    With no roster improvements, guaranteed.

    depends on if lebron retires, imo. i think redick is probably safe, actually. unless this year's a tire fire of his doing (like ham last year), he won't be fired this year. my guess is the following year is lebron's last (and at least his last as a top-level player, if it's not this year), so the coach at that time will get more leeway.

    was interesting he didn't get the 6-year offer hurley did.

    But that's the problem. We can't buy low on Trae Young. He's due $43 million this season. You'd have to throw three guys into that trade for him. Plus a pick or two. I don't think he's worth that at all.

    "buy low" as in you're not giving up blue chip prospects or a boatload of draft picks, as is usually the case for a frequent allstar in his prime.

    I was thinking more in terms of draft picks.

    I don’t think he’s worth half that considering he’s useless on defense.

    I'm not in favor of trading for him

    His lack of defense really puts a hole in the team

    That along with the huge salary

    What we need is better defenders

    Ha! I hope y'all have been well.

    I've been around. Just really, really busy. I started a couple of businesses... One of which has taken a ton of time. My son's basketball career has taken a lot of time too. He's now 6'10", can shoot the cover off of the ball and will be a freshman scholarship player at an ACC school this fall!

    JJ can be Ballmer Jr. in that last clip since he knows how many toilets the Clippers Arena will have.

    little concerning that he touts TS% but doesn't really know what it is, exactly?

    the "surround lebron with shooters and you're going to the finals" line sent shivers down my spine. luckily, that wasn't jj, but if he agrees, we're doomed.
