Something was really wrong with Coach Bud. He just stunk. I heard a theory that he's never been the same since his brother tragically died in a car accident in spring of 2023, which is awful and would be understandable. But he just seemed to lose most of his coaching chops and instincts. Not ...

IMO the KD era has many lessons to offer about team-building. Among them: - Don't surrender a decade's worth of draft picks for 1-2 supposed star players making max money. - Don't go into the 2nd apron, basically ever. - Don't trade away all your fucking 1sts including swaps for a decade. Don't do ...

It is what it is. He used to sleepwalk to 18 and 10 when he had something to prove. He used to play hard for stretches when his coach and teammates held him to a high standard. Now all that's gone and he'll be 14/10-ish. Interested to see if they JJ or Luka/LeBron make a concerted effort to raise ...

Damn, a noon EST draft on a Sunday means I missed it and my team is a pathetic joke of old-timers. Season is over before it started.

I feel like Bridges is going to age in dog years and is already past his prime. While the iron man streak is commendable, that is a LOT of games played, with some deep playoff runs too. Nevermind almost always being a league leader in minutes played...I think the end of that deal is going to be ...

The team the Clips are assembling, assuming Beal goes there too, would win 65 games in 2016.

He hasn't been great, or even necessarily any good, but Maluach plays with an irrational confidence that I appreciate. The short memory he has is great, just keep going. Definitely needs a year in the NBA before we can expect anything though. I think this is why Richards will stay on the team ...

Looking at the roster now, there still must be a handful of moves in the pipeline. There's just not enough minutes to go around for everyone. Starters: Booker Green Dunn Fleming Williams First bench unit: Beal Allen Brooks Royce Malauch End of the bench: Gillespie Brea NHD Oso Richards I can't ...

I don't know why he's listing Green, Brooks or Brea like they're so much bigger than we currently have on the wing. And I don't know....I kind of like Richards and think it'd be smart to keep him around. Great size and athleticism, would be a really solid backup for us if Maluach isn't ready and he ...

He's way more Sam Hauser than Klay Thompson. Describe the difference. All I ever see Klay do is what's in his highlights Pre injury Klay was a defensive menace with a much longer wingspan, better athlete, could get his own shot. Brea is none of those things and has a negative wingspan. He's much ...

Kidney stones? All is forgiven! Ah, thanks. 😇 They are the WORST! I've been through it 2 times, technically 3 as the last time I had a two-fer with one day of relief in between. You have my respect…. I’m a virgin kidney stoner. My father in law has a two-fer as well. Brutal. Oh, man. Are you in the ...

Fleming or Penda at 36 and then maybe trade up if needed for Tyrese Procter and call it a draft.

I think we leave tonight with Bryant and Kalkbrenner.

Sign me up for that

I'm mentally preparing myself for a Spurs deal to be Sochan/Vassell/Keldon Johnson and pick #14 for KD. Or swap Barnes' expiring with Keldon Johnson.

Underwhelmed, but at least he has a solid resume. If you strip the MSU ties out of it, I think everyone would be fine with it. This isn't like Gregory where your first reaction is WTF? I think Ott will be a solid hire, but still preferred Bryant.

Ishbia could just go full petty and hire both of them...Bryant as HC and Ott as Associate Head Coach. Takes two good coaches from someone he hates, gets his MSU ties, and gets who I think will be an outstanding HC in Bryant.

On paper, Ott makes sense and has a decent resume. I think I'd be fine with his inevitable hiring if Ishbia didn't just hire an unqualified GM basically only due to his MSU ties.

Hope I'm wrong and Bryant (who was my favorite since the beginning) is the pick, with Ott coming too as Associate HC.

Hoping it's Bryant, but would also be fine with Quinn or Sweeney. No thanks on the others.
