That baggage will be at least 20 years old when it's time for Duke to make a hire. I'm not saying it is likely to happen, but it would be my FIRST call if I'm Duke.

I do wonder if Duke is going to let K name his successor (I would hope not), but I'm sure they'll at least let him give his recommendation. Tough spot for Duke.

Great Talent on that team. They should have won the year before but couldn't close the deal. Not great coaching.

Great GM? Yes
Great Coach? Not so much.

Stevens right now looks like a 'Pop' who entering his prime.

Yep.

Meanwhile, pop looks like the coaching version of Moses Malone circa 1994. A shell of his former self.

Doesn't help pop that the new cornerstone of his franchise seems to have had a mental breakdown and has quit playing basketball.
