Well, if that happens, that pretty much guarantees that no self-respecting free agent will sign with us in the offseason, and anyone we acquire in a trade will be majorly pissed off for being sent here and will most likely not contribute to the locker room atmosphere. As long as Westphal is around, the chaos will continue and just grow, and we will remain the joke of the NBA. And that's before even talking about the mental damage done to our players this season.
Of course, new CBA whenever that happens will be affecting all of this. I think my point is that everything now looks like Westphal survives until end of season, 04/11. I would not be surprised if in last month they replaced him with interim Eyen or even Elie. They could then get a jump on the interview process to select a new "dynamic" head coach quickly (maybe Calipari) instead of waiting so late into mid-summer. Meanwhile, Petrie is bought out or just retires with some golden parachute if they find someone of his stature - hard to do unless you pay the really big bucks. To take it further, maybe Coachie finally retires and Petrie sits behind the bench back there in his reserved place. I mean afterall, Geoff's been standing like a statue in the tunnel for decades - it's about time he sits.
