    Wow. He may win coach of the year. That will be awkward.

    Not really... I don’t think you should be given more than 7 years... that is an eternity in the NBA. That team has plateaued... just like the Blazers... at least they are doing something about it.

    What will be awkward is if their next coach does worse.

    He's going to end up being the next head coach of the Bucks. Which IMO is a promotion. I think the Bucks have a brighter future than the Raptors.

    So, you advocate the Blazers giving Stotts one more year?

    I think the Bucks are stuck in the same boat as us. How much better can Giannis get? Brogdon and Middleton are at their ceiling. They have a bunch of bad contracts. I don't see much more improvement coming from them.

    Giannis can be an MVP Anthony Davis level player

    He's so good, the only thing he can really improve is his shooting, but I don't think he'll ever be a shooter.

    Yeah, took him 6 years to win a playoff game and then he beat a mediocre team before getting destroyed by a real team...

    You're right both teams should just tank for draft picks instead of building around suck ass Anthony Davis and Greek freak.
