2023-24 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

Damn the roster construction. We kicked him out with the trash. Announced his firing before the players were off the court. Put him in the position where he had to process the firing and address it in the post game interviews after our season ended that night. Pinned the Russ s*** on him, the only one who's hands were clean in the entire Russ sage. Only to fire him for a coach who could handle Russ, he couldn't and we still had to trade Russ.

Unless you offer him silly money. Like $15m a year for 5-6 years, he'd tell us to f*** ourselves and I'd applaud him for it.

Based on the available jobs, I sit a year or go join Kidd's staff and see what opens up next summer.

 

We never should have fired the guy but it would be awkward if we rehired him after the way management treated him like garbage

 

If I was Vogel, I would not want to come back to the Lakers.

But also… I don’t want Vogel back anyways.

Yes we did Vogel dirty the way we unceremoniously fired him so quickly after the season ended. But I still agree that it was time to move on. He lost the locker room and even aside from the poor roster construction I was not a fan of his offensive schemes

 

With Denver cap situation: it would be hilarious if Vogel comes, KCP comes back, and then trade for Caruso.
s*** that would be a fun as hell team (AC, Caruso, KCP, Lebron, Vando, Rui, AD, Wood).

 

i think the ship has sailed, and i agree with others that he lost the stars, and thus he was doomed in any case. but:

yeah, we were definitely in the wrong. if i'm vogel, i count phx's phat stax while i do some broadcasting. then i jump in as a HC or assistant in a location of my choosing in a couple years.

he makes sense there, imo. not here, but yes there.

 

LOL go Frank …. be like LA City cops and other workers and double dip with two salaries. Their full salaries with early retirements like at 55 and then start working another department same city.

 

Yeah, he’s getting 20 mil to stay at home. I think he’s going to be picky on the next roster. He decides to take on so that it’s a fit for his style. He’s gotten two raw deals in a row IMHO. He may not be perfect, but it does show you the power of players when they decide to tune out a coach.

 

shaq petty as always and dumb for saying what he did, but he's right that SGA should've won it

 

i've grown tired of the mvp politics, like weezy. but if it's best player on best team, it's tatum. if it's best player, it's jokic.

if SGA gets it, there's no real formula, and i'd pick luka and probably giannis over him anyway.

 

Good.

Now if someone else would just hire JJ our pool would mainly be guys I am interested in.

 

I like it when players voted the MVP, Kareem got all the awards (6) because his peers knew he was the best, then they took away the right to vote from players and he never won it again lol

 

Don't know these young dudes may all name Paul George as MVP as they like playing him on 2k

 

Do it,Rob ASAP

New Orleans Jonas Valanchunas will enter the market of free agents this summer.

According to insider Michael Scotto, «New Orleans» is not going to resign the 32-year-old center. Valanciunas was forced to spend the final minutes of the matches on the bench. His playing style does not fit with Zion Williamson.
When Zion is healthy and playing, Valanciunas occupies the paint and clogs driving lanes for Zion. While he’s still a double-double threat, he’s not an ideal fit for this roster,

 

So Pelicans not going sign Ingram, Valanchunas because of Zion.But he injured more often than Kawhi.
Nice management, probably the best in NBA
