2024 NBA Offseason

[DJ Fieri]

I know you were upset when the Lakers fired Handy.

I thought about this earlier today.

I think pretty decent chance Handy would have wanted to be fired when Ham was. He might of even asked to be.

Just like the HC wanting to pick his own staff, a good assistant wants to be able to pick the head that he works with.

Now that the new coach is in place, perhaps Handy is interested in joining Redick’s staff.

True.

And I would love if if Redick brings back Handy. Hopefully, Handy understands it is a business like you basically said. And would be willing to return.

 

[DJ Fieri]

In my perfect world we would fire Pelinka eventually and bring in Bob Myers. I thought I read somewhere he would like to return to the NBA.

Fan in me talking.

True.

I am sure he understands. He knows how the business works.

Might have even wanted it

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ramona Shelburne likes the hire also.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Welp, the draft is next.

Let's make a trade on draft night. No Zach though.

We don't need to make no stinking trades. The Lakers need to deal with their own various FAs and take Edey at 17.

The Thunder had to deal him but the Bulls are going to be very happy with this trade

The WC is getting better.....the Lakers have to do something since AD and Bron were relatively healthy and were still a #7 seed.

SA will be better as will Memphis if they can stay healthy. Not to mention Houston if they add some players in FA. They acquired Adams at the end of last season. That is 3 more teams competing for the playin.

Not to mention Denver, Minny, OKC, Dallas, Phoenix, LAC, NO, Sac, and GS.

So basically Portland and Utah are the only teams in the WC that will not be really competing in the WC.

Caruso was the perfect guy to get in return though.....he fits the OKC culture and you will love the guy.

What FA's? Prince, Dinwiddie, Lewis? Pretty sure they will resign Christie, at least I hope they do.

 

[Retroram52]

Castleton. What to do with DRuss, Prince, Christie, and Lewis. If we draft Edey in the Draft, that is a good step in the right direction for the 5.

Pretty stark contrast with Caruso’s dome and head band to Giddeys flowing locks

 

[WiggyRuss]

The most the Thunder could get for Giddy was 30 year old Caruso on a 1 year contract?

Seems like they sold low on the asset.

 

[eaglesnut]

Told me what? What anybody could?

He was the betting fave to get the job, LOL.

I told you too. I'm not wrong often on this stuff.

Not when he diddles another 13 year old

They could’ve gotten multiple firsts and they chose giddy


That is…a choice

 

[eaglesnut]

I,ve hated the Lakers over 50 years,but I,d like to see him do well.

Same. He's a good dude. Luckily it won't overlap much with that schmuck lebron's time there.

Just watch him develop if they put the ball in his hands, and they will

An important aspect of the trade
