Could Kawhi become available? Either through trade or as a free agent in 2019. He'd be the dream come true next to Booker.
I think he'd be a dream come true next to anyone.

You can't blame him for not beating the Flash.

Oh, shit, guys. Kidd was fired by the Bucks. Someone tell Carey.

But seriously, are we going to see a motivated Bucks team that plays over its head, or a lost team looking for motivation and identity?

Either way, I think someone gets blown out tonight.

Haha. I need to get the Week 15 thread up. My kids get home starting at 3 so I'm usually busy between 3 and 5.

I really don't think he's a bad coach. I think that team has 3.5 good players. Jabari Parker is due back in a couple of weeks. That will give them 4.5 good players.

This GM has Henson, Snell, Teletovic, and Dellavedova making a combined 40 million, and he fires a coach who has them fighting for a playoff spot?

This smells like GM job desperation or Kidd butting heads with Giannis.

Bucks fans haaaaate him. He's made some bizarre decisions this year (like fouling while up 4).

If there is even the most remote possibility that Kawhi is available, you throw every asset on the table not-named-Booker in an offer for him.

There's no way, right? Also, never ever trade with the Spurs.

Well there's an article on the ringer talking about how Kawhi doesn't have the best relationship with the Spurs organization right now.

Why never trade with the Spurs?

They've got a top 5 mvp candidate, Middleton is really good. Bledsoe is great as a 3rd option. That team should be a top 4 team in the East. I haven't watched them much but there is a lot of talk by smarter people than me about how bad of a coach Kidd is. No surprise they cut ties with him.
