Randy Wittman (Wizards), George Karl (Kings), Sam Mitchell (Wolves) have officially been fired. Rockets haven't made a decision on whether to retain JB Bickerstaff. Kurt Rambis (Knicks) is likely out though still clinging to his 'interim' business cards. Word is still out on Byron Scott (Lakers), Dave Joerger (Grizzlies), Brett Brown (Sixers). Suns seem likely to retain Earl Watson as head coach (though that front office is always up to something).
Meanwhile the Nets have announced Hawks assistant Kenny Atkinson as a candidate for the 2016-17 NBA Coach of the Year. Hey, if he gets to 25 wins, he'll get some votes. With all the talk of how the Sixers have tanked the last coupla years, it'll be interesting to see the reaction to the Nets just being horrible without any kind of building taking place. Will this seem a more 'pure' method of fielding a basketball team?
Kawhi Leonard wins Defensive Player of the Year. I get it: watching Kawhi play basketball is like watching Nolan Ryan mow down batters or Peyton Manning effortlessly torching a hapless secondary. The dude is such a great player I can't blame anyone for voting for anyone else. That said, Draymond Green was the DPOY this year.
