    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    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.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    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.

    NBA & Celtic 2024 Trade Deadline thread

    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.

    NBA & Celtic 2024 Trade Deadline thread

    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.

    NBA & Celtic 2024 Trade Deadline thread

    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.

    NBA & Celtic 2024 Trade Deadline thread

    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.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    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.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    This seems like an absolute heist by the Knicks, especially in light of what Toronto had supposedly wanted for Anonuby in the past. He’s a much cleaner fit next to Brunson than Barrett.

    2023-2024 General NBA Season Thread

    I know the finances make it almost impossible but I can’t believe Monty Williams is keeping his job through this. It is the most disgraceful stretch of basketball in recent memory. He should be fired or sent home on a sabbatical or reassigned to the front office, whatever to get him away from...

    If they don’t win one of the next two against Brooklyn they might not get another win until mid-January. The schedule turns brutal in January.

    It wasn’t about Bullock specifically but that Boston could have had a usable salary and extra pick to use for trades at the deadline.

    Just What is Apex Mountain: Rewatchables discussion thread

    In my mind I remembered that movie being something of a flop that was driven only by the tabloid controversies surrounding it. Had no idea it made close to $500 million.

    Top NBA GMs in 2023

    I just don’t get the Presti love. I fully admit that he “wins” the vast majority of his trades in terms of perceived value, and he has drafted very well, but outside of the one Finals appearance with three generational talents, his actual teams haven’t really been that great. In 17 years as an...

    Top NBA GMs in 2023

    Nothing against KP but he’s never been considered to be on Gobert’s level and so while I understand that the relative cost was far, far less, it’s a big difference between taking a flyer on a potential stud who will be your fifth best player versus a guy who is supposed to transform your entire...

    Top NBA GMs in 2023

    A top 10 list that doesn’t include Morey, Connelly or Ainge doesn’t seem right. To me that’s overrating the impact of their less favorably reviewed deals and not properly appreciating the things they consistently do well.

    I just couldn’t understand how restricting time outs would change home court advantage or influence how teams are built.
