That sure seemed like a long firing - feels like DJ Smith has been getting fired since early November. Feel bad for him hanging in the wind like that for so long.
They should have fired him earlier if they expect the team to turn the season around. They sit last in the Eastern Conference, and the playoffs are likely out of reach without getting a crazy coaching-bump. This should have been a team in the playoffs - or at worst, a bubble team in striking distance, not a lottery team. Will be curious to see if they have a coaching bump, and if they do, how long it lasts.
