Any chance Hall and others will stay due to the caliber of coach we hired? Or,

Of course there's a chance. Love to hear from Richie very soon.

More than likely both stay. Would be shocked if not

I would say a little from column A and a little from column B

Cougar McGregor

It certainly can't hurt. Hall himself said he wanted to play in a system and

LifeLongLakerFan

I'd say there's a good chance but I don't think anyone on here knows for sure.

DanSmith

Sounds like both are going to stay.

My understanding is that KY did turn down the Nets, or at least took himself out of the running.

Same. Especially given their relationship

If you search what he does say, you'll notice he doesn't go political.

Wrubell got stabbed in the back with no warning and couldn’t make sense of it immediately. He’ll be back

thewaterboy

I think he saw $30 mil on the table.

Yeah, that was a big part of it. He also was positioned to get more as an NBA HC

He was married in 2011, and he has 3 kids. That would make his kids single
