He's the man
He's the man
He's the man

5 yrs, $35M

Not looking forward to this.

Not looking forward to this.
That was my initial reaction but I think he's about as good as we could have hoped for.

I'm looking forward to him being a dick to GoodSHILL after games.

I don't mind this. Helluva lot better than what the Lions do. New blood. New challenge for SVG. He'll hire someone that is well known to help him. Maybe not well known to me, but to insiders.


Never had a losing season? That's what I read. Well, we haven't had consistent winning in a while. I think the players will like him.


7 mil for both jobs seems good. What'd Phil get? Phil has a track record, but it doesn't seem bad.


GS was going after him so Gore had to sweeten the pie. So he did with control of the team as opposed to a huge contract? That's what it seems to me. 5mil a year to coach is the norm, isn't it?

Probably the best choice to get us to the playoffs. I can pretty much guarantee we will make the postseason next year.

Fantastic read, check that out.

I'd rather have Stu Jackson as GM than Otis Smith.

But wow... SVG is a new world order.
I wonder what other porn stars we'll get.

good head coach. not sure what he'll do as an FO man though. first order of business should be to try like mad to trade josh smith. (ryan anderson + eric gordon...? probably a pipe dream)

then hope to hell we win a top 3 pick. if not draft a shooter like stauskas. we need several of them.

With Stan Van Gundy in, Greg Monroe out in Detroit

Goodwill at 28:50 or so.

No Goodshill?

Stan's a really interesting guy to listen to, but the sound is a bit low on that.

Gores was rocking the head-tilt, though.

sorry but that article is crap. the whole premise of the story is how there's no room for greg Monroe given that we have Drummond and they use an unnamed GM to back that up. then they go on to say how he could fit in charlotte next to Jefferson or NO next to Anthony davis. so if he could fit there, why not in Detroit next to Drummond?

the issue is not money either as we have plenty AND we have an owner with deep pockets. Monroe is not going anywhere and it will be josh smith we try super hard to dump not greg.

Will Sheed still be an assistant coach?

No need to apologize to me, I didn't write it.

We should be blaming Louis.

Bro, no need to be apologizing to dipshit. He didn't write it.

Blame Louis.

(Izzo was offered the same five-year, $35 million offer to coach and run the Pistons that Van Gundy eventually accepted last week. Izzo also declined when Cleveland fired Mike Brown and called for the second time in four years.

Taking Stan fucks Phil -- awesome:

The Knicks, sources say, remain convinced that they were on the brink of a deal with Kerr when Stan Van Gundy unexpectedly took the Detroit Pistons' offer to serve as their coach and team president last week, which led to Golden State making a renewed pitch to Kerr that ultimately trumped New York's offer.

Nobody cares about Dan Gilbert.

Nobody cares about Dan Gilbert.

He's been downhill ever since he fired David Hall.

The D. Hall and Chauncey commercials were the best.
