Doc Rivers is a ______

You know when the Pelicans made the playoffs 2 years ago their second best player was Tyreke Evans. Tyreke is still good and Buddy is a possible rookie of the year. The Pelicans traded all their talent for a rental of Cousins.

You'd be surprised how good those team morale guys can be. We had this chubby Jewish dude on our lacrosse team back in HS, like a 3rd-string defender or something, he never played but he was funny as fuck and sometimes sold our defensemen weed before games. Kept everyone relaxed. Don't have the stats or anything but I swear we played worse when he wasn't there.

>>74360951
The only difference was when he wasn't there you guys weren't high off your asses and could actually tell that you were sucking.

Wow I missed a 50 point quarter?
That's absolutely disgusting.
Clippers got BTFO.
Where the fuck is that clipper trip?

>>74360964
But we were winning while we were high off our asses. Maybe we were just playing shit teams, but still.

>>74362679
>Dolan

>>74362640
melo has been called out for not playing defense, being a horrible leader, selfish and a cancer his entire career. theres just no need to say it anymore everybody knows hes nothing but a good scorer. colin cowherd calls him out all the time

>>74362707
its not even about what he does on the court

its the fact that any other player in any other org would be shown right out the fucking door for making their FO, their owner and everything around them look like fucking clown,s and destroying their morale, and destroying their image, and sabotaging their progress toward a championship. whatever it means to be a leader, he is the polar opposite of that. he is the antithesis of leadership. he is the spoiled crybaby, the critic, the cynic, the sore loser, the front runner, the passive aggressive sniveling backstabber, and the biggest cancer of his generation. no team with melo as its centerpiece has ever can ever or will ever be able to compete for a title. he would literally need some kind of alpha babysitter with even more talent than him to slap him in the mouth every time the chips were down so he didnt start being a crybaby into the medias microphone and tomorrows headline.

How good is Damien Lillard in terms of a trade piece?

Is he a top player worth another all star type player or is he only worth draft picks?

>>74362740
Did you read what rondo said about how dysfunctional Sacramento was? Or about Lakers players completely shunning a rookie for posting bants on Twitter? The league has shit like that going on everywhere, and it's worse in some places
If Phil was smart, though, he'd embarrass the shit out of melo by trading him for provisional d league picks or something
Then again, he coached Rodman through his most fucked up era and managed to make him productive on the court, so maybe he has some master plan for melo

>>74362740
the criticism is fair, but they can't trade him w/o his approval: he's one of a few players with a no trade clause

assuming they could fire him outright, what does that mean?
they pay him tens of millions to walk away?
it's a total loss on their balance sheet

>>74362766
if he's under contract then he's worth a top flight star

>>74362766
It all boils down to what Portland wants to do.

If they want to go a full rebuild then he's worth high picks and expiring contracts.

If they want to end the backcourt duo then he's worth another All-Star player and more.

Player value differs from team to team and all those teams may or may not have the assets Portland wants.

Fire sales only occur when the organization is in complete shambles (the Kangs come into mind).

>>74360698
What the...

Jahlil Okafor will be the next Patrick Ewing, you just wait. I told you Ainge wasnt going to make a move and I was right about that. Jah will come to Boston and we'll begin a dynasty after trading our manlet for Lillard. This off season. Believe it!

>>74363028
He has a better FG% because all of his shots are on the inside as opposed to Murray and Hield who takes more shots outside.

>>74361569
Spurs are lowkey building their players. Kawhi honestly has one of the best stories in terms of pure determination. It took him years to get to MVP level as opposed to most top draft picks that are expected to be.

Wew lad. Pretty sure anybody could autopilot that stacked team to the finals. Do they even need to draw up plays? "Uhh, I don't know, in the last few minutes just pass it to Durant or Curry." This year is a joke.

>>74364151
You could say that about Phil too. "Just do the triangle and give jordan/shaq/kobe the ball in the end"

>>74364171
i agree

>>74364171

yup phil is overrated. Doesn't take away from the fact that he has 11 rings though, that has to be respected just for the fact that he managed to not fuck anything up

>>74364074

>>74364206
You really can't win without a stacked team, though. You need to be stacked to get even close, and after that point is where coaching really starts mattering. I think Jackson deserves the credit, if Doc Rivers was coaching those teams he'd have 3 or 4 rings instead of Jackson's 11.

Rick Carlilse is the most underrated coach in history. Sure he only won 1 championship, but he did it with one superstar. The mavs have been relavant for like 10 years in a row now with a garbage roster. Imagine if fill had to win with only scotty pippin. He would have 0 rings. Rick has at least 1

>>74364328
Yeah I love Carlilse, genius offensive schemes.

>>74364328
If you look back at his history with the Pistons and Pacers, they've all been playoff teams. Very good defensive teams too with Ben Wallace for 2 years and then Ron Artest with the Pacers.

>>74364328
Agreed. Probably the 2nd best coach in the league over the last ~10 years

>>74363920
>find a flaw
The ping pong balls could fuck over the Celtics and shit on any negotiating ground they have. It's only a 25% chance for them to land 1st overall and the other 75% are split between landing the 2nd, 3rd or 4th pick at the worst. This is the league who gave Cleveland multiple 1st overall picks and top 5 picks just because they lost Lebron.

