The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

The bigger story here is Nurse declining to coach Giannis & choosing Embiid/Booker instead.

Extremely surprising

Could also have knowledge about Giannis dipping

 

[noblekane]

what about doc rivers?

he would be great for the suns

 

[pmatic]

Interesting the Bucks invite Giannis and Middleton to their dinners with the prospective coaches. No Jrue or Lopez though.

Embiid can opt out 1 year after Giannis. Book is completely locked in through 2028 tho

But that is a valid point.

Stein was saying that Giannis was the one pushing for Griffin. It's possible Nurse caught wind of that.

 

[lawdog1]

He is alive and well? I am pretty sure Frank Lawrence said him, Kawhi and PG were good at the end of season. Someone from Clipset in here could confirm, though

Neither Ty nor anyone with Clippers management has said anything to indicate he's going anywhere or wants to. But his name still is coming up from some people as a target for the Suns

Ty in a shocking move to PHX then Doc comes back home to Clipset to finish what he started. Doubt the writers could have gotten that in the script before the strike, though

This is sad how folks cant wait to tear down these guys. If he wasnt charged what was the point of these posts

"I met 3 girls under the age of 21..."

I was calling for a timeout watching this **** but Joseph went on to show me how terrible of a person I am

Maybe Nurse feels like Bud maxed out what that team could do. To be honest outside of a few adjustments here or there the Bucks got hit with the injury bug at the wrong time. Middle Town America, Giannis, etc.

I think the bucks still have another level to reach where they can be consistently blowing teams out. But like u said the injuries sure didnt help this last season.

I agree. He shouldn’t be mentioned with Jason Kidd because Jason is a known abuser and scumbag.

Team is really old outside of Giannis and expensive. No players besides Beauchamp got upside, everybody else is who they are or will be on downside. Limited picks. The second apron gonna put a hurting on them.

Weren’t there also questions about how willing new ownership would be to spend?

I think that's why the old co-owner just sold his share and left.

These billionaires can afford it, but it'll be difficult to build out the roster in the years to come.

Isn’t their new owner the Browns owner? If so, he won’t spend unless it’s on perverts

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

ok

Oh 100%, less than ideal situation but I just don’t find Phoenix & Philly to be compelling enough to withdraw my name from Milwaukee.

Phoenix has a higher payroll & Ayton is their other young piece but he’s several years away from being a championship big, if ever.

Philly has to figure out what to do with Harden & Tobias. Also Embiid is almost always hurt during the playoffs.

Although I think these couple wins probably saved Mazz job, I wonder if Nurse could be waiting to see if the Boston job would in-fact open up.

Definitely leaps and bounds better than Phoenix and Philly.
