NBA Coaches Play Musical Chairs

It has been quite a week in the NBA of trying to figure out what coaches are in those cities that need some new guidance. We begin with the team that still thinks Shaq is the answer. The Phoenix Suns have decided to hire longtime veteran Terry Porter. The LA guys here at the Toilet always hated Porter when he played with those dispicable Blazer teams. All this signing does is add more fuel to the fire between the Phoenix Suns and LA Lakers. On a judgement point I thought it was the safe move to make. Porter will instill some defense into their system but he can run and gun a little on offense. The problem is that the Suns may have already missed their window at championship glory when other teams in the West were re-tooling their teams.

With the first pick in the NBA coaching draft the Chicago Bulls select Vinny Del Negro. Seriously? Where did this move come from? After Doug Collin's pulled out of the running to return to Marv Albert next year Vinny got the call on the golf course. But the real question is who wouldn't take this job? They have such a nice young core of players and with the #1 pick coming in, Paxson will ship a package out and come up with a contending team next year(at least in the East). Del Negro was always a smart player and will instill championship success and the winning mentality into this young Chicago Bulls squad.

The Detroit Pistons made the quiet, low key head coach hiring.Personally I thought this was the best move of all the signings. Michael Curry is a young gym rat. He works hard and reminds me of the coach who won't take NO for an answer. He will make his players work hard and won't take any crap from anybody. It might take him a few years to gain respect but he has the potential to be like Byron Scott in New Orleans. More updates to come..
