Keep Griffin away from the bucks. All he would do is trade Giannis for a bunch of mid-ass picks and talk about how great he is.

I'm old enough to remember when everyone was calling Griffin a genius for his "treasure trove of picks" that he accumulated only for him to then promptly flush them all down the toilet. Just another overrated GM whose best and only trait was "asset collection".

Cool, now the new GM can start a complete rebuild. If the Bucks can get some picks for Dame, send them to New Orleans for Trey Muphy.

Trey would be a great target, but NOP would be stupid to get rid of him right now.

He's drafted well.

Dont think it is likely, but would be fun to see Ja go nuts on GSW leaving the Warriors in a do or die game against the Mavs(?). The amount of crap Draymond will be allowed to get away with in that game would just be insane.

Full rebuild possibly on tap. Keeping good players denies tanking. It would be like last offseasons Avdija trade.

When the Suns are continuously firing good successful NBA coaches maybe it's time to realize the coach isn't the problem

Trying to compete with the Bucks for most coaches on payroll.

He's done pretty well outside the lottery (Missi, Murphy, Herb) but either whiffed on his top picks (Hayes, Hawkins) or traded away his other hits too early (Daniels, NAW). Very Hammond esque.

Crazy stat but would be more curious of:
1. % of top 5 players per team are eligible
2. how many just missed but probably would've played an extra game or two if in award contention.

I like the requirement overall but should be dropped to 60 or a total minutes threshold. Or have a tired requirement. like Giannis at 50 games probably put up enough stats/impact to still be third team.

Damn, I feel bad for Bud. I don't think he'd be my first choice for next season, but I'd rather have him than Doc.

I feel so bad for Bud. He has his warts as a coach but he deserves better than this.

Imagine someone going into this season said "Malone, Jenkins and bud will be fired by April 15 but Billups will get an extension"

Post #498 » by **MickeyDavis** » Mon Apr 14, 2025 4:15 pm

I feel bad for Bud too but he knew what he was getting into. They fired Vogel after one season at 49-33.

2nd worst odds of actual playoff teams. Also behind a play-in team.

Ouch.
