He was better than Mark Jackson, which I think might not be that high a bar to cross. Speaking of which, how is Mark Jackson a candidate for Milwaukee?
What if the talent dictated the team shouldn't have been up 16 or 17 in the first place? I'm not the devil, I just advocate for him.
with all these great coaches getting fired, is this an ownership blame game, or long term payroll decisions?
Mark Jackson couldn't coach a preschool basketball team. Kerr is better than Jackson, but that's not saying much. We saw once Kerr was without one of his two star guards for a year, things didn't go to well.
They hired some consultant to do that for Stotts. They let him go after just a few weeks. I'm guessing the coaching staff didn't want to hear about how bad the defense was and how ISO oriented the offense was.
I’m not against Billups as the Blazers’ coach next season. Monty Williams has some grit and dignity. I heard him speak in person months ago, and I’d like him as a Blazers head coach next year. Treat Billups well if the change is going to be made. What does Mikal Bridges think of him? Make it a two-fer.
If there is a max exodus in Philly and we get the first pick, maybe we acquire Embiid and probably move Ant to a third team and Nurk to the Sixers along with Wemby. That puts us with Dame, Embiid, Grant, Sharpe and a hole at the other forward spot that we would try to fill with our draft assets and TPE or the TPMLE. I don't see the Sixers trading the reigning MVP but if they did Wemby would go a long way towards it. I think they would stick with Joel, trade Harden in a S&T for someone they see as more complementary to Embiid and Maxey.. and go forward from there with or without Dox.
Doc is most definitely gone. Harden is out the door. I could see them sign and trading with Houston netting some youth and picks. Embiid may want out and ask for a trade. If he wants to play badly enough with Dame, he could ask out and the Blazers could make a move.
Yeah if we are giving them the next LeBron (meaning guy who changes the entire game) along with Nurk and whatever a third team returns for Ant we should get more back than just Embiid even if he's the reigning MVP. I don't know if I'd actually want tucker but the return of Wemby, Ant and Nurk might be more than even the MVP.
