Sad to see him go, was hoping he would help develop Reeves into a starter for us. I hope we can hire someone else who is just as good or better at developing players

Also, question, do y’all wanna see his replacement come from in-house (alum or promotion) or from outside the K tree (like Lucas)?

Good for him but this sucks smh

This one hurts. I believe Amile was a huge part of Lively’s turnaround last season. I also was assuming he would be working with Reeves all off-season.

Celtics got a good one, a really good one.

Good for Amile. Bummer for us. Bring Nate back.

I don’t think he would be a big-man’s coach, which is probably what we need. But JJ Redick is going to be a great coach sooner rather than later, I know he has interviewed for multiple NBA jobs so far. Would love to bring him in.

Scheyer won't bring in someone who would take over Lucas' or Carrawell's position on the bench. My guess would be someone like Amile, a high character guy with some NBA cred, hopefully someone who can coach big guys. I don't care if it's someone from the Brotherhood if someone outside is more qualified. Maybe Miles Plumlee so long as he brings his wife along?

And the Celts are bringing in Porzingis. Hopefully Tatum can lead them to a ring next year.

William Avery mentioned as a possibility.

According to the Charlotte Observer, Avery is expected to be named to the Duke staff. Its been rumored for several weeks:

Avery was one of my favorite players and worked hard to get his degree. Would welcome him back, but we could use a big man coach.

Bring in Zoobs.

Big real estate ceo. He aint leaving to coach.

Big real estate ceo. He aint leaving to coach.

Zoubs opened a bakery after graduating. Ironically, there’s not a lot of dough in that field.

 

[sheyduke]

Going to be interesting. The bigs commented a lot on how Amile helped them progress.

 

[JimboSlice00]

No one should be shocked by this news. Being on a staff like Dukes, you clearly have aspirations of bigger things, and we provide the best of the best platforms to move up the ladder.

If Avery is his replacement, that's a wonderful addition.

Duke will be just fine, and congrats to Amile.

Maybe give Boozer a call? I think he might have some tight connections with a couple upcoming bigs.

Congratulations Jefferson...well deserved.

 

[christophero]

We could hire Bilas.

 

[hart2chesson]

We could hire Bilas.
