    Scotty: “we should run X play”
    Chauncey: “he’s trying to win man, gotta let him go”

    This is definitely notable, look to see who they hire as lead assistant, if it’s a popular coaching name they could be lining up a mid season dismissal of Billups and an interim takeover.

    Also Rodney Billups don’t let the door hit you on the way out, such an incredible nepotism hire.

  3. This is excellent news. Rodney was a nepotism hire, and Scotty was considered one of the worst head coaches in the league during his tenure. A less experienced coach like Billups needs a competent staff around him. I hope they get some new guys in there that we can be excited about. I wonder who will be the new lead assistant

    Brooks was for me a “meh” hire. Big name, but i agree with most who say he isnt that great. But as an assistant I’m indifferent. Rodney Billups on the other hand
. Oof. I understand nepotism and all that, it is honestly how most folks get a job in the first place, but he brings NOTHING to the team. If you wanna hire your family/friends, they better be capable or they better be put somewhere they won’t actually influence anything.

    OMG I read the title too quickly and thought Billups was fired as the head coach.

    Ngl having Stotts as an assistant would be pretty dope.

    good news, now lets hire some assistants who are actually good at basketball. chauncey’s only strength seems to be that players like him and listen to him, now we need some people to make some good ideas come out of chauncey’s mouth
