There's a strong correlation. Stronger with HCA.

Essentially they only got 1 high draft picked and it flopped. That fluke 41 win year hurt as well, could've used one more top 5 pick and hopefully that one would've panned out. The next draft was KAT, Zinger, Russel, okafor. But, even just 4 picks in front of us was Devin Booker.
Thon was a top 10 pick (and also flopped). We've had plenty of chances to draft good players, including some cases like John Collins where he just fell in our lap and we just refused to accept the gift. The overall drafting of this franchise since we got Giannis is laughably bad.

Anyway I could not predict that a human being can't gain weight while eating 7 meals a day .... I didn't predict he probably **** "flushes his toilet" 20 times per day and can't gain a single pound ..

The weight was definitely an issue but I think the much larger issue was that he sucked at basketball.

Can we narrow it down? How strong is the correlation for Bud as a coach? He’s had the best record in the East three times, best in the NBA twice. He has made “?” NBA finals?

Still pretty strong! 2 EC Finals in those 3 years. Compare to performance of other seeds.
2 appearances by 1 seed.
2 by a 2 seed.
1 by a 3 seed.
1 by a 5 seed.
None for 4 or 6-8.
Very few observations but it's certainly not contrary evidence.
Amick: “You’ve got the Buddy Hield situation. He does not see himself as a sixth man. He’s not happy as a sixth man. That problem is not going away, and you gave him starter money. Do you test the market on Buddy? Can you get anything back?”
“Bogdan Bogdanovic is a restricted free agent, and I guarantee you that Bogdan is looking at this situation now and just simply deciding, ‘Am I really buying into this?’ You can’t really blame him if he’s somewhat skeptical just because of all of the turmoil and the change.”
Ron Swanson wrote:I have no idea how anyone can hold up that 2015 Hawks team as any sort of slight on Bud's resume. That roster had zero business winning anything more than 45-games, much less 60 and a round away from the NBA Finals.

Sam Amick implies he'd be pretty cheap if the Kings decide to bail on him.
Alternatively if Bogdan does want out maybe the Bucks can pull a reverse-Brogdon and get the Kings on board a magnanimous sign and trade to a preferable destination.Amick: “You’ve got the Buddy Hield situation.

He won 2 total games in those two series combined and lost 4 straight in both.
