Random Other NBA Teams Discussion

You can see why Rondo and Carlisle would be like water and oil for so many reasons.

 

i think carlisle's one of the best coaches in the business still. tbh, the mavs seem like a hot mess, and they're clearly the ones putting out this information right now.

that said, he's not the right fit for us anyway. will say i'm surprised at how bad indy has been this year, though.

 

kidd's doing worse there with a slightly better roster, and they've become a petty franchise. cuban either took too much or lost all control, can't decide which.

i think this year's indy team is maybe the first time i remember a carlisle team doing worse than i expected. players don't like him, but he puts teams in positions to win.

sometimes, if you're the only competent person in the room, you get made to be the a******. i've seen this a lot in life...

 

Portland is being terrible. I see either they go all-in in Ben or Dame is getting traded

 

The Ben and Lillard combo makes so much sense. As does CJ and Embiid. The problem is Morey wants Lillard if he’s trading Ben.

 

Yeah, but other than that ....

 

honestly, dallas and SA's FO's inability to capitalize on those discounts is why no one will take them in the future. i think both coaches have done a lot with subpar rosters over time. hell, carlisle took the pre-sheed pistons to the conference finals! starting michael curry! i couldn't believe it. then larry brown gets the ring when they trade chucky freaking atkins for sheed! carlisle made oj mayo a near allstar and kept monta ellis from exiting the league 2 years earlier. and the list of players that thrived under carlisle and pop and absolutely sucked everywhere else is incredibly long.

to me, those have been the best two nba coaches for the past 15-20 years.

 

Wild! Just shows how much the game has changed in the past decade

 

need to move the line out and widen the court. thank you for coming to my (repeated) ted talk.

 

Damn Deron!

 

Personally, I think he should have been disqualified and suspended.

 

tyronn lue would have schemed them out of th...oh wait.

seriously, though--do you think the clips ever regret the george deal? i guess not since it netted them leonard, and george is probably still better than SGA. but it was SGA, gallinari, and a zillion draft picks.

it's looking unlikely they get a ring out of it, and i don't know that they've improved their brand as dramatically as they hoped (nobody cares about the clippers still).

just funny to look back now at the breathless proclamations when that happened. we were doomed and they were destined for glory.

 

Not to make this a Covid thread, but I just saw on realgm that a bunch of players on different teams are going into safety and protocol. They need to decide if they’re going to halt the season, or stop with these things. You’re literally taking extreme measures for these athletes, who are 40 and below, who are extremely healthy. You can’t control this virus, so why take these extreme measures? It’s affecting the season, games, and standings. The bulls literally had no one on their roster, I mean, how is that in any way, fair? Anyways, it’s just bad for the sport
