And the league thinks he is the best coach today…. Lololol. Fake title!

There is no outright best coach. But Spo no doubt is in the top tier of coaches along side Tyronn Lue and Steve Kerr. No one was saying Kerr was an ass coach the season they were in the lottery. They just had a bad roster and injuries that year.
This roster has a clear hole at the 4. Yurt is hurt and Jovic isn't ready to be a starter. This is more on the FO than anything. They spent summer chasing KD and didn't replace PJ.
I'm sure they know that. But the conundrum is do they go for a trade now and waste a 1st round pick or wait till the trade deadline when there will be better players and more value for our picks. We have limited picks and assets so we just can't do any trade.
But the hole at the 4 was obvious after PJ left for Sixers, they should have addressed it.
But its 2 games, they will still make the playoffs probably as 5th or 6th. But its matter of if they can survive till the deadline to make a move. If it continues to get worse, I can see them bite the bullet and trade a 1st rounder for a Crowder. I think best move is to wait but results may force them to make a trade asap

Spo could make it easier on himself if he wasn't making these stupid lineup decisions.

The other options from Caleb are Highsmith, Jovic and Yurt. Yurt is hurt. Highsmith is not good. I think he should give Jovic a shot from the bench, but Jovic for sure will get torched defensively. The main issue is not replacing PJ with someone who can actually play the 4 position. There isn't an adequate answer for this issue from the roster unless Jovic can learn NBA defense in a matter of weeks

Oh wait he played 35 tonight, this team is literally just that terrible when he isn’t on the floor for a split second wow!

Worst team in NBA bad without Bam. It’s pathetic he has nobody to help take pressure off him in front court and zero depth

When we unload all of our assets for Dame and Grant at the deadline to fix this poverty team we have surrounding our elite young talent >>>>>

[fishfuego.]

We should sell high on Bam, get Durant in here.

Ha sign me up lol

Nobody wants to say the elephant in the room about the lack of size issue

There's plenty of size sitting on the bench.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Y’all really took that fluke ass shooting night in game 1 for the gospel

That’s not the answer and not even an option cause of Ben Simmons contract.

They’re trash borderline nba players, there’s a reason theyre on the bench. Jovic is the only promising one

Talented players don't need preparation. Put him in get out of his damn way. Only a blind idiot would do it differently.

Fire sale! Let's go get Scoot AND Victor!

Let’s trade our 25 year old, best defender in the world, all nba level player for a 34 year old with a couple years left and a horrible injury history

That solves our defensive point guard issues. Send Lowry out too and all of our picks just get it done.
Simmons can do everything Bam does.

I agree here. Play Jovic and let his natural talent take over. You can’t tell me right now that Highsmith is a better player then Jovic. No way no how

[ShulaDon92]

Let's do it. Tank all the way. Fake injuries. Trade Jimmy and Bam

Yes please. Get Bam a true running mate in the front court and we will dominate.

Bam with Durant would be crazy. No need to bash Bam. Get the man some real help. His job is so much harder having to play with so many small ball players at the 4.

As unowen stated earlier, we got Butler and haven't made a major move since. He's made us a lot better but his talent is wasted by poor roster construction and the small ball nonsense.

Might as well set him free.
