Take him off your wish lists ..

I never wanted him as our coach, but I'd take him in a heartbeat over Eddie Jordan.

Drat. Someone needs to hire Eddie Jordan. Someone besides the Kings, that is.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I think Flip is basically the better than average but not elite coach that can guide you through transition years without killing the team (which is all I'm asking for) and I don't think Jordan is that guy. I suspect that the Wizards with a healthy Arenas and a high lotto pick think they are a much better team than we are and might expect more than Flip is capable of.

Most proven coach on the market is now gone. Good hire by the Wiz. Meanwhile we are apparently chasing the Wizards castoff.

Ugh.. this signing makes my head hurt. As Brick said... now we go after the Wizards garbage.

That's what I was thinking. Every team out there must know we'll be looking for a new coach. If I was them, I'd have grabbed up Saunders quick too.

Yeah I really like this signing for the Wizards, we'll see how it pans out.

I am now on the sign Avery Johnson bandwagon

well ****. I wanted to hire him after reggie so he could start implimenting his system and get a head start on next season.

I am very jealous.

Hire JVG please. But my guess is Eddie freaking Jordan is a done deal.

I might be alone, but I like the idea of Eddie Jordan coaching sac. Coachie and SAR seem to really be helping with Jason and Spencers developement.

I am fine with Jordan, Coachie, SAR and even Hamm coming back.
