Fans treat all those hirings and trades as they are available on demand. They are not, low
There was a handful of guys available at the time. I'd have to go back and research exactly who was unemployeed 3 years ago (could you do that?). Fact is, we never even talked to anyone else...this guy was named even before LB was out the door. Besides, you don't just hire a coach by opening your door and checking to see who fell in.

You DO THE LEG WORK. YOU TURN OVER EVERY STONE. YOU TRY TO FIND THE GUY THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU, NOT JUST THE GUY WHO'S STANDING OUTSIDE WITH ROSES AND CHOCOLATES.

Do you really think that dumars didnt do that? Do you really think that dumars was fooled by "flips' charm"?

Is it that a sign that dumars actually didnt try other options?

ESPN.com reports that it only took about 24 hours for the Detroit Pistons to come to terms with former Minnesota Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders.
Yes it is.

It is not. We will never now how many negotiations dumars had. He signed with flip but it does't mean that he didnt had more negotiatons AT THE SAME TIME.

And we do no know what Nate wanted. Theory that Nate wanted pistons but dumars decided to go with flip is purely speculation.

Re: On the Loose: Larry Brown
Yeah Nate was available but as all have indicated he was already signed by the Blazers before the finals were over. Phil Jackson was also available, and but he re-signed with the Lakers even though he secretly liked what the Pistons had on the floor.

Flip had a wink-wink handshake with Joe as soon as troubled started brewing between the Cavs GM and the NY papers regarding LB. Flip was hanging around the Palace as early as the second round.

Five worst moves during Joes tenure>>, Drafting Darko, letting LB Go, hiring Flip, letting Memo go and not demanding a S & T for Ben.
