ESPN Reports: Dunleavy Out As Coach
Kim Hughes will be named interim coach. Dunleavy expected to retain GM duties.
Throwing this up for immediate reaction. I am sure Steve will be around in no time with all the gory dissection.
Note from Steve - Thanks to Seth for getting this on the front page. I'm working on a post right now.

DTS can't bear to pay millions for nothing
at least this way he saves money by not having to pay for a GM.
FA in 2010.
Yea
I think it’s only a matter of time before Dun leaves though. Clearly this is a nice way of forcing him out.
Same thing happened to him in Milwaukee. He had both roles, got removed as coach, then left completely for Portland.
In this economy?
Hard to see him getting a head coaching job again anytime soon. He might have no choice but to focus on being a GM for a year to try to repair his reputation.

where's firedunleavy when you need him?
by vaughtfromhisspot on Feb 4, 2010 3:31 PM PST reply actions
he's been banned from the blog...
apparently because everything wrong with the Clippers is Dumbleavy’s fault…and every one of his post is about how Dumbleavy is an idiot. He’s the unkempt, wide-eyed guy you see on the street that mumbles the same thing day after day. I think SP got tired of reading his posts after every game…about how Dumbleavy subsitution sucks, his gameplan sucks, his clothes sucks…etc.
I posted earlier how I had totally given up on this franchise and wouldn't
attend any more games, and then this happened. Well, it’s a bit late but better than never. And please don’t keep him on as GM.
Let's Hope
Dun is gone for good in every aspect. I don’t care where he goes. Just not anywhere near the Clippers.

someone give me a tissue
cuz I been cryin tears of JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all those games of chantin Fire Dunleavy finally servin its purpose :-X
I'm gonna call it right now
Bring in Jeff Van Gundy.
Most respected coach available right now.
Look what Larry Brown has done with the Bobcats. We need a coach who is well respected by the players.
Unless we can get Pat Riley to come run this team.
No idea why he’d leave Miami, Wade and tons of cap space…but whatever.
I second that!
I believe Van Gundy was available when we hired Duleavy. Those Van Gundy’s know how to coach.
However, Sterling is not hiring anyone new this season, and if Kim Hughes does well, he’ll get signed up for cheap.
I don't think JVG would mesh with Baron
He’s even more controlling than Dunleavy.
Is he?
He pretty much let TMac do whatever he wanted in Houston. Of course Baron is nowhere close to the player McGrady was in his prime but still. One thing is for sure, we’d be a really good defensive team with JVG in charge.
FA in 2010.
To Mike Dunleavy
you brought us the magical year of 05/06 and ill always remember you for that, but maybe its for the best.
its nice to show some respect BUT AFTER THESE NEWS, I CAN FINALLY SLEEP AT NIGHT NOW!!!!

ok. hold on
How can some say rid Dunleavy as gm. You don’t get too much better than him as gm. Only a handful. The man is a B grade gm. So I’m glad to hear that he is gm. And sooooooooo glad he is gone as coach. I’m still for Mario Elie as head coach for the next year.
by Takebb909 on Feb 4, 2010 3:39 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Uh he's a C grade GM
He’s had just as many, if not more, mistakes as successes. Name his best move. Drafting EJ at 7 was a pretty obvious move. Thornton was a good pick but most had hm going around there.
He hasn’t had any genius moves. He’s had a couple colossal failures (Livingston and Korolev).
He’s a C. Not horrible, not great.
EJ at 7 wasn't that obvious
people here were so pissed when he didnt take Bayless.
i can’t really blame him for livingston. koroelev is really my only main gripe with his GMing. i mean this guy got camby, butler etc for free… and deandre jordan i still think was a good pick.
thornton wasnt a no brainer, you could easily screw up that pick. i think he’s definitely better than average a GM. he’s not jerry west or darryl morey, but c’mon give tghe guy a break.
livingston was a colossal failure?
Before or after the injury? You can’t blame him for a mangled knee.
He’s the best thing we’ve ever had at GM and he got the old man to spend some money. Korolev was a laugh I agree but he didn’t make bad picks overall like in years past and he got solid vets for nothing (camby and butler).
I have mixed emotions about the firing…on one hand a shakeup was prolly necessary but unless the team has someone in mind/lined up that is a drastic improvement (proven winner, not this “lol anyone is better” stuff), then its just changing for changesake. The key is getting someone in here who can recruit for next year’s free agent bonanza.

Yea that's an option
It’s a gamble but I’m always up for new blood.
Tom Thibidou (sp?) in Boston is a defensive ace. Not sure about others.
I feel like this team needs a great motivator more than a good X’s and O’s guy.
yea, that guy is GREAT! i wouldnt mind him....wat about mark jackson or avery johnson?

