Wizards don't Flip-flop...Saunders is new coach!

Well Wizards fans it's official, Flip Saunders is the franchises 22nd head coach. Flip and the Wiz tentatively reached and oral agreement last week but it is now signed in ink. There will be an official announcement today and a press conference tomorrow. Flip will sign for 18 million for a 4 year contract. Saunders has a pretty good resume, but the question is will he be able to deal with Gil and somehow get this team to play at least a little defense?

Congrats Flip you got a long summer ahead of you so get started ASAP!

IS FLIP IT?

The Washington Wizard are having contract discussions with Coach Flip Saunders. How do you feel about this pick. For seven consecutive years, Saunders failed to get out of the first round of the playoffs. In the 2004 NBA Playoffs, the Minn. Timberwolves advanced to the Western Conference. However, he came up short, falling to the Los Angeles Lakers 2–4 in the Western Conference Finals. He also had a stint in Detroit that didn't turn out that much better. So my question is will Flip & Gil make it together? Is one of the big 3 (Caron, Antwan, Gilbert) going to get traded next year? Well one thing for sure it that Flip is a hell of a lot better than what they had before and now. This might be what DC needed to get the fans going again. But Coach Saunders hasn't proved to anybody that he can win the big one.