Drafting Fultz, Ball, Smith could signal Thomas to fuck off. Thomas won't spend his final prime years taking a back seat on a guy who plays the same position as his. Conversely, the agents of those players can politely decline Boston not to draft them since they have a crowded backcourt.

>>74364328
Most of the Mavs problems in attracting players is down to no-one wanting to play for Carlisle. You can't just ignore that he's a major reason for them having a garbage roster.

this is how delusional celtics fans are

they think Fultz is going to be a 20/5/5 guy immediately out of college

they also think Ball won't be a bust

>>74364466
Has nothing to do with Carlisle. Cuban is a retard when it comes to the draft. No one wants to come to Dallas when Dirk is a dinosaur and the team showed no signs of promise. Donny Nelson wanted to draft Giannis but Cuban traded the pick away.

Now Dallas finally has a group of young players with a lottery pick coming up this year.

News flash, the mainstream sports media is unequivocally biased against the Rockets.

The Celtics really should have gutted their team and future by trading for a guy who will leave in 18 months.

Then their window would be right now, during the era of Cavs and Warriors dominance.

Good thinking.

>"It was a coward move." - DeMarcus Cousins tells Marc J. Spears he has no interest in talking to Kings brass about trading him.

>>74364516
If you think the only problem with the Mavs is that Cuban is retarded and Dirk is old then you're delusional. They struggled to attract free agents when they were actually good, and they wasted years keeping cap space open to attract big-name free agents that never came.

>>74364568
You're retarded if you think players don't want to play for Carlisle.

He's coached Ben Wallace, Reggie Miller, Jason Kidd, and all sorts of players to the playoffs. He turned Harrison Barnes from a spot up shooter into an iso score. The man is brilliant.

>>74364553

oh so you think your chances will be better when 32 year old IT has to match up against the 76ers and Pellies?

>>74364553
Stop making sense. What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>74364553
>instead of trying to beat Lebron, celtics are okay with being cucks waiting until after he declines thinking their future draft picks will automatically be studs

>>74364617
Yes. This year they have almost zero chance...even if you simply added George and didn't subtract 2 or 3 of Smart, Crowder, Bradley.

People are putting too much focus on IT being THE guy. He's not, he's the guy for now and for the next couple of years. Adding someone like Hayward or Griffin to this group should keep them very competitive.

After that, when IT is 30, who knows? Maybe the ping pong balls will have given them Fultz and Ayton.

This way their window stays open much, much longer.

>>74364553
Did the gingivitis reach your brain Nigel? The Celtics have great contracts and wanting till rookie develops will waste the opportunity to get stars with the monster cap space.

>>74364663
They're not waiting until rookies develop. They're trying to win with this group (+ whoever they get in FA with their cap space), and THEN when the rookies develop they'll have a brand new window.

Why on earth would anyone suggest they shorten the window to be maybe 1% more competitive against Cavs and Warriors. It makes literally zero sense.

>>74364694

how is that any different from the position the timberwolves are in right now, waiting for their young talents to become good in 5 years when the warriors dynasty is over?

Sure they get to be a 3rd seed for 2-3 years but like you said they aren't beating the cavs so it means nothing

Horford is going to be old af and manletman is going to demand a max contract of at least 30M+/year while declining.

>>74364777
They weren't beating the Cavs no matter what they did.

Minnesota are banking everything on their young guys all coming good at the same time. The Celtics are already good, and hope to add elite young talent to that veteran core. Then when IT and Horford are finished, the young guys become the veteran core.

It's a good plan. Can they get a big FA to sign? Can they make the right draft picks? Who knows. If they can, they're set up for a long window of being very good.

Who is the pressure on tonight lads>

>>74364896
tl;dr

lebron is too good, instead of trying to beat him we'll wait it out and hope our draft picks aren't busts

4 years from now i will be laughing if Lebron and the Cavs are still the team to beat Kyrie still won't be 30 and he hasn't even reached his prime right now.

>>74364898
The Spurs. They can't lose to these shit clippers

>>74364817
Yup you need a good core of players instead of just 2 superstar ones. The kings knew demarcus wouldn't change the pels now they have 2 draft picks.

>>74364529
>the media bought into the flyover meme

>>74364956
>good free agent
cap space is going up like what 8-10M? Boston has no caproom right now and 10M is the going rate of a solid bench player not on their rookie contract.

While I think the Bulls and Pacers were retarded for overvaluing Bulter and PG, the Celtics next year won't be better than they are this year.

One advantage the reptors have over the celcucks is that Defrozen and Lowry have experienced playing against Lebron in the playoffs.

>Ben Simmons will miss remainder of the season

Is anyone else unironically cheering for the Warriors because of this JaVale vs Shaw beef? I'm so sick of Shaw not being able to take a joke while also taking his own jokes way too far. I want McGee to win the championship just to see how much shit he talks to Shaw on Twitter.

If the Warriors win the championship it will be because McGee literally never sees the court in the playoffs. He sucks dude.

>>74366038
