Jimmy's gonna need his boots tonight
NBA Season is Returning This Year!!!!!!!
- Thread starter DAHITMAN
- Start date
Why? He got them Lebron and basically forced NO to give them AD, by forcing the market. Only reason it didn't happen faster is Demps, a Black man, didn't want to do another Black man a solid. He still lost his job. Just another instance of us not supporting each other.
The most eye-opening thing about this summer’s coaching searches is how Lue and other Black coaches rarely get credit for Xs and Os or getting the best out of players.
While some will argue with that assessment, they can’t argue the longstanding diversity issues in the NBA’s coaching and front-office ranks. There are only five Black head coaches in a league where 81.8% of the players are Black, according to interbasket.net. Meanwhile, Sixers general manager Elton Brand is just one of seven Black front-office executives with different degrees of decision-making power.
Those small numbers are reasons why a lot people in the league are focused on recent coaching vacancies.
The New York Knicks, the Brooklyn Nets, and Chicago Bulls all had qualified Black coaching candidates, but filled their vacancies with white coaches. In addition to the Sixers, the Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder, New Orleans Pelicans and Rockets all have vacancies. Chicago filled its vacancy with Billy Donovan, the Knicks hired Tom Thibodeau, and the Nets welcomed first-time coach Steve Nash. All three men are white.
The Sixers might receive some criticism for hiring D’Antoni, who is also white, instead of Lue, a Black man, during a time when the NBA is promoting Black Lives Matter.
But it’s hard to criticize the Sixers for not hiring a qualified Black coach when, in fact, Brand, the person publicly in charge of leading the decision, is another Black male.
Yet, as first noted Wednesday, this coaching search has been eye-opening for several league sources.
The sources have said it’s hard to tell who’s in charge because of ownership’s earlier-than-expected involvement. Sources have been saying for weeks that the job is D’Antoni’s to turn down. They say he’s the guy the ownership group wants. One source even said the 69-year-old would have to bomb his interview with the Sixers owners not to be offered the job.
The problem is that Brand is supposed to have a huge input on the hire. The ownership group is only supposed to approve or deny Brand’s suggestion.
Lue must wonder if it’s worth interviewing for a Sixers job that is D’Antoni’s to turn down | Pompey

All these white coaches and GM coming up for Black Live Matter, shit is ridiculous. They might as well trade both of those cats. None of them will work on Dantoni's system.
Brand should have never let Jimmy Buckets go

Jimmy caused him to land funny, he could’ve messed up his knee.
He did nothing but run by Brown.
Look again, he clipped his left leg making him land funny.
Most definitely clipped his foot
