why bring back something that we saw didnt work with the Mavericks when Nellie was here, hasnt worked AT ALL for a more talented team than us, and again hasnt worked in GS the past few years either? I think Cuban is smarter than this.

As much as Avery drives us crazy, the coach with three first names would drive us all off the ledge. Mike more so than Avery doesnt develop young guys, relies on old veterans, encourages NO defense whatsoever… how would this make us feel any better? Because he is offensive minded vs defensive minded?

First off, defense wins championships. His style has never won it all, Avery’s has time and time again. Just because he thinks heavily on offense (which is what we needed) doesnt mean he is the right answer for us when he brings all the other same issues we have with Avery.

Suns fans might react to this same knee jerk notion of bringing in Avery, that we are with Mike. But knowing Avery like we do, is Avery’s only weakness is that he doesnt run his offense efficiently? That’s the way Suns fans will look at it. That’s the way anyone who supports the notion of bringing in a Nellie Protege to Dallas is looking at this now. There are much better coaches out there other than him, should we eventually fire avery. I am not sure that is the best choice at this point, but should he go, the coach with three first names is the last person I wanna see here.

I couldn’t go through next season knowing our “system” gives us zero shot in the playoffs. Too draining…

if he gets to bring Amare with him.

should Avery get the boot as per Mike Fisher this morning…

By the way, what a long (and very preliminary) list might look like: Mavs assistant Mario Elle, Jeff Van Gundy, Boston assistant Tom Thibodeaux, Detroit’s Flip Saunders, Rick Carlisle, fired Bobcats coach Sam Vincent, Phoenix’ reportedly available Mike D’Antoni and Washington’s Eddie Jordan, who happens to be a "Kidd guy.’’

In no way am I suggesting this… but it wouldnt surprise me if Riley’s name isnt thrown out there also. I cant stand him it all, but wouldnt be surprised if his name somehow gets thrown into this mix.

that Avery’s fate will be decided today at 3pm CST on ESPN radio today…

Uh Oh….
