2024 NBA Offseason

[Stakesarehigh]

Not my money

Fuck Monty. He got what he wanted.

But fuck him.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

And Siakam re signed with Indiana

Great day for Detroit lol

 

[LogicMan]

Business ain’t booming

I think people expected a sweep. They dominated all season.

 

[LogicMan]

It's difficult for the Pacers to get stars in Indy if it isn't by trade or the draft. They had to sign him, not a bad deal too.

That was a no brainer. That dude balled in the celts series.

The Celtics were just too good plus there were lots of injuries.

 

[dtgold88]

He is an unknown.

That is better than a known commodity who is mediocre.

Not necessarily......and could even argue the known commodity in a different situation will be better than mediocre (never mind who is to say he was mediocre?).

 

[The Q]

That was a no brainer. That dude balled in the celts series.

They’re still not quite what their run said this year

But it was the right move

They still need another one or one of their two recent lotto picks to actually fulfill their potential

So, what's the holdup with the JJ signing? Rob and Jeanie lowballing him too?

Can we also sign a new owner and GM/VPBO?

You may have competition from the Pistons for Borrego now

Vet minimum actually.

No chance Bron would go for that.

 

[dtgold88]

I said could be.

Could.

Yes. He is very knowledgeable and he has a vibe with LeBron, which is pretty important for the short term.

You are too hung up on experience. He has tons of experience in locker rooms. He will learn on the job to be sure.

Steve Kerr had no coaching experience before the Warriors hired him. That worked out fine.

Reddick is a basketball lifer.

Borrego just seems like a meh option. Lakers need a home run, not a slightly above average coach.

Reddick could be a home run

steve Kerr's team plays pretty well when he's away, too. Nash no experience did not work out fine (like JJ also said to be hired because a star or stars wanted him there).

Now I'm not disagreeing Reddick could work out or even be an HR but you think he does any better than Borrego did had JJ taken the Charlotte job at the time?

But fuck him.

Horrible.

By all accounts, he is a classy person.

 

[shopson67]

No chance Bron would go for that.

Doesn't stop these ridiculous rumors. Feel bad for Bronny, he could very well get drafted as bait only and further stunt the start to his career.

In fairness (and I want to vomit) the Cavs is the better job.

 

[shopson67]

In fairness (and I want to vomit) the Cavs is the better job.

They have the younger roster, sure. That amounted to exactly one more regular season win this season. That "gap" could be attributed to Ham's hands in his pockets.

 

[dtgold88]

I didn’t say he would. I said could

Comparing JJ Redick to Steve Nash is casual fan shit.

Steve Nash is a very odd person. He is not relatable. And after he retired, he was away from basketball entirely until he took the Nets job.

That is not JJ Reddick at all.
And why can’t Reddick have experienced assistants?

There was no chance Nash was going to work coaching Kyrie and KD.

This has a chance.

since I'm capable of seeing both sides in a discussion I can agree that's a good point about Nash being away from the game (if that's true as I didn't follow what he was doing post player career). But wasn't it true Kyrie and/or Durant pushed for Nash?

Also agree JJ could have experienced assistants. If you are saying he needs to be hired as a bigger name? OK. But that doesn't mean it works.

Guessing if we want him he would choose us over the Pistons...but agree if Pistons are a bird in hand and offer sooner he would not wait. I say this not knowing if he has ties that would make him prefer Detroit. Hell, or even if he's the Cavs first choice. Heard they will be interviewing a Mavs assistant who used to coach our G league team.

That is my point.

He might suck.

But because he also might be very good, it is better to take a chance on him than it is to hire somebody you know to be average.

I will take the chance on upside in this situation.

 

[DJ]

The Cavs is the better job than the Pistons is what I meant since you said the Cavs may have competition since the Pistons need a HC.

Get some coffee.....

Never once predicted it would work.

I said it could work.

And DJ is wrong for acting like it is some horrible choice.
