NittanyBuc 757 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 his style fits this team better than Stan's does. Perhaps, but the "***** defense, just inbound the ball and get on the fast break" style doesn't work in the playoffs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dds21 47 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 Hopefully both. But if it ain't possible i guess i would keep Dwight. And if they are serious considering in bringing in D'antony... well................ :panicworker: :panicworker: :panicworker: HECK NO TO D'AnQuiting! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miller4Prez66 545 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 D'Antoni's sytle doesn't work with a dominant low post presence like Dwight. Plus the whole run-n-gun **** from Phoenix that made him famous has become pretty outdated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Better DJ & Photographer 461 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 Keeping in mind that Dwight can run faster than any other center I think Mike D's system would give Dwight 30+ a game... especially if we get Nash! It's real simple, get rid of Otis and SVG (I love Stan but if it means 5 more years of Dwight), sign Dwight long term, buy out Duhon, get rid of anybody that can't run the floor at high speed. Get 60+ wins during the regular season then settle in and play D for the playoffs. Nash/Ish JJ/JRich Anderson/QRich Davis/Clark Dwight/Fran or FA Everybody runs full speed and crashes both boards, we don't play much D, we sub a lot, we win! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
My 6th Rebuild 6 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 I like Stan but when you go public with something that was told to you in secrecy, that means you can't be trusted. Coaches are much easier to replace than franchise centers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emory889 353 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 You need to add a Fire Otis option to this poll also. Although It seems the last 3 months everyone is in total agreement he should be canned. I don't think we need a poll for that. No one is in favor of keeping him. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marc Acres 3:16 418 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 I don't understand the D'Antoni disdain. He has put up a 6th man of the year, a MIP, 2 60 win seasons. I don't see the gap with he and Van Gundy. I think his style actually fits this team better. Ok so D'Antoni did all of that but when someone comments about how Stan has had 2 MIP's a final appearance or a 3 time defensive player of the year you are the absolute first person to say that he had nothing to do with that, can you explain that? I mean it's like you have a spidey-sense or something for when someone mentions Stan in a positive manner. You claim that Stan's offense is terrible and ruins players, D'Antoni's defense is non-existant! 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the notorious S.A.C. 89 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 I don't think we need a poll for that. No one is in favor of keeping him. Except maybe Alex Martins who must be waiting for Otis to make his 50?50 decision on if "HE" wants to come back. Please Otis decide "YOU" dont want to come back and be gm anymore. Do us all a big favor especially your buddy Alex who apparently doesnt have the stones to make a decision he should have made last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VCplusD12 91 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 I'm not wild about it either, but do you want Brooks-*****ing-Lopez and his busted feet instead? REALLY? If we have to go for a Center I say give me Marc Gasol and find a way to get rid of Hedo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VCplusD12 91 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 If we have to go for a Center I say give me Marc Gasol and find a way to get rid of Hedo I mean, it's not great but if Dwight demanded a trade I'd do it with some picks coming our way or something. The cap relief would be huge and we'd be getting rid of the black hole that is Hedo, also setting us up nice for the next free agencies. Just an example Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miller4Prez66 545 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 Funny how the anti-SVG people's number one arguement is how stubborn Stan is to make changes, but.... Jarrod N Rudolph @JRudolphSports @ciths33: Mike D'Antoni would be a BIG mistake. He doesn't make teams better, his system is flawed and he's too stubborn to make changes. Jarrod N Rudolph @JRudolphSports And the thought is to replace him with a guy that alienates his bench, can't coach 1/2 court, won't teach D and can't make in-game changes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
30Assists 342 Report post Posted May 11, 2012 Funny how the anti-SVG people's number one arguement is how stubborn Stan is to make changes, but.... Yeah, as much as I loved that Suns team, D'antoni is NOT the coach for this team. I'd MAYBE take Doc Rivers over Stan. Phil Jackson, if we could talk him into coming out of retirement. Florida's a retirement state! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
