But $31,406,061 is
above the maximum that Ayton is eligible to make in 2022-23.

Yeah his model doesn't make a lot of sense.

Could be James Harden. Or Steve Nash. Or Trae Young.
Take your pick.

I think Dirk’s comment applies for Trae here, probably Nash too. Harden fits, he had some moments on D.
In today's game, maybe Mitchell or Luka. The Lillard/CJ duo definitely fit this.

Today's Harden isn't elite offensively. But yeah peak Harden...

Good for Atkinson, he's a solid coach and should do well with a young team in Charlotte. I think he and MikeD were finalists for the job.

THat is what I read too. And I don't know why you hire a coach over 70 for a young team.

Hubie Brown was 69 when the Grizzlies hired him, and it was to develop a winning culture. Which he did.
Larry Brown was hired at 68 by the Hornets.

I am not saying you can't be good for a couple years, and we all know that is about as long as any coach lasts. But you are hoping when you hire them that they can be your coach for +5 years. I don't see a 75 year old being able to put in the same energy for a job like NBA head coach.
I think you meant the Bobcats for Larry--and he lasted 2 seasons before he was fired.
And Hubie's health forced him to defer head coaching duties and then quit in 2 seasons.

There are occasional situations where you want to bring in somebody to get the boat pointed in the right direction - like when the Suns brought in Cotton to replace John Wetzel (although that ended up lasting 6 seasons).

Well that's exactly what Williams and Jones did for us. Williams is a fantastic leader of men but I think he needs a good tactician by his side. He seems slow to make adjustments. I hope they can get him some help in that area. I think the loss of Willie Green on the sidelines was significant.

I wish Mike D'Antoni were willing to stay an assistant. I'd love to have him helping Monty. But you know he wouldn't want that job.

Anthony Davis is in the Chris Webber neighborhood of "what if's" at this point. He gets a pretty ridiculous pass right now because of the one title team he was on which happened to include arguably the best player ever.

More important than when he last shot a basketball is, how often is he on a treadmill or track? Watch those offseason snacks, big fella.
