    I think Kemba is loyal to Charlotte and why the hell would Jimmy B go there? He has a better, younger team in the East that his personality fits in well with and who could pay him the most money. He said he would resign too.

    I was just throwing out names to be honest. I'm not even going to pretend to know what goes into an individuals choice when they make them... Wouldn't really surprise me if the Lakers got a couple big name fa's who just want to play with Lebron. Wouldn't surprise me if they whiffed again either.

    Hoiberg's contract prolly has a lot to do with why he was fired. He was essentially due for an extension and was coaching for his job. 2.5 mil is not much of a hit.

    Terry's contract runs through 2020 and at an average of 5 mil per. So will our ownership be willing to eat ~ 10 mil while firing him?

    Is there a better candidate out there? Maybe he's already on the bench?

    Maybe. That means he has 2 years maybe. No, I don't want his permanent replacement coming from the bench who will use the same system.

    Stotts' 2 years @ $5M per year is the same as Hoiberg.

    Paul Milsap Western Conference Player of The Week. I remember SOME on here claiming he wouldn't have helped Denver make the playoffs last season and him missing time from injuries didn't effect/affect their season.

    We need a 2 for 1 trade. I'd bring in Bennett for a look.

    Doc Rivers coach of the month? What is this world coming to? Wonder if any of you predicted this?

    I think you should start an "Is Paul Millsap for Real?" thread.

    His track record is unreal. I don't think there has been a more complete career from player to executive in the league. Auerbach from coach to head executive might have had more success since West lost so many finals as a player.

    There are many things I don't understand. For example, the difference between Jim Boylen and Jim Boylan.

    Bulls Asst. Coach Jim Boylen just became Bulls Head Coach when Fred Hoiberg was fired. In 2007-08, Bulls Asst. Coach Jim Boylan became Bulls Head Coach when Scott Skiles was fired.

    https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/boylaji99c.html

    You guys are all ahead of me, such as how everyone is posting that they are totally bored with the same-o same-o Blazer problems a year after I temporarily defected to the Jazz, I was so bored out of my skull. So you must have already figured out the Boylen-Boylan quandary. Can you explain it? Have any of you ever seen Boylan and Boylen together at the same time? If so, are they an item?
