Was never excited about the hire to begin with. Makes you wonder if they have their replacement ready to go. You don't fire a coach mid-season without a plan.....with a championship caliber team.
Doc Rivers name is obviously mentioned. Could they now bring back Terry Stotts who was very close to Damian Lillard in Portland?
After firing Budenholzer, I had hoped they would consider trying to get Jay Wright. Probably not a realistic possibility, but will be interesting to see if the new hire is unexpected.
Major issues on defense.

TNT crew (via CNN) reporting Doc Rivers has accepted the Milwaukee Bucks coaching position.
Given the situation I'm fine with it. I liked Kenny Atkinson a lot, but that's a hard situation for the Warriors staff just having tragically lost an assistant coach.
The fixes don't have to be complicated. Free up Dame more offensively, pack in the defense a little more to help hide some of their shortcomings. What they do between now and the trade deadline probably has just as much impact as the coaching change.

Doc Rivers and Bucks general manager Jon Horst will collaboratively work together on coaching staff personnel with the expectation of adding to an already great group of coaches the organization values, sources say.

I like both players, so it would have to return a nice piece.
