Yes, but playing Speights and Brand together would make way too much sense, wouldn't it? Stop trying to suggest things that would make a lot of sense! -_-
Bad coach checklist:
-Inefficient offense that seemingly has no clue what it's doing on a possession-by-possession basis
-Defense that routinely leaves at least one good shooter open beyond the arc at all times
-Questionable substitution patterns that never seem to have players in a position to succeed
-Terrible end-game management (now I know some of this was on Miller tonight, but why did Mo call a 20 second timeout right out of Orlando's timeout?)
-Refusal to change minutes due to performance on court (does he still think Green and Evans deserve the minutes he's giving them?)
It doesn't help that he has a PG who pretty much went from good to bad in one offseason, a big name signing who has utterly failed to live up to the hype, a petulant star who's off to a cold start, a backup PG who doesn't know how to pass and has been ice cold from the floor, and only one other guy on the bench worth playing. But what he could do is play that backup PG at SG (with Ivey, as Skates mentioned) and play Speights WAY WAY MORE.
On a completely, different note, I just had fun with the trade machine!
