RE: AROUND the NBA: Donovan Mitchell Extends 3yrs/150 | Celtics up for sale! - khaled1987 - 07-03-2024 (07-03-2024, 09:53 AM)MAVS-SLO Wrote: I don't think that they are accepting that they can't go better, but i think that is result what happened when you give all the power of decisions to 1 player. JJ won't sacrifice his coaching career for Lebron, he won't make Bronny a starter. It is different from sacrificing a late 2nd to avoid fighting with your best player and the agent of your 2nd best player, to actually letting none factor player starts over valid options. Lebron only has power because Lakers management were clueless after dr. Buss passed away, he brought the kids legitimacy with a title and them recruiting 2 superstars. Before 2018 Lakers were losing race to freakin Greg Monroe. Right now he still holds the power of being the best player Lakers can have. But atm, Pelinka and Jeanie Buss has some fab packing, and they have avoided needlessly trading their picks. And chased coaches for long term projects (Hurley as a college coach, and JJ as a young coaching prodigy. I think they are doing what many teams does, and enjoying being in playoffs for now. Until the NBA gifts them the next big thing. RE: AROUND the NBA: Donovan Mitchell Extends 3yrs/150 | Celtics up for sale! - SleepingHero - 07-03-2024 Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) ESPN Sources: The Los Angeles Lakers are hiring Nate McMillan and Scott Brooks as top assistant coaches on JJ Redick’s new staff. Redick gets two longtime head coaches with a combined 1,189 victories to surround him. RE: AROUND the NBA: LAL Hire McMillan and Brooks as Asst. Coaches | Celtics up for sale! - SleepingHero - 07-03-2024 @ShamsCharania After retiring from a 12-year NBA career, four-time All-Star Kemba Walker is rejoining the Charlotte Hornets on new coach Charles Lee's coaching staff as a player enhancement coach.

RE: AROUND the NBA: LAL Hire McMillan and Brooks as Asst.

But I guess it is all worth it as long as they reach the play-in. RE: AROUND the NBA: LAL Hire McMillan and Brooks as Asst. Coaches | Celtics up for sale! - Winter - 07-03-2024 I dunno. Redick is a novice here. I could see him getting swamped by other coaches with head coach pedigree and head coach designs. RE: AROUND the NBA: LAL Hire McMillan and Brooks as Asst. Coaches | Celtics up for sale! - RGP1981 - 07-06-2024 Looking around the West... the Pelicans really shot themselves in the foot by hanging on to Zion for so long and paying CJ McGollum for so long. Their roster looks so meh. They've even drafted a guy whose name when pronounced sounds like "he misses", aka Yves Missi, lol. Trying to fix the Pels... while giving the Jazz a better shot at Cooper Flagg (the Jazz are the best franchise for him)... at the expense of the Nets (I see no good reason for the Nets to have a chance at Cooper Flagg). Pels get: Markkanen, Kessler Nets get: Zion Jazz get: The corpse of Ben Simmons and a haul of Nets picks, maybe some Pels picks too. Who says no? Follow-up trade... Pels send a 1st round pick to the Orlando Magic for Tristan da Silva. Fixed Pels: Dejounte/Alvarez, Herbert/Hawkins, Brandon/Murphy, Lauri/DaSilva, Walker/Missi RE: AROUND the NBA: LAL Hire McMillan and Brooks as Asst.

