Official Speculation Thread (Pt. XXV: Offseason Edition)

I like Doc, but why did he have Bass guarding LeBron?? Biggest mismatch ever.

Lebron was killing Pierce in game 6, and when he switched Bass over, Lebron missed couple of shots. Bass on Lebron is OK, since you can't beat him with speed, try to beat him with strength and length. Bass on Lebron is still better with JRich and Hedo on Lebron.

Rondo vs Lebron was the most effective thing because it stopped Lebron from driving and made it more tempting for him to shoot. ...which he sucks at normally.

He drank a bit too much of the kool aid this board was serving out during the 2 years Bass was here.

that sounds like the bitter aftertaste of some Ryan-Anderson-failing-to-show-up-for-the-playoffs flavour kool aid. the best thing to get rid of that taste is drinking some BBD kool aid.

I'm predicting a hiring by Wednesday or Thursday. Let's hope it's the right hire.

+1

Bower by tomorrow, Shaw by Friday.

I really hope you're wrong.

That's what I've been saying!

I doubt Doc leaves Boston. He's the highest paid coach in the league with 4 years left on his deal on the all-time winningest franchise in the NBA. Unless he wants to be closer to home, I don't see him coming here. I do like us trying though.

i agree with this...some people are really trying to ride that horse.....but it's dead

Just give me Lindsey/Weaver, Shaw/Malone, and a resigned Dwight and I'm happy. I would be very confident that Lindsey or Weaver could handle the rest.

If the Devos's are meeting the final candidates Monday-Wednesday, then I assume we find out soon. Probably Friday, next Monday at the latest, 10 days before the draft.

How do you know he's going to meet them this week? Did I miss a report or tweet?

I'm guessing Friday imo.

It's just an assumption I've read by Robbins and Kyler. And if they've got the finalists set on, like it's been said, I don't see the reason to stall the process. I assume they're covering it this week if they want to make a decision 7-10 days before the draft.

Ah, okay. I hope we do get our guy by Friday. This has been WAY too long. . . It's gotten kind of boring.

I know this is about off-season basketball but because I saw the thread is at a screeching halt I figured I would throw in a little football news.

ESPN NFL - WR Chad Ochocinco says he has signed with Dolphins, 4 days after being released by Patriots

At least to give us something to talk about.

Technically, I don't think this is against the rules. It's called the "Official Speculation Thread". I don't see anything basketball specific around. Plus, it's their offseason too.

I found this article very informative. I know it has nothing to do with the Magic but it is a slow day.
