    I would take Ball and a New Orleans #1 pick (they own several) for CJ

    we gotta move on from CJ. He plays zero defense, thinks too highly of himself, makes way too much money and he’s around 30 - we gotta get what we can! Let Ball run the point and Lillard play SG.

    NOLA could add a second #1 pick in 2024 (Lakers) to sweeten the deal.

    sorry guys - this is a coaching thread!

    The nets offense sure looks a lot like ours. Iso iso iso iso. They just have better players.

    he probably jumps ahead of dantoni immediately.

    Still think it’s Billups. If it’s someone else, ownership overruled Neil. I just don’t think they would’ve allowed Billups to interview if they had an issue with him.

    I don’t think Bud gets fired. 7 games against a team ranked higher? Idk

    Has he had the talent to get out of the first round? I've been surprised that some of the rosters he's had have made the playoffs.

    Luka carries that team more than even Dame does this team. His USG and FGA are much higher than Dame.

    No to Bud. No to D’Antoni. Stop with the middle aged/old white dudes who always look like they’re about to piss their pants. Fucking go for it. Overpay for an elite coach. I will never ever ever understand how an organization has nooooo problem paying role players $10M+ (Meyers) but won’t jump on the phone and offer Spo/Pop/Bill Self/Jay Wright, whoever you live, and say here’s $15m. Make them at least think about it. Instead they go with known commodity retread for $5m. Yay

    Just because you offer it to them doesn't mean they take it. Lol.

    I didn’t say they would. I said make them think about it. If you want a coach who currently makes $5m and say hey we will give you $10m, they’ll listen.

    Vogel was a retread. Kerr was an unknown. There’s no exact science to this shit.

    Spo has his entire life set up. Unless you can set his entire life up here he aint ccoming.

    Pop is gonna retire.

    Jay Wright sucks.

    And I forgot the other one cause he probably sucked too lol.
