Flip to DC?

PrintIn September, Flip Saunders made a cameo at the Wizards' training camp as the guest of Eddie Jordan. Now, he's in talks to become Jordan's permanent replacement. The word leaked this weekend, and the Washington Post's Michael Lee reports it could be close to becoming official. Given the Wizards' roster and Flip's strengths as a coach, I couldn't think of a better situation for him.

Looks like a good fit to me. The one good thing Detroit had that Washington does not have, however, was a culture of defense.
Certainly, Flip benefited from that culture, as he did not have to create it from nothing — and one might even wonder if he could have. But maybe that’s just me being a skeptic.

(healthy) Washington next year = Phoenix East
They’re going to put up 120 a game and be fun as HELL to watch— that is, if Arenas, Haywood, Jamison, Butler, and whoever else can stay healthy. Throw in a top 3 draft pick (Thabeet, anyone?), and you’ve got the makings of an entertaining playoff team at the least.

Flip’s a good coach but I doubt he can get anything out of this roster that Eddie Jordan couldn’t.

I read that title in my RSS and immediately wondered why Flip Murray was leaving Atlanta…

Javale McGee = Thabeet with a year of NBA experience. Don’t sleep on his potential.

I’m with QD. I came here to slam Ol’ Neck-Craner, and basically, QD killed him softly.

*minus the ‘good coach’
Now Doc Rivers is a ‘good coach’ for a ring they got in spite of his dumb ass.
And, soon, so will Mike Brown be joining Doc in company.
