his system after they won their first title in GS. Elite talent is what wins in this league, and the teams that were beating his had Duncan and Durant, with tons of help.

That’s the championship offense the Warriors ran
A lot of elements of the Triangle and what Pop ran

Sorry no MDA offense led team (high iso, exclusive r
PnR to one guard) has won a title.

Teams have stolen some of his playbook and added other elements and made it a great overall package.

I give you that. But the Warriors do not run MDA high iso Houston or SSOL.
