I didn't say I would axe D'Antoni automatically. However, we're in a situation where our 2 main rivals have either made it to the finals or won the whole thing in the last 3 years and we have done neither, we have an old team with little room for improvement, we're paying out massive amounts of money for the team, and our lack of improvement relative to teams like the Lakers is threatening to take us out of the small group of elite teams.

If we once again fail to progress at all, would you do nothing? I would like to replace Kerr with a bona-fide NBA GM if we fail to at least make the finals. Time is running out.

I'd rather Rick Carlisle or Jeff Van Gundy than Mike D'Antoni honestly. We need a coach that knows more words that 'RUN RUN RUN' and 'RUN EXPAND', also known as our only 2 plays.

Kerr will be given at least 3-5 yrs.

No finals this yr, I was expecting him to make a move then, not at near midseason. We all know the move he should have made was last summer. I will continue to say this, til the end of time. But he didn't want to break up what we had, or what we thought we had when he just took the job. But apprently, 6 months later, it was OK. When the team fails, I expect him to explore all options to get better defensively. Though that could've been done yesterday in getting Artest... He'll probably also try and deepen the bench.

Only way D'Antoni gets axed in the next few yrs is if the culture of the team changes dramatically.

I, too, want a deeper bench but what's the point when most of the time the bench is only 3 deep? LB is a lock so we could try strengthening the other 2 spots. Still, I wish D'Antoni would learn to use the reserves. Then, it would make sense to have a deeper bench. I like how the Celtics will field their 2nd unit at certain times in a game. We should try that once in awhile.
