2018 NBA OFFSEASON

he was probably their best option. move makes a lot of sense to me and should hopefully get them over the hump. judging by these playoffs so far, Bucks feel like they could be #2 in the East

This doesn’t come out of left field. He’s got one of the best agents in the business, Bill Duffy. It’s called “orchestration.” https://t.co/RtU3G8Ardi

i think the suns are close to 100% to take him

lol poor sacto

a halfway decent org could probably call his bluff but i expect the kings to screw it up

lol man if i were ayton id do the same

Elfrid gonna be an all star now that he can actually see the hoop

what a good-looking young man!

for real, what a revelation

i give him props for his avant garde haircut but some experiments fail thats just what its like living on the cutting edge

agree. but sometimes, like say, when you're a professional hooper who needs to see the world around you... you have to choose function over form.

i bet i can do that

very kool that we will lose KAT Thibs makes him unhappy. I'm sure we can trade him for Luol Deng

They will 100% drop thibs over kat

they shd drop thibs anyway

TBQH

yeah thibs has been bad for awhile now and it's pretty transparent

m/l this:

You don’t lose Towns. You just don’t. You fire Thibs, you fire GM. You fire trainers and security staff and chefs and trade Wiggins and Butler and whoever else. You don’t lose Towns. You have him on his rookie deal. Everything else comes after “Keep towns.”

If you are doomed to lose KAT, no matter what you do (which was the fate of that perennial doormat, the Clippers, through most of their existence), then you are screwed for the next couple of years, no matter what.

But usually the root cause of such woes is an incompetent front office, so the real answer is buying some top-notch front office execs and give them about 6 years to turn your franchise around. That includes hiring the right coach and GM, of course.

no more dual role coaches. Ever.

has it ever worked in modern times?

someone will come out clean from the kat/thibs conflict but we don't know who it is yet

like i'm not saying thibs has been a good coach for the wolves but there are a lot of good players who would run through a wall for him. if kat isn't one of them it's fair to wonder why that is.

thibs signing the actually dead derrick rose in 2017 was the most lol thing

no more dual role coaches. Ever.

feel like this is quickly becoming the accepted view

idk he seems kina awful imo, like he doesnt even respect his players health and they joke openly about it online

i dislike all the big angry guy coaches

i dont like how he always looks like when alex jones is super angry

lol xp

like cut it out man this ain't good for anybody and you are going to die

yeah yeah i get it but the good bulls teams under thibs were so insanely hard to play against, i'm fine w/giving up on him as a tactician but he could get people motivated to play.

he mightve just had the right mix of guys whod give 110 on D until they injured themselves

yeah and basically all those guys are out of the league now except jimmy

Well partially true I mean joakim will be getting paid by the league for like 4 more years

bums me out to think about how fast joakim went from dpoy to cooked.

this is a nightmare

:(

hey fwiw i opened up trade machine to see how a kawhi-KAT deal would look

i traded tatum for him

if you die in the trade machine you die in real life

KAT to suns
Kawhi to t wolves
Doncic, tj warren and some minny youngster /salary to spurs

Interesting but kawhi + Butler seems kinda redundant

Kawhi could use the soft touch Thibs provides.

many big switachable wings isnt too bad, celtics have three of those guys, i like that trade

i had to check a second source to make sure teagues salary wasnt a typo lol

+ #1 --> spurs

Ugh do not want Teague

hahahaha nah

conversely

+ this memphis pick --> minny

The Celtics will get the Memphis first round pick in 2019 if it is No. 9 overall or later; or No. 7 and later in 2020. Otherwise, the Celtics will receive the Memphis first round pick in 2021 with no restrictions.
