    Was a bump from 2014. He lost his GM privileges.

    The Coach+President thing hasn't been working very well of late. Rivers, Stan Van Gundy and Budenholzer (recently lost front office role also) have all had issues. Popovich, of course, is one exception. However, most people don't have his ability to see beyond tomorrow's game when they are engaged in the everyday coaching grind. It helps that Pop has been at this forever and never has to worry about losing his job.

    Although we haven't seen the finished product of the 2017-2018 season, I would say that it def looks like its working out for Tom Thibodeau this offseason

    Clippers offer GM job to Thunder executive Michael Winger

    The LA Clippers have offered Oklahoma City Thunder executive Michael Winger its general manager job, league sources told ESPN.

    A deal is expected soon, league sources said.

    Winger, an assistant GM/team counsel for the Thunder, would report directly to Lawrence Frank, the Clippers' new president of basketball operations.

    Winger, 37, has spent the past seven years with Oklahoma City, working closely with executive vice president and GM Sam Presti. He has developed a reputation as one of the league's most respected young executives.

    Winger worked five years with the Cleveland Cavaliers under ex-GM Danny Ferry, before joining the Thunder in 2010.

    Well...I mean, he did basically make his son the franchise player so I'd say he broke them.

    Doc's a good coach, but he was a bad GM. Not sure about this extension, but as long as he's not making personnel decisions, maybe the franchise can bounce back in a few years.

    I don't understand.

    Dude has 1 ring, which he got with a team stacked almost as much as the Warriors are.. 3 HOF: Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce..

    Dude blew a 3-1 playoff series

    Dude can't even keep his locker room in check, we hear all the time from CP3 how that locker room with Blake was fractured, no real team unity.

    Dude gets 5 years @ 10 MILLION a year?

    WTF
