Hooped Up

Sometimes getting fired ain’t such a bad thing and I speak from experience, but we’ll talk about my old job as a Sinbad impersonator another day. Right now it all about Chris Mullin getting the axe in Golden State. 

“Golden State announced Monday that Mullin, as widely anticipated, would not be retained as vice president once his contract expires at the end of June. Instead, Mullin will remain under contract – and presumably, in the shadows – while assistant Larry Riley takes the reins and is introduced as general manager today. Mullin fell out of President Robert Rowell’s favor following disagreements on several high-profile issues last summer – namely, the punishment for Monta Ellis’ moped accident and negotiations for Baron Davis’ contract extension. Rowell then signed coach Don Nelson and swingman Stephen Jackson to huge contract extensions while letting Mullin enter a lame-duck season.”

Donnie Walsh is surely salavating as he reads this!
