Around the NBA - 2024-25 Season Continued

[HopelessKnick]

These Clippers are my favorite to upset OKC eventually. They are better than advertised. Meanwhile, Paul George is left with nothing but his money to count.

I wish there was some way to lure Tyronn Lue to the Knicks...I always love the way he sets up his teams...if Kawhi and George were a little less injury prone he would have won a ring there for sure...

I use to not be able to stand Lue because of LeBron. I thought he was just riding his coat tails. I think like 3 or 4 years ago I changed my tune. He's a top 5 coach in my eyes.

Yeah agreed---love how he always establishes deeper rotations and tough minded teams. He really deserved a title with the Clippers but health prevented it.

welp coach bud's on the table. that's someone i'd deeply consider

For years I said I would’ve fired Thibs to take Bud. But I don’t think I would do it anymore. There’s no way you should miss the playoffs with Booker and KD. Thibs has done more with less talent

that organization is currently a mess though so i'm not really inclined to blame the disaster over there on KD, booker, or the coach specifically

Idk cause apparently Bud also didn’t get along well with KD and Booker too

Phoenix should start from scratch. KD is old and won’t get any better. Beal is done in the league. Booker looks mediocre at best. Change your entire front office, get a young coach who can develop with a young squad. Trade Booker and KD for youth and picks. Send Beal home until his contract expires or waive him.

This is the third coach they are firing since they traded for KD. Even if KD is not a problem, he is not a solution to anything either

Welll if we suck in the playoffs I’ll take the risk on KD

That roster isn't that talented, they have too many holes, and Booker took a massive step back on defense this season. KD is still an impact player, but he's old so some nightas the icy hot is working and other nights it's not. The Booker stats without KD are the most troubling of all, because he's turned into a sieve on defense, he had 121.2 DRTG when KD was off the floor.

Easy to miss the playoffs when your best player is 37.

What if the Suns hire Mike Malone and fire him after one year too. That would be 3 coaches with championships in the last 5 years, lol

Suns issues are numerous. Bud wasn't one of them.

- Ishbia is a moron.
- 3 coaches in 3 years.
- Let Monty go because they wanted their own guy.
- Traded Ayton away when his main issue was Monty.
- Ishbia is a moron.
- Let Isiah in as a consultant or whatever unofficial title he had.
- Booker is not a PG.
- Booker is not a leader.
- Traded the leader -- CP3 -- for Beal in this never ending quest for a Big 3.
- Ishbia is a moron.
- Poor roster construction.
- Washington should be fined for giving Beal that contract with a no trade clause.
- Phoenix playing games with Beal's contract to force him to waive the no trade clause in that failed Jimmy trade. I can imagine that locker room is toxic as hell.

Another clueless entitled douche billionaire thinking he can operate a sports franchise. Sucks for the fans.

I still don’t think he’s all that great… but you’re right about him and LeBron.

Bud has always been quite similar to Thibs. But I actually trust Thibs to galvanize a group more than Bud.

Bud almost cost the Bucks the championship with his non-stop drop coverage against the Nets in the ECSF four years ago. That series shouldn't have been this close considering the gap in talent with all of Brooklyn's injuries.

Coach Bud got fired. So now the list of coaches fired because of Kevin Durant:

Kenny Atkinson
Steve Nash
Monty Williams
Frank Vogel
Coach Bud

Again, the only way I support bringing KD to the Knicks is if Tom isn't fired this summer

[Gravy]

Its like the Suns refuse to admit they dont have a good roster anymore, but keep thinking a new coach will fix everything

The fact that Milwaukee got taken to 7 games by Kevin Durant and a James Harden with one leg is an indictment to be honest

[GettinitDone]

I'd prefer Bud over Malone... Malone is Thibs 2.0

I've spent most of my adult life hating on Chris Paul, and he has choked on several occasions in the playoffs, which is hard to feel sorry for considering how much of a deek he is on the court.

But I now see his career in a different light, and it's now pretty clear to me he was the driving force behind Phoenix's run to the Finals.

He was past his prime but still a greater player than Booker, which partly explains why Phoenix have been so mediocre since he left.

Booker's a greater scorer and a ceiling raiser but he's not this massive difference-maker he's made out to be. He doesn't make a profound impact on the game. Chris Paul did.

Still they were 33-29 with Durant on the court. 3-17 without him. That roster without Durant was just terrible.
