Paxson will not lose his job. He could quit and "lose" his job. I don't see him losing his job, especially if the news that came out that VDN was the aggressor is fact. Either way, Paxson's not going to come away squeaky-clean from this whole situation. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he's forced to resign in the offseason. Oh and the team post-deadline would've been the 5th or 6th seed if Rose and Noah were healthy the entire second half. If you had John Salmons and Tyrus Thomas post-deadline with Rose and Noah both missing extended time, this team would have been in a very similar spot. Again, no harm and definitely no foul by trading those two guys. As for the series against the Cavs, I hope we're just competitive and hopefully we can steal a game. Finishing 41-41 this year after losing the team's leading scorer from a season ago as well as having Rose and especially Noah miss significant time down the stretch is definitely something that I can't really complain about. As much as I dislike his coaching abilities, Vinny did an adequate job this season.
