Betcha Ime is kicking himself in the rear for not waiting for that Bucks job to open up!

I think Bud is a good coach overall. He can definitely elevate a team to being in contention talks - he just struggles to get them to be named champions.

I wonder where he ends up? Who’s gonna take over the Bucks? Nurse?

Poole is so bad

Bud is the type of coach I would love Mosley to recruit as the lead assistant.

He's a bench player... and not one I would want on the Magic

That would be tremendous. I think Mosley is a keeper but he could use a sage assistant that can collect a head coach salary while getting reps with our up and coming squad.

Yup, just like what Kerr did with the Warriors. They've had a ton of head coach-caliber assistants.

Moody should take all of Poole's minutes

I've tried to be polite all year when people here have suggested trading for him... it has been... tough :lol:

Moody can play PO minutes but Kuminga can't??? Is he up for trade esp with Wiggins there?

Also... Austin Reaves... was he the primary Klay defender?

I've spent last summer telling people Herro is better and i would trust him with big money more.
Problem with Poole is his mentality of wannabe big moments player but he is too predictable to play that role

Kuminga just isn’t a high IQ player…. Yet. He has shown some flashes but it looks like Kerr just doesn’t trust him in the playoffs yet. He’s just a few months older than Paolo so he still has plenty of time to develop but I would also trust Moody more than Kuminga from what we’ve seen.

As for Reaves, a) he’s a role player and more importantly b) Klay is an all time great shooter that gets the luxury of illegal screens being set for him on nearly every play. I’m always disgusted by what the refs let GSW get away with on offense. They’re good enough without having to call the game differently for them. Paolo would never get away with half the stuff Green gets away with to free up shooters.

Kuminga is very bad. Bamba level basketball awarness.

Apparently 27pt blowouts aren't enough for Bamba to get playing time, has to be 40pt blowouts lol.

He isn't even on bench, allegedly injury, in reality they are preparing him to be great addition for their South Bey Lakers bench. Or summer league starter?

Hopefully he has good connections in Europe, will need to find place to live near arena there soon :noway:
