According to Stephen A Smith

Wow you got that up fast. Just about to post it

 

[SportsNut]

He thought it and appeared.....

 

[mook]

sucks for cheeks (who i thought was ok). the construction of this team turned out to be very poor. they would have been better off with Josh smith and sticking with the running.

 

[signalcaller]

Elton Brand got his contract and returrned to not giving a shit.

 

[JPicks]

That's shitty on multiple levels. Always liked Cheeks but more importantly my Wizards bet is worthless now.

 

[wizardofodd]

yea, this team is supposed to be better than their record. brand is pretty much a no-show every day.

 

[broadwayjoe]

dumb move

 

[SF_capper]

yes blame the coach

 

[SF_capper]

how you guys think the players respond to this?

 

[Retburj13]

Elton Brand got his contract and returrned to not giving a shit.

exactly

Why did you guys like Cheeks? Crappy coach! The only bad thing is that NBA is starting to run out of bad coaches. All I have now is Brown! Wittman is gone, Flip is gone, Thomas, Mitchell, Avery. GMs, please bring the crappy coaches back. It is boring without them!

 

[MeasyMoney]

wizards +5.5 it is!! wiz should take it su

I'm fine with this move. I'm not a fan of DiLeo as a head coach. And I'm definitely not a fan of Eddie Jordan, who is rumored to be the next head coach of this team. My guess is this team makes a big move at the trade deadline which will change their "up-tempo" style. And after this year, Avery Johnson will be the head coach.

 

[Smokedawg]

I guess it ultimately depends on who they get to replace him before I can decide on whether or not this was a good move, but something needed to be done

they looked awful this year...just all over the place

now part of the problem is the players...Iggy isnt a 2 guard and shouldnt be playing there unless the point guard can shoot (which he cant - they need someone like Billups). Dalembert has somehow gotten stupider and regressed as a player and cant play with Brand to save his life. Speights doesnt get enough time.

It was pretty much a clusterfuck and something had to change

 

[Smokedawg]

Oh and I was at the game last night and when DiLeo got introduced, he was roundly booed

Now I dont think he was getting booed per se...more the decision, but still...Ed's on notice
