FLIP SAUNDERS HAS BEEN FIRED

About time. They next need to blow up the entire team, as they have too many selfish guys and no leadership.

I thought he was fired weeks ago?

Wizards have sure been playing like they have no coaches.

Flip Saunders was the worst NBA coach with any sort of longevity. Don't know how he kept getting jobs. Tim Floyd was terrible, too, but he just worked on the Bulls.

Funny, I was watching the Sixers last night wondering if it was going to be his last game.

I just saw "been fired" and assumed it was D'Antoni

*leaves thread disappointed*

They should suck enough to get the 1st or 2nd pick in order to take Anthony Davis.

Team was already blown up.

Wall needs another year to develop. He should have stayed in school for 2-3 years to begin with.

Crawford needs to learn how to pass.

Singleton is a great defensive player.

Lewis, Blatche, Young, McGee are all gone after this year. Most likely to be traded as well.


Team is full of 1-3 year players, they get a good coach they could develop nicely, otherwise they are just following the Hawks building project.

I don't think Wall is the problem...he's a good player for them...their best.

But you have around him a ton of me first type guys. Young, Blatche, McGee and Crawford are all guys who look to shoot first, ask later.

McGee, someone will pay him 8-10 a year because he's insanely athletic and hope he can become somewhat like Chandler behind a good coach.

Blatche I just think needs a change of scenery...he's a solid player...that whole team just has no aspect of playing basketball, they just like and1 street team.

Of course the logical choice is to give Randy Wittman the reigns.
