    I wouldn't mind having Udoka join our staff.

    We shall see, I guess. Apparently Old Men really can't shoot threes. And Paschall's and Wiggins' greatness didn't stop the Warriors from sucking total ass last year.

    When will the Blazers bring in an assistant with enough credibility to question Stotts once in a while? To offer fresh insights?

    Even a top assistant won't make as much as a vet minimum. And won't count against the cap. Smart teams invest in good assistants.

    I don't necessarily disagree, but I'm not sure I would go running to the Nets for an example of a "smart team".

    what is smarter: the team that gives Allen Crabbe a 75 million offer sheet, or the team that matches it?

    Well, it seems that Golden State usually has a former head coach on the bench.

    I know! I know!:hello:

    The smartest team is NOT the one that after matching, then traded Crabbe back to the Nets and had to eat Andrew Nicholson’s bloated contract (stretched at $2.8 million per year for 7 years) just to unload A.C., only to watch while the Nets then turned Crabbe into Taurean Prince who, BTW, would have made a nice solution to the Blazers SF spot.

    Not Olshey’s finest hours.

    We tend to have FUTURE head coaches on our bench.

    Unfortunately, with a shortened schedule, there won’t be All Star teams this season. All NBA is a good goal though.

    Legit did not realize this was in Flint. In the past couple of weeks we've had everyone in Flint and I've never even noticed. I went to see Bernie, though.

    C'mon now. You add Klay and Steph to any roster or take them away? Please come back to reality.

    They're going to be good, for sure. But they're not going back to what they were.

    An all-star team, or a season?

    Probably no time for all star week/game in a shortened season schedule depending on start.