"look, you can find any coach you want, bring him in here and run the situation. But I don't think they are going to do as good a job as I do." -Mike Dunleavy Sr.
I don’t mind him as GM just yet. Z-Bo wasn’t going to work out for the team (glad he’s doing well in Memphis, though), and he has brought in guys like Camby, Butler, and Rhino for next to nothing.
I’m interested in seeing who gets chosen next as coach, as that interim status on Kim Hughes is looming pretty large. Cassell would be awesome as a sentimental pick, but there are so many people out there, too. Lawrence Frank, Byron Scott, Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson, the list goes on and on…
FU*K YEAH!!! Cassel brought us to the playoffs & he can do it again as a coach
"Within every Clipper fan is a Laker hater."
Makes my day!
Sends a message in my opinion. A strong message. A bit odd in terms of timing, although this road trip has been brutal so I guess it’s not too crazy.
At least I'm also a Redskins fan... oh wait. My sports life sucks.
Let the experiment begin
Kim Hughes is interim. I wonder if he’ll trim down the playbook.

The Dead Coach Bounce.
Lawrence Frank rattled of 13 in a row for New Jersey and when Karl came to Denver, they surged like 19-2.
Here’s hoping we keep magic bullet lineup, and Hughes does better than expected. I wonder why not John Lucas? Anyway, I’m glad MDSr. is out as coach, but he made a us a REAL franchise (not necessariliy a winning one), and I will always be thankful for that. IMHO, Dunleavy is an above average GM, and the only man in history to pry Sterling’s wallet from his death grip. Hope he stays on in the FO.

"Within every Clipper fan is a Laker hater."
And do you suppose...
he’d still have his job if we’d beaten Atlanta?
i think the decision was already made weeks ago
wouldn’t have made a difference if we won
Do GM's have to travel with the team?
Maybe since he was already there, then just let him coach. Now that we are back in LA he can step down and stay in the office.
same here. he won a little. he got sterling to spend. he got sterling to build a practice facility. i dont think he’s the greatest coach, but honestly he has done a lot more for this team than really anyone else who has been coach or GM really ever.
Yeah, really if you think about it
It’s amazing he was this supportive and so into the team after so many disappointing seasons. He didn’t want to give up. Gotta respect that. But a change had to be made.
by dulciusEXasperis on Feb 4, 2010 4:24 PM PST up reply actions
Totally agree with this. Dunleavy is always someone who I will appreciate, because of what he did to transform this franchise's ways from the past.
I didn’t appreciate his coaching style and I am very glad that we have an opportunity to bring in a coach that can be more productive. I’ll give Dunleavy his props where he deserves them, but criticisms where he deserves those as well.
+1
I like him as GM, and I’d like to see him stay. He’s worked hard and deserves to be part of things next year.
+1
It’s easy to pick on the guy but you’re right, the effort was always there and he was the best we had ever had. Were his coaching methods the right fit for the roster we have? Maybe not. Did a change need to be made? Probably. But to dance around and piss on his grave so to speak is kinda crappy in my opinion. But that’s what fans do, so…
(Can’t back up but no I didn’t forget larry brown, he was actually the best coach but his lack of commitment puts him a rung lower).

I don't feel bad that he's stepped down...
I feel bad that so many people are “dancing on his grave”…

Oh well at least CMDsr is gone now next GMMDsr.
To bad Kim is not gone too.
Everything starts out New, Gets Old and Dies or is Destroyed.
Nice was hoping Huges would get the nod over Lucas.
I remember last year Hughes coached a game Dun was sick and he seemed to have a pretty different approach to the game; not nearly as controlling as Dun. Looking forward to seeing how he handles the squad. Doesn’t matter if he fails, at least we have a change.
by dulciusEXasperis on Feb 4, 2010 4:05 PM PST reply actions
Much respect to Dun
yahoo sports is reporting that he voluntary stepped down.
I hope that was the case.
He gets to leave of his own volition AND it’s a step in the right direction for the team. I don’t want Dunleavy gone, just off the bench.

I think so
Solid cap space, sunny So Cal weather, nice young pieces in BG and EJ and some future draft picks. We aren’t the Knicks or Lakers but we should be able to get anyone we want assuming DTS is willing to pay market value.

Dun is talking on ESPN 710 right now

He just said after the Christmas game against the Suns is where he realized he should step down.
http://lasportsops.tumblr.com/
He's saying they picked Hughes b/c he's more familiar with the players

If we hired Byron Scott as coach,,,,,, i see a time bomb waiting to happen
Baron and Byron dont get along!
WOW!
Did not see this coming at all. Dunleavy didn’t even get to coach Blake Griffin, lol.. I think MDsr should have stuck it out for the rest of this season, but if he felt this was what it takes to win, then that is what had to be done.
Makes you wonder if he and the players are clashing, and it has just become too much for him to handle the team.
This should be interesting. Hopefully, the players come out and play with pride on saturday night vs. the Spurs.

