It's going to be really interesting to see where Obie lands. Everyone is
looking at New Jersey. Does anyone else see that as a disaster waiting
to happen (in other words, please let it happen)? The minute the Nets
become a half-court team, they're finished. And does anyone think Obie,
who calls a play every trip down the floor, wouldn't turn them into that
kind of team?

I thought the whole idea of firing Scott was to get Frank in, who's apparently
Thon's and Kidd's favorite. 
I don't think they're planning to hire a new coach.

Philly, on the other hand, seems like a great fit. He has a team built
around one guy who he can isolate all the time and let him go
one-on-one. He has a lot of willing role players who have won with a
defensive emphasis before. And Obie, of course, is a Philly guy. That
seems like a good fit for him. Of course, Philly would max out as a
mid-level playoff team under Obie. As would any team he coaches.

Yeah, Philly struck me too as the perfect team for Obie. It plays directly to
his strengths as a coach.
