    If both Washington decides to jettison Beal and we hire MDA, here's an idea no one will like. How about Dame and Russ?

    Dame can provide even more spacing than Harden did for Russ, and MDA got him to play the most efficiently he ever has. The Russ/Nurk units wouldn't provide the same open lanes as Russ/Collins (switching units), but it could be fun for a year or two (the time remaining on Russ' contract).

    The people on the board won't like it at all.

    A lot of fans won't like it.

    Maybe even Damian Lillard won't like it???

    But you have to admit that would be a fun team to watch!

    Basket, Hoop, Hole. Bucket. Score, Dunk, I don't really care?

    Cup is Golf.

    I was operating under the assumption Russ is easier to get. Half the league would be after Beal, including the Warriors with a top pick and Wiseman.

    cup is also what you have vodka in as you watch the Blazers get outscored in the 4th Q 28-14

    Maybe he's advocating that the Blazers play dirty.

    One ring will buy you membership into the long tenured coaches club. Done zero since then.

    Yep, they're doing it the way we should have. Fire the GM and let the new one pick the new head coach.

    The Bucks haven't been using him as the go-to guy down the stretch because he's developed Chuck Knoblauch Syndrome with his FT shooting. They've been going to Middleton at the end of games. Middleton's good, but he's not that good.

    Damn I really wanted the hawks to win this series. One of the joys in life is seeing the media flounder to try to create stories and expose them as frauds (looking at you, ESPN).