They should have gotten both. RE: AROUND the NBA: LAL Hire McMillan and Brooks as Asst. Coaches | Celtics up for sale! - Jason Terry - 07-06-2024 Lauri to the Warriors would be a nice move to compliment the good offseason for the mavs Tier 1 - Favorite OKC - minus weak link Giddy. Added Caruso and Hartenstein. They will be the main problem for years to come. If we were going to build a team to beat someone else, it should be OKC Tier 2 - Real Contenders Mavs Nuggets - lose Brown, J Green, KCP for nothing Wolves - all in with their draft moves. Only real option with the 2nd apron penalties looming Tier 3 - Competitive teams Suns - screwed long term and short term Pelicans - interesting if they can get a legit big Kings - Derozan would help but they’re going nowhere Grizzlies - who knows what to expect Spurs - they will be a problem soon Warriors - they are done even with Lauri Clippers - lose PG but i like their moves Lakers - one 20 game injury away from Hawks having their high lotto pick Rockets - no top end talent Tier 4 - Tank Teams Blazers Jazz —————————————————————- The tier 3 teams with the most hope going forward are the ones with their own picks. Pelicans, Grizzlies, Spurs and Kings The interesting teams in the west are the tier 3 teams who don’t have their picks. Suns, Clippers, Lakers, Rockets. The Suns and Lakers are really in a bad spot The Warriors are at a crossroads. It looks like the pressure to compete now is too great and they will do something big. It’s a great thing for us long term that these top west organizations are in such a bad way. I take it as warning too that we shouldn’t be too aggressive on single player transactions. That’s what did these teams in RE: AROUND the NBA: LAL Hire McMillan and Brooks as Asst. Coaches | Celtics up for sale! - SleepingHero - 07-07-2024 Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) Sacramento Kings No. 13 pick Devin Carter is expected to undergo left shoulder surgery next week, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Carter’s status at the start of next season is in question, but he is fully expected to make a full recovery with no long-term issues. RE: AROUND the NBA: SAC #13th Pick Carter To Have Shoulder Surgery | Celtics up for sale! - LukaMVP - 07-07-2024 have to keep finding young and talented guys to fill our roster instead of giving role players big deals they don't really deserve, after we win a championship. guys like Bruce brown and Caldwell-Pope are good players and they played significant roles on their championship run, but it doesn't mean they aren't replaceable. the presence of hard cap makes it almost impossible to keep everyone on board so the team needs to be aware who're the cornerstones and who else are just decorations imho. RE: AROUND the NBA: SAC #13th Pick Carter To Have Shoulder Surgery | Celtics up for sale! - KillerLeft - 07-07-2024 I'm a little less bullish on the Hartenstein fit with OKC than most. On one hand, they need a real big off of the bench in order to shore up some rebounding issues and to provide more opportunity to rest Chet Holmgren during the regular season. And, it would be good if that guy could play some with Holmgren, too. Hartenstein checks those boxes. On the other hand, Hartenstein might be a little overqualified for that role, which, along with what they paid to get him, makes me nervous they're thinking about playing a two-big lineup quite a bit. This would be a mistake, imo, as the only team currently doing that to any level of success is Minnesota, and it's exactly what's holding that team back. I will never be scared of Minnesota in a 7-game series, no matter how good Edwards gets, as long as they are playing that way. OKC, meanwhile, was the team closest to being about to play the way Boston plays. There are ways Hartenstein can help them, for sure, but I don't think he's going to be as much of a standout there as he was in NY last season.

How important is it to upgrade garbage minutes? For me it is important when there‘s a chance to grow into a much bigger role. For example DJJ was signed as a garbage time player - but there was always the potential for him to earn a much bigger role. Same with Reed - isn’t there a good chance he could grow into one of our 4 core big men ahead of Kleber that are manning the 4 and 5 positions, especially if he can stabilize his three point percentage?

You make good points. But I would nit-pick the top. Denver took big steps backwards after finishing 4th in the west. (Ok, tied with OK for 3rd.) Minny basically stood pat after a near sweep in the conf finals. Thunder improved at the edges but remain soft in the middle. (Call them Al.) Your Western Conference Champs, meanwhile, added a star!

I don't see him as a 4 on this team. The 4 needs to stretch the floor, and a guy that shoots less than one 3 a game does not stretch the floor. We have one of the best backup centers in the league and a useful 5 out center (when he is healthy). There is very little avenue to center minutes on this team without significant long term injuries. |
