Around the League / Regular Season Thread (Upstairs Version)

Same medical staff used for the Saints because of cheap ass Tom Benson. One of the biggest reasons I hope NOP doesn't get the #1 pick.

David Griffin got a raw deal, tbh. Wonder if that Dejounte trade may have sealed his fate. Ownership sometimes flip over stuff like that. You really gonna ask me to pay big money for another damaged goods' after you packaged a potential MIP and a DPOY candidate out of town? Sometimes you are the victim of your own success.. Dyson Daniels wouldn't have been expendable if Griffin wasn't so good at nailing his wing draftees..

Jenkins is still my top choice.
Just 40 with a proven track record of developing young players, even those who weren't supposed to have a high ceiling.

Bud is probably not in the best mental state after these past few years and Malone is someone who will never get over himself.
Vogel would be decent, I guess.

Yeah this is unacceptable watching the young players stagnate here, gonna have to fire Pop if he doesn't step down this week. Think my board goes:

1. Jenkins
2. Vogel
3. Malone
4. Coyote
5. Pop
6. Mitch

Phoenix is the most desirable HC position in the entire league, by a long shot.

Sign a huge 4-year deal, only have to live and coach in Phoenix for 9 months before you get fired, and you still get to collect on the balance of the contract. Sign me the up.

. I was just thinking “well, they’re back to paying 3 coaches again, Vogel, Bud, and whoever they hire”.

Dallas Wings just drafted Paige Bueckers #1 overall. Mavericks fans... I think a phoenix (Pegasus?) rises from the ashes. Seriously, Dallas fans should just go all in on the Wings and financially abandon the Mavs franchise.

Dominique Malonga highest French player drafted in WNBA history at #2

Tony Parker "she is the female version of Victor Wembanyama"

She’s looks like a force out there

I said that's the tallest 6'6 ever because she looks more like 6'9. Going to be a force for Seattle and I think they must be very happy right now with the pick.

It would be an interesting read if someone makes an analysis of the coaching strategies of the main contenders, Madam Becky included

Btw the latest Bill Simmons pod with Windhorst is some of the best content I've listened to for years. Mostly for diehard fans than for casuals but some fantastic insights and speculation, stuff between the lines, etc. Awesome.

The between the lines stuff about Windy’s morning shower and make up routines for Get Up was interesting too

Well, this makes him virtually untradeable. It was a hard sell before with his injury history, but this is radioactive. I wonder if this will be enough for them to waive his unguaranteed contract. If their only option is try again with his fat busted ass, maybe they don’t?

[Mugen]

At least he has that Mamba Mentality off the court tbh

[Dex]

That Jane Doe really finds herself getting into a lot of trouble, doesn't she?

His body make him untradeable. But yes, this certainly doesn't help the cause of the Pelicans.

I called it from the jump that this dude's weight would not tolerate his style of play, and here we are six years later and he has missed 55% of his games. But on Draft Day they already had him pegged as the next LeBron.

HeRAPED period.

of course spurs fans are the biggest sniffers

Man I would love to see how this ranking has changed from just 1 year ago and see just how big an impact the Luka trade had on Mavs fans.

Interesting that the bottom of the rankings is mostly filled with bad teams. Lack of negativity... or just apathy?

Also... Kings fans should be waaaaay more negative

low expectations. "flashes" count as winning
