Hornets hire Jeff Peterson as Head of Basketball Ops.

I get Peterson has been saying nice things about Clifford, it sounds like they have a pretty good relationship. But what should our actual concern be that he brings Cliff back? I mean, he was always supposed to be a stop gap coach right? We need a coach with a more modern approach and one who understands current offense. Cliff wants to run an iso heavy 5 out offense which we have never had the personnel for nor is that a recipe to win games. I am just hoping they mutually part ways at the end of the season at this point.

We are not bringing Clifford back. They are saying nice things because Clifford is a good person. New staff always hire their guy. They want to change the culture and bring their own people in.

Bringing Clifford back would honestly be our nightmare.

I was willing to let Cliff have one more chance to impress me after that deadline but says it all that the team looked better than it ever had before having time to sit and practice his system.

It's the over the top praise. It's like Clifford is his long lost dad that came back into his life or something.

I don't think we'll bring him back. But I wouldn't be surprised either.

This, I don't it's a coincidence that the offense tanked once the new players absorbed Clifford's offense.

It's not as if teams didn't have scouting reports on Grant, Mann, Micic, Bertans, and Curry.
