    I think Coach Pop might be a touch overrated …

    Sure he is...and he'd be the first to say so. Geez, look at the players he's had to work with, make it much easier. Just ask Steve Kerr or Steve Nash.

    https://basketball.realgm.com/wiret...opes-To-Reach-Decision-On-Future-Over-Weekend

    Bradley Beal has been "seriously mulling" his future with the Washington Wizards in recent weeks and "has been very much on the fence" about whether to continue with the team, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic.

    Beal is using the weekend in hopes of arriving upon a decision during the upcoming week, which would make a trade easier due to the fluidity of draft week.

    Beal has the ability to become a free agent next offseason due to a $36.4 million player option after the 2021-22 campaign. Beal is eligible for a four-year, $182 million extension this summer with the Wizards — or the 10-year veteran max extension next summer, totaling five years and $235 million.

    Terry is getting paid millions not to coach the next 2 years....his assistants aren't ...Terry is probably enjoying the hell out of retirement and Jim Moran now has to live in Detroit.....choices

    Congrats to Coach Moran. Terry will coach when he's ready. He's a quality coach. Haters gotta move on.

    Everyone on that roster, coach or player are.....

    KD could never carry a team to meaningful games, we seen that once Kyrie got hurt....The "Best player" couldn't win two games

    Pop never been the same after that stack team left him......

    Dame is what I said he was, a stat stuffer that does not play winning basketball.....Logo shots get you a "Ooooooo and Ahhhhhhhs & a 38% playoff win percentage.........Plus a
    donner une fessée à by France for your troubles.

    Bam......We seen the Heat this year, moving on.....

    Tatum is not really much better than Jaylen.

    The rest are role players.......Tatum is actually a role player.

    Keep KD, put Curry, Kyrie, Harden, Bron, Kawhi, Klay, AD on that team....They win by 50.

    Random Thought watching the Olympics:
    Giannis could be an incredible volleyball player.

    On the other hand... Every team has 2 or 3 guys the same height as him, and they all jump seemingly just as well. And Giannis isn't exactly known for his refined skills (although, he's certainly got a soft touch around the rim), so that wouldn't set him apart.

    My question is, how good at basketball could some of these Olympic volleyball players be? One of the announcers during the US-Russia game said that all European volleyball players are failed soccer players. Makes me think they largely took a different path than the Jud Buechler types, and there's an untapped pool of near-7'ers that can jump out of the gym, dive on the floor, etc.

    FIRST DOMINOOOOOOO

    On the trade itself. I think that takes New Orleans out of the CJ conversation. Interesting deal for them. Jonas has the same problem with Zion that Adams does.
