    Health issues or retirement. If they really fired him, they are stupid. He should replace McHale

    He was fired. This was not health or retirment.

    I figured if anything, I thought he would leave them.

    This is a surprise to me. Did anyone see this coming?

    Believes they can attract an elite coach? Is this elite coach coming for free? They weren't willing to pay Ujiri or Karl, yet....

    Would be awesome if we could nab a guy like Karl.

    Too bad we're not in the market for a HC. :(
