[The Q]

The business clearly disagrees.

They have the right be wrong.


And they are

 

[thunderc]

@thunderc Morey (more so Doc not playing young players) really fucked up here

View attachment 321089

He has truly become a part of the core. I hope he doesn’t get screwed out of the 3 pt contest

 

[The Q]

Yeah.

Surprised Lilliard is so loyal to that team since there are some shenanigans going on there.

Yeah. Very weird

Need wash to free him

Let him and beal get a shot at…something

 

[thunderc]

If I’m OKC, I’m extending him right now or in the offseason.

The Thunder were smart enough to sign him to a 3 year contract before he ever played a game for them. Presti any good?

 

[Wamu]

Right now not even close to the biggest trade all time. Here are a couple.

-Bucks trade KAJ to LAL for Junior Bridgeman, Dave Meyers, Elmore Smith & Brian Winters

-Red Auerbach trades HOFers Cliff Hagan & Ed Macauley to St. Louis for the # 2 overall pick- Bill Russell

-Auerbach trades the # 1 and # 13 picks in 1980 to Golden State for Robert Parish and the # 3 pick- Kevin McHale

No games till 5pm?

Damn it.

It’s a theme with the Sixers. Charles Bassey was cut as well and has acquitted himself well playing back up Big minutes down there. I would expect to see him make another step forward now that Poetl has been dealt. I also expect somebody to finally work to develop an offensive game with Thybulle…something the Sixers couldn’t do.

Doc Rivers isn’t a horrible coach. He isn’t an elite coach either. One glaring issue throughout his years though is an inability to develop young players. Anybody who gets better under him is purely accidental or they go outside the franchise to get better. Both Maxey and Embiid have worked with outside guys in development of their game.

They usually have an assistant coach delegated to doing that. Developing young players.

Like Phil Handy with the Lakers.

Just saying.

The Lakers have young players? Sorry, but the Lakers have young players?

The only player on the Lakers over 30 is LeBron James who is 38.

 

[bksballer89]

Good decision

I guess I consider young players as still being on their rookie deals.

He has played in a whopping 24 games.

Last night Tatum became the youngest player to hit 1,000 threes.

Go Celtics!

To be fair to doc, quite a few young guys got worse almost immediately after leaving him


Rondo
Brandon bass
Big baby
Sullinger

Bassey was showing life in limited minutes even last year

That’s on Morey imo

And you know I liked both him and joe

Quite an accomplishment.

 

[Shanemansj13]

All the young players that were previously on the Lakers were developed by other teams…at least it looks that way bc they got more of an opportunity

Austin Reaves.

Max Christie.

 

[thunderc]

Pretty good explanation of the Muscala trade I think

Mike Muscala trade reveals a lot about the OKC Thunder rotation

The Oklahoma City Thunder have traded big man Mike Muscala to the Boston Celtics, and it has left OKC fans freaking out on social media.

And Handy has been here for several years.
