If he is it'll be a shame. The Spurs just have the Suns number like the Patriots had the Colts for so many years.

So now with Avery available, I wouldn't mind seeing him coach the Knicks instead of the rumored favorite former Knicks point guard Mark Jackson. Anybody agree or disagree?


I don't follow the NBA closely, but I thought Johnson was one of the best coaches in the league. Dumping him certainly doesn't guarantee success in the future.

Another NBA coach, who is overlooked and not given his just due, is Maurice Cheeks.
