You can tell that just by how cool and chill he is with the guys, he's like your one friend who has the cool dad that will let the you drink beers and smoke weed in the basement.

Wait, people are missing Sam Mitchell of all guys as a coach suddenly? He's always seemed like one of those ultra old school guys who the game has passed by at this point.

He was a terrible head coach but he was a great assistant, especially with regards to developing younger players.

Sam Mitchell should not be allowed within 50 yards of NBA talent.

Before my car's satellite radio stopped working, he was the best guy on NBA radio, you could get the sense he had an intuitive understanding of people and in turn what players needed to develop. Putting a super gazelle with no ball skills, Zach Lavine, at point guard humbled him, and resulted in massive improvement in his game. He put Karl Towns in places where he had clear advantages over defenders and seemed to really build his confidence. Obviously he didn't coach optimally for winning, but he did a very good job bringing out the potential of their young players. Thibs needs to adjust his technique, because he doesn't have Kevin Garnett or Joachim Noah to be the yelling angry man on the floor

What would be the best landing spot for Bogut in the inevitable trade? He can still play good defense but has been off at everything on the offensive end, occasionally including attempting to get to that side of the court.

Tae posted:The last 2 years was nothing but "Cleveland made a mistake trading wiggins for love" until this summer I dunno if that was really true here I think it was pretty split other than I guess maybe in the Finals when Love was really bad. Anyway people who said it was a bad trade are dumb it was a good trade that made perfect sense for both teams

I would trade Wiggins for 6 years of prime Kevin Love at his price, even if you told me Wiggins eventually becomes a good 3-point shooter.

Good job, Dave Joerger. I'm glad he spoke out. Now we get to watch the poor "diminutive reporters" whip themselves into a feeding frenzy. I hope they play the "freedom of speech" card to justify writing lovely bullshit columns.

Has this been posted? Pistons had a players-only meeting, and I guess the point was to call out Reggie Jackson?quote:“I did a lot of the talking, I said at the end of the meeting that we have to make a decision,” Morris said. “Everybody go home tonight and decide on what you want to do. Do you want to be a winning team or do you want to continue to get embarrassed? Are you going to play for the next man beside you or are you going to play for yourself?” http://pistonpowered.com/2016/12/18/detroit-pistons-reach-boiling-point/

This seems oddly decontextualized for you. Wiggins was never going to be a good enough player to be a major contributor on a contender before Lebron got old and died. Hell the odds any given number one overall pick ever becomes as good as Kevin Love are maybe 50/50 and I'm not even inclined to be generous to Love. Off the top of my head, in the last ten years not counting this year, at least Bargnani, Rose, Oden, and Bennett were appreciably worse, Wall and Irving aren't definitively better, and I think Wiggins probably never will be. Griffin, Davis, and probably Towns are the only guys I wouldn't take Love over on most teams right now or at the start of their careers, given the benefit of hindsight.

That may be true. I mean, what really matters is that lebron wanted the trade to happen and it did, so it's a good trade if it keeps him happy. I was not aware of the Cavs willingness to pay so much lux tax, which also makes the trade look better from a 2014 perspective. I still think that Wiggins would he a much more productive player playing off the ball, but even if he wasn't you could still trade him for a shooting four like Ibaka or something. I still think trading a #1 pick for anyone that doesn't have James in his name is probably a bad thing, but I could be wrong.

I still think trading a #1 pick for anyone that doesn't have James in his name is probably a bad thing, but I could be wrong. I think if your team is bad, then totally. If your team is somehow good or even decent and has a #1 pick like the cavs did, a sure thing lesser all star is probably going to move the needle more than, say, 2011 John Wall or even 2015 Karl Towns. A bird in the hand and all that, plus the birds in the bush are equally likely to be a tape recorder playing bird sounds with a picture of Andrea Bargani face planting taped to the front and a bomb taped to the back. Say you're the Clippers right now and have the first overall. By the time Josh Jackson is an all star, if he ever is, CP3 will be 35 or older with a ton of miles, and Griffin and Jordan will be in their 30s and at the tail end of their primes at best. But if that pick could bring you Gordon Hayward or Paul Millsap or even Carmelo, even though they'll be cooked when Jackson is a perennial all NBA guy in ten years, you've probably improved your chances at a title. You may never have the chance to put two or three other stars on a team with your number one pick even if he is one. The Cavs KNEW they could put a top 20ish guy at the time next to James. The luxury tax is a black box for me though, no way for me to know what any given owner will pay for a contender, or what the threshold of "likely to win a title" is where they say gently caress the money.

Any time you can trade for a hall of famer in his prime you should do it. The love trade was a no brainer. Especially since he fits well with lebron.
