man...the 2nd apron has really shifted things in the NBA. Teams much quicker to admit mistakes while dumping players and salary
People will claim that Joe is horrible, that he has done this or that wrong, and that's just the reality of internet culture. All I know, having no experience as a general manager in the NBA, is that he has built a team I'm excited to watch. What he's accomplished in a small market isolated from the most of the country, is truly impressive. There is not an complaint to be made that will disprove this. A great GM.
Tanked and picked 3 good players. Didn’t let himself get bullied by Miami. Traded Dame for very good players and then got Dame back. Fun team to watch. Yang pick looking good.
Also theres so many trade restrictions. Backup level player on overpaid contracts used to have a bit of a market at the trade deadline. Now seems like player and teams know a trade won't happen so they just do buyouts.
might be that the middle class, contract-wise, in the NBA is drying up. Max deals and MLE-level deals
Yeah seems like we see some of that. Also a lot less emphasis on pure PPG, which is actually probably good. Players like Clarkson, Sexton, Simons, RFA Cam Thomas, etc just have no market. These guys used to get huge contracts from stupid teams every summer.
I mean, I'm not arguing with you but who the fuck know what we were doing this last season? Pretty obvious the two previous seasons but last season was a real Kolde tainted head scratcher. I don't think for a second that the perplexing nature of last season was on Joe though. This upcoming season I'm pretty sure the goal will be to win the most games possible and I think both Chauncey and Joe will have a true track record starting there.
It's bizarre.... Not sure if he thinks it's funny or it's a cry for help or what but yeah I don't think I could be so annoying even if I tried. It's the blatant definition of a troll. I guess if I was - people could just put me on ignore (or maybe a bunch already have).
