When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

The Chris Paul only moves them below the second apron, they're still limited to the TPMLE. This is a huge paycut. But hey it would be a big help to Phoenix.

Didn't Jim Harden already leave a. KD team in midseason after losing interest? What is the deal with them. Are they on again off again like a classic 90s sitcom couple?

Apparently since that post I've learned (or remembered since I guess I talked about it and maybe even posted about it after the Suns were eliminated but then forgot) if they stretch Chris Paul they can get the full MLE so it could only be a 20 million paycut instead of a 27 million paycut.

But yeah it's the weirdest. Apparently they're still friends allegedly Durant didn't want Harden to go.

Yeah, I thought the beef was always because Harden perceived Kyrie as willing to be a part-time player.

Maybe there's a secret nba rule about guys needing to stop by in philadelphia and leave after the secret backdoor payments no longer entice them

No one hired Bud either despite the fact that two of Milwaukee’s losses Giannis was hurt, and the other two were basically one possession games where Jimmy went insane and scored like 45 points all in the 4th quarter. Not. His. Fault

What did Bud do to get them there? It's also not his benefit.

Doc and Bud both are regular season coaches in an era that cares even less about the regular season

All days are nights to see till I see thee; and nights bright days when dreams do show me thee.
I think Bud (and to a lesser extent Doc, but he's in that same category) are going to be best served by joining up with the right team and not rush signing on whichever team is kinda reeling right now. I think if that takes a full year that's fine. Bud has a great track record but I think he's going to want the right fit just like a team won't want to hire him just to make sure they get the chair filled.
