    Buddies great at managing minutes and installing his system to full effect, but absolutely terrible at in game or series adjustments. We have tons of examples from his stops in Atlanta and Milwaukee. I expect 50 wins next year and a second round exit.

    You think a Wolves team, without Ant, and led by Gobert and Towns would make the playoffs in the West??

    They made the Western Conference Finals last year and lost to the eventual champion, and then got matched up against the same team in the first round this year. I think they got lucky on the draw last year and unlucky this year, and are the same top 5-10 team in the league either way.

    Just my opinion but I think Lue is a top five coach when it comes to schemes and managing personalities. That Clippers situation could have been a mess in the wrong hands.

    It’s not an lol, just a bit premature imo to bury Doc in favor of Joe and I’m not even a huge Doc fan. Mazzulla really struggled in year one and lost to to an inferior team in the playoffs. Doc has had his struggles too but he’s been Coach of the Year, won a title, and generally been good...

    I think it’s kind of wild that the consensus here seems to be Mazzulla is a better coach than Doc.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    I love that pettiness from Bill. Awesome. I also chuckled this week when he said after the Super Bowl that there was no definition for a dynasty but then rattled off what qualifies as if he’s the arbiter and that Chiefs weren’t one, but they were setting up to be a “mini-dynasty”, whatever that...

    The story indicated that it was Draymond who was heavily involved in the recruitment.

    That Lebron-Warriors story is fascinating. What would they have even offered? Guessing it would have been Kuminga and Klay plus picks, but that doesn’t do much for LA.

    The worst part is that the following year, after significant evidence had been gathered that he wasn’t any good, KOC doubled down by saying Cade was the perfect complement to Hayes and that it would give them one of the best young backcourts in the league.

    Not even the fake second round pick that most lottery picks generate when the first team gives up on them. Poor KOC, he’ll never live this one down.

    We have a fairly large sample size of moves from Ujiri to suggest that he doesn’t really care about asset accumulation or the life cycle of a team and just wants to find players that fit together.

    There have been rumors for months that Toronto loves Olynyk and wanted to acquire him. I think they plan on re-signing him this summer.

    And who is signing with the Pistons? They are clearing cap room to overpay more bad players.

    The Blazers traded Gary Payton II last deadline for five 2nd round picks, but the far superior Brogdon is only worth two? Even totally cooked Jae Crowder snagged four 2nd rounders. I’d be very surprised if they didn’t get a late first for him.
