Trade Ben Gordon, Austin Daye and the #8 pick to minnesota for their #2 pick, martell webster, wesley johnson and nikola pekovic. Draft Irving or Derrick Williams(whoever is available) and address other needs in free agency. Resign Jerebko and give t-mac the role player role.

I'm all for debating on who we think the next coach should be, but we should wait to see who the actual candidates are before criticizing Dumars and Gores for a list of names that was invented without any research or sources and then re-posted as "news"... BTW - love @PantsPooper's comment on Jackson and Sloan - and I would add Adelman to that list...

Hahahahahaha! Face it man, Detroit is not the first choice for any free agent. It's something we have to compete with. It may be ahead of Toronto and Cleveland, but free agents will never select Detroit over LA, Miami, Boston, New York, etc. Your motto seems to play to the Atlanta style of maxing out Joe Johnson. I'd rather not. As far as coaches... Woodson would be fine with me. I've said it before though, we need players more than coaches. Think a few years ago that Spoelstra, Carlisle, Scott Brooks were 'must haves' for all of these teams? No. They had good players and coaches who could handle them. We all have been exposed to a particularly <strong>bad</strong> player manager in Kuester and have been brainwashed to think that coaching matters <em>that </em>much. I won't argue that coaching is a moot point, but I will argue that no coach could make our players a contender.   I’m snickering at this line: “If we had been spending what the Lakers and Celtics have over the years, we probably could have 7-8 championships by now.”

He was also on our 2004 title team like Kuester was. Also remember, the difference between Woodson and Kuester is that Woodson has proven he can win as head coach.
