Around the League: Offseason

[In2ition]

This would solve all our problems, haha

The Suns only improve by 9 wins, but hey we kept Booker and Bridges. They could have anyone of us play PG and win the title.

From my perspective, Presti and the OKC FO are at fault as much as Donovan for their shortcomings. I don't think Donovan is an exceptional coach, but he's not exactly on his last legs in the league.

My coach rankings
1. Nick Nurse
2. Erik Spoelstra
3. Greg Popovich
4. Brad Stevens
5. Steve Kerr
----
6. Terry Stotts
7. Rick Carlisle
8. Monty Williams (homer)
9. Mike Malone
10. Mike Budenholzer
11. Mike D'Antoni
12. Doc Rivers
13. Billy Donovan
14. Taylor Jenkins
15. Quin Snyder

Why is Monty above D'Antoni, Malone, Budenholzer, Snyder, and Rivers?

I love Kelly.

But I think we need to see a few new things in his game, if you don’t want him to go the same way Warren did.

The same way as Warren? You mean traded for nothing with an asset, making the playoffs, while the Suns finish below .500?

Ok, because that has anything to do with the post.

Because I'll always be a bit of a Suns homer who wants to overstate minor successes.

Plus, of all the guys I listed under Monty, there isn't a single one that I'd hands down take as HC of the Suns over Monty right now.

It does have something to do with the post, in that you constantly talk about how you wish we would ship out Oubre, often for paltry returns, on the argument that it would be addition by subtraction.

Oubre is basically the opposite to addition by substraction. I can see how some of the things he does can rub you the wrong way, but the intensity and, yes, talent, are of great help for this team.

If you can find me a trade for a star involving Oubre+, I am all ears, but If we trade him for a light return hoping that we can do better with the cap space, chances are we'll regret it.

[O_Gardino]

The main thing I want Oubre to improve in is Games Played.

[INFORMER]

Yeah, he has been unavailable the last 10+ games of both seasons he has been here.

Ben Simmons?

[specialsauce]

The point of the post was that Warren was shipped because he didn’t fit the 0.5 offense. It had nothing to do with what he was traded for.

Outstanding talent, even with the obvious flaw. The shot is absurd, but imagine him playing at PF or even C. Driving and kicking to Booker or the snipers.

I'd spend up to Oubre, 2020 #10, swap+protected+unprotected from 2021 to 2024. Yeah, that's right. 4 1stR and Oubre.

But we get to to add to Booker-Ayton while not giving up Cam or Bridges when adding a non shooter. That's worth a premium in draft stock. They can have Jerome, of course. And a Saric sign and trade, if they want/need it.

My guess is that 76rs could use a third team coming in and taking part of that draft stock to send them win now talent and, if possible, cap relief from one of Horford-Harris. If I were them, I'd consider trading for Chris Paul (one of their albatross and one pretty 1stR).

There are murmurs about KAT...

There are murmurs about KAT...

Can't have Book and KAT on the same team now that KAT is smashing Book's ex. Girls ruin everything

Also why does if feel like the same girls get passed around the league so much? These guys could pick from a sea of women but they just pass around the same four.

Or maybe it's the women passing around the players. Ever think about it that way?

Where..?

[carey]

Doc Rivers out. Wonder what will happen there? https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/299 ... ources-say
