Wow... I like it! JVG... I was thinking Avery Johnson, but I think he'd get into too many conflicts with Gil.
EJ is a good guy and I'm grateful for his playoff appearances. There were just too many flaws with his rotations and coaching style that don't build a championship team. Perimeter defense has always suffered, even when healthy. The Princeton offense would too often bog down with unnecessary passes that killed the shot clock. Plus, the players seemed to have tuned out a while ago.
I consider this season a wash anyway (we need a Rubio or Griffin to compete in the East in the future) and I think EG's gonna do some roster reshuffling. The youngs are gonna get the burn they need. Anything from here on out is totally on EG now.
