I think Iggy deserves very high consideration, especially after Durant went down. But traditionally the award will go to Eric Gordan because POINTS (And lou williams kinda cratered after going to Houstin).

You should be giving Popovich Coach of the Year every year until you don't think he's the best coach in the league.

To be fair to Pop, this is his first time to have two 60 win seasons in a row. This year is just stacked with good candidates for many of the awards. (because the NBA is deeper now than in previous eras despite what random old people will tell you.) Basically Pop's job this year showed us Duncan is a system player and once that old center retired, the Spurs kept rolling like they lost nothing. that last part was a jokeSpring Break My Heart posted:You should be giving Popovich Coach of the Year every year until you don't think he's the best coach in the league. He doesn't do the best job coaching every year though. That's like giving LeBron the MVP every year even when other people have a better regular season than him. Shear Modulus posted:well we had people saying lebron should have won mvp for the past 15 years I couldn't get my edit in fast enough. Beat me to it. I would say more like every year from 08 onward but it doesn't matter anyway. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Apr 13, 2017 |

In hindsight I'm glad Washington drafted Vesely because I feel like Toronto might have drafted him if they hadn't. Obviously, I'm not thrilled they passed on Kawhi Leonard, but he probably doesn't develop into the monster he is if Toronto drafts him, and it's not like Valanciunas sucks, he's pretty decent. Also, regarding Biz: Nice one, Ujiri. Man, I hope Masai has a couple more good trades left in him, he's really done a fabulous job running this team, Cabcolo was his only real mistake. And even then, there's only a few people drafted after him that have done much in the NBA. El Gallinero Gros fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Apr 13, 2017 |

What would the league do if next season the Mavs don't pick up Dirk's player option, he comes back at minimum, then the next year he retires, and Cuban gives him something like $20 million a year for a random job with the team?

the best move if you want to circumvent the cap for a soon-to-retire player would probably be to give them a sweetheart deal on an ownership stake after they retire

The fact that Westbrooks teammates were worse shooters matters. Results matter. Yes Westbrook can't help this but it effects his results and play so it has to be taken into consideration. At least Lowe is being upfront about it.

I want to talk a bit about Brandon Ingram, and how much better he was after the ASB. I know his season stats aren't great, but there definitely looks like a night and day different after the ASB Before the ASB, he averaged 8 points per game on 36% shooting, in 28 minutes After the ASB, he averaged 13ppg on 47.5% shooting, in 32 minutes I know his season stats on the whole aren't great, but he really started to learn how to use his length when driving and finishing around the rim in the last few months, and has been starting to show off a nasty euro-step. His 3pt shooting was a mess all season, but hopefully it can be improved since his jumper form isn't bad.

Meh. If you can't make the playoffs in the east you don't deserve to be the COY imo. I'm mostly being flip, as Spo did an insanely good job. But man you guys are talking about giving a .500 coach in the east a COY award Like even those years we were talking up giving Thibs CoY for coaching those garbage rear end Roseless teams he was making the playoffs at a decent seeding.
