The issue is we are looking at a coach trying to address a problem created by the front office.
It's the coach's job to manage the team he's given. For a rental coach, I'd do everything I could to win and I wouldn't care about anyone's feelings.
I could see them on a rental contract for two years with a team option on the 2nd, and perhaps player option for 3rd. He isn't exactly in high demand and they might get him on the cheap.
Reeeely hoping with this pickup they run with Monk/Ellis starting and Fultz/Lavine off the bench. That's a crazy 1-2 punch of a lineup:
Monk/Fultz
Ellis/Lavine
DeRozan/LaRavia
Murray/Lyles
Sabonis/Val
