  1. I saw bold Woj tweet and freaked out lmao

    Stotts is cool, good offenses under him always in Portland

  2. Guessing Jerry Stackhouse replaces Atkinson as the co-head of defense & Stotts replaces Kris Weems (or Q) as the co-head of offense (Weems and Q prob still on the bench tho)

    That being said as someone who doesn’t really pay attention to college basketball, anyone know how Stackhouse was at Vanderbilt?

    E: Stackhouse made the 2016-18 Raptors 905 one of the best defensive D-League teams during his tenure (winning a D-League ring in 2017) + made the [2018-19 Grizzlies (ft Kyle Anderson funny enough) a top 10 defense](https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/MEM/2019.html). Looking at the squad, even with Marc Gasol, that’s pretty impressive ngl. Apologies Stacks wasn’t familiar with your game

    E2: I forgot Terry Stotts used to be a Warrior assistant back in 2004-05. Time is a flat circle

  3. Best thing to come out of this offseason will be new r/rareterrys material

  4. Okay, okay! I was hoping the defense would be addressed with a coach known for that, but I’m optimistic

    Edit: My bad Jerry, I wasn’t familiar with your coaching game. Apparently, defense was a big deal at Vanderbilt.

  5. These are great hires. This is shaping into a solid offseason. Will still miss Brate ❤️

  6. Big win. Kerr didn’t get what he needed from Kenny Atkinson after coach Mike Brown left to take the Kings head coaching job.

    I think Stotts is a great coach and I’m excited to see what Stackhouse brings.

    Kerr always thrived listening to Gentry, Walton and Brown.

  7. I always believed the loss of Mike Brown was the biggest reason our defense has been so bad the past 2 years. Hiring experienced assistants is going to be huge for the team to keep them prepared.

  8. I really like the hires. Feeling old moment seeing people not know stackhouse as player and only as a college coach. FYI Stack was one those guys you just don’t fuck with. He will bring an attitude this team has been missing since Mike Brown left. Love it. And Stotts maxed out that blazer team. Decade of being a head coach. Good offense there. Love it. Great hires.

  9. Stotts is a great hire. I don’t hate Stack either, he’s been coaching for a while now and seems to have a decent rep

  10. I really like these on the margin moves. I am hoping we can secure a proven second option to really solidify as a top 6 team in the West

  11. Mdj and Kerr are working together, looks like Joe and gubes is trusting Mdj

  12. Stack will absolutely win in a “our assistant can beat up your assistant” scenario

  13. So far:

    Took on Lindy Waters II, drafted our first 7 footer since James Wiseman. Hopefully he pans out.

    Let cp3+Klay go to cut down on salary, plus out of his control.

    Brought in Melton+SloMo to bolster the bench.

    And brought in a redefined coaching staff to help Kerr.

    Dunleavey ain’t done yet and I love it

  14. I like Stotts and I’m also a tarheel fan so I’m good with this move.

  15. About time we finally upgrade our coaching staff. We need new voices for sure.