GM
I, for one, hope he stays on as GM. Before he arrived, the Clippers did nothing that resembled a professional basketball team. No free agents, no extensions, no nothing. For all his faults, he has changed the perception of the team. We might still suck, but at least now we’re trying. He deserves great credit for that. On top of that, his moves as GM have been above average. We have a decent, young core, and some salary flexibility. We’re in much better shape than many other teams from a roster flexibility standpoint. Question: if he’s still GM, won’t he pick the next coach? That could be interesting.
The Steve REVERSE-MOJO works again!
Steve said that Dunleavy will be the coach of this team in training camp for next season…

Right
I was about to post the same thing. Interesting.
How about this
AT, Butler, and (RDavis or Smith) for CButler
Washington wants “both cap relief and a young asset.” AT might appeal to them.
The trade works money-wise, and we don’t give up Camby.
If we don’t give up Camby, then Sool needs to be included
yeah not big on Butler
he is having a poor season though so maybe he could turn it around. Try to keep the team young.

Korolev aside, he’s done a great job in the off-season as of late and knows how to put together talent. He knows how to butter up ol’ DTS pretty well too, which I don’t think anyone else would be able to do.

This was a shocker.
I’ve been waiting so long for this day, but now that it has happened, I dont know what to say.
Chicago wouldn't do that unless they weren't going to make the playoffs
http://lasportsops.tumblr.com/
chicago wants cap.space for dwane wade….they want to get rid of hinrichs contract…plus …they dnt have need for tyrus since taj…took over his spot…so doing this trade saves da bulls bout 4mill
The Bulls want to move Salmons too
Right now they can get back Ray Allen for Salmons and Hinrich. If they do that they have the cap room for 2 max players (Wade and Bosh). A team of Wade, Rose, Noah, Bosh and Deng would be pretty damn impressive.
FA in 2010.
I wouldn't mind gambling on Deng if they'd trade him

id say iggy is better than deng or buler 4 us……he has high bball iq good passer …good ball handler…..something butler n deng lack of
Yeah but I just worry about Iggy's size as a SF.
Though looking at his stats he’s a career 5.8 rebounder and is averaging 6.9 this season. That’s pretty impressive. He’s the same age as AT, but he’s clearly light years ahead of Al as an established player.
So…sure, why not. Certainly gives us a deadly back court. How’s his defense and can he handle bigger players?
by dulciusEXasperis on Feb 4, 2010 4:53 PM PST up reply actions
He's a very good defender
and he makes clutch baskets. I actually would love the move if we could give up say AT, Telfair, Sool and Ricky Davis and our 1st round pick for Iggy. We dump 2 contracts (AT and Bassy) and our late lottery pick for Iggy. We’d then have the cap space to resign Camby and we would then have the MLE to use for some depth.
2010-2011 Team
SG – EJ
PG – Baron
C – Kaman
PF – Griffin
SF – Iguodala
Bench – Camby, Rhino, DJ, MLE, Bi Annual Exception
Looks like a solid crew to me.

dnt think they would do dat…..id say they would want something like camby n thornton 4 iggy…….wich im up 4
Why would they want Camby
They are looking to save money, not add legit players. They may want Camby if they want to trade him again to someone else for another pick.
FA in 2010.
Why would they want AT and Telfair?
Your trade looks like a regular grad bag, from Philly’s point of view. Don’t you suppose that they suppose that they can do better?
Would you do the same trade if they insisted on our Minni pick?
deng is average at best and would hamper further moves
No thanks, need to shoot higher than that

why o why am I not excited? Oh yeah, because Kim Hughes has worked under Dunleavy for far too long. Man I wish we can have a rennovation on our coaching staff. Except Jon Lucas. He’s a joy off the bench.
the "kim hughes era"
Is gonna last a couple of months at best so I wouldn’t really worry about it. Lucas is a glorified cheerleader…if he looked good in tight shorts and with his midriff showing, I’d suggest a spot for him on the clippers spirit.

The timing is a little weird, but I’m not complaining. It’s better than waiting until the end of the season. I’m just happy that there will finally be a “new” face/voice on the sidelines. I just hope Kim Hughes hasn’t picked up too many of Dunleavy’s habits/style. We’ve only seen him coach 2 times (I think?) and it didn’t seem as if he had, but now we’ll have plenty of time to evaluate him. Anyway, today is a good day in ClipperLand.

Plenty of coaches have
but those teams were probably going to make the playoffs anyways, they were just not doing as well as they are suppose to. I remember the Grizzlies changed coaches, the Mavs (Avery Johnson) plus a few others. That said we have little to no chance of making the playoffs. We’d have to go about .700 the rest of the way to even have a chance (23-10 would get us to 44-38).
