I gave you like 5 names already today man.

Nola is kind of a dream scenario for a lot of coaches, so you will have plenty of options.

Preferably, we would get a coach who plays more from the half court. Slows down the game and works on getting into the interior. Basically the opposite of our current system.

That trade was not about this season. This season has been over for a while.

maybe. ignoring the organizational issues for a second, there are some legit on court, structural questions

decent conversation overall and worth listening to. one thing at the end is really worth thinking about- they were talking about ceiling for this roster assuming they hit on their moves this summer (i.e. Holiday stays, they find some more pieces that fit, etc.)

both guys said low 50 win team. certainly nothing to sneeze at. at all. but both mentioned the inherent problems of playing two bigs like Davis/Cousins together in the modern game.

it's a good problem to have, no doubt. but it's a real issue that needs more thought than "get on the block and feed the big dogs"

I thought this team would contend for the eighth seed; however, I never could imagine our 3 pt shooting wa going to be this bad with wide open looks.

I think it is stupid to say that the NBA trends now won't allow the Pels to succeed with Davis and Cousins. Since they are both athletic all around players I don't think a small team is going to run them off the court. We just need dependable role players to play defensive and hit WIDE OPEN 3 pt shots. I think the offensive system needs to attempt to keep Davis and Cousins crom hanging around the 3 pt line also.

As much as I hate to say it Al and Dell will probably get about 20-30 games next year to prove they can build around these two guys. They can point to that missed open shots stat all fricking day and make a decent case to stay.

If he does stay I pray we can pull off getting Evan Fournier and signing Reddick.

We'd be fricking set. Even Al wins with that team.

After 6 games? Lololol. I'm sure they don't even believe that garbage. I refuse to give them clicks for that awful bait.

Glad i checked.

I legitimately have zero recollection of there even being a Lakers game. How the hell...


My memory is shot. Granted, I didn't watch any of it, or that would have just made it that much worse.

this is dumb and anyone who buys into this is dumb



Gentry is an F. there's your F. Get a real coach and then grade the trade. Is it still a F?
