what about JVG ?
They should bring Vinny Del Negro back tbh
The only teams trading for Choke-P3 are contenders who are willing to part with multiple role players that OKC could flip & the Cripples have a boat load. They can trade Harrell just like the Knicks signed Morris with the intention of flipping him in the future. For example, they can try going after Towns with draft picks + Harrell/Lou for salary matching purposes & placeholders.
One minute, Bucks were flawed b/c their star player couldn’t shoot. Next minute, the Bucks were flawed with a star player that can shootNah, S bag wasn't winning the championship with that flawed Bucks roster either.
Yeah, Kiwi completely nuked the Raptors culture while Butler was a saintSwap Butler with S bag and that takes care of the Heat's lack of a superstar problem, but the lack of a second option for a contender reason/excuse would have flown. He'd have altered their chemistry, which has been, dare I say . . . pristine.
Yeah, it was a case of being in a slump rather that being out of shape which explains why Montrez/Lou were blowing MULTIPLE point blank layups. They definitely would have definitely progressed to pre-Magic city shape in a week.Another assumption, this time that the Clippers' best role players wouldn't have experienced progression to the mean.
I'm assuming Doc still gets paid on the remaining two years, despite the ESPN report that he stepped down by mutual agreement?
He had a guaranteed contract so he was getting paid no matter what unless he was suspended.
quit on the Celtics just so the clippers could fire him.
Doc was always made so this is hilarious
Uncle meddling = Big payday for Rivers. I'd take the millions and buy an island. FTC....poison boy is in command.
Didn't the Celtics get a 1st round draft pick for Doc?
Nobody is taking on your awful players without taking some picks in exchange and you ain't got those, the best chance you have is getting a team willing to take your players in a salary dump, but I don't know if that's possible
I mean he was already choking playoff leads before this season. How do you have all that talent through the years and do about the same as vinny del negro did coaching the team?
Dude should retire - he's obviously snakebit re 3-1 leads. The look on his face when the Clips went up 3-1, trying to mask the panic and futility. He knew it was over.
Who would hire him?
"We like what Doc brings to our team - abject failure."
Doc has a lot of charisma and is very manipulative I"m sure he could con somebody into hiring him. Look at a guy like D'Antoni who is a chronic failure but still gets chance after chance despite failing. If he doesn't get a job this year I'm sure he will be back somewhere in the next few years.
Doc will land somewhere based on name recognition. Philly would be a good fit. Enough talent for him to underachieve with like he has for all of his teams outside the 08 Celtics.
Surprised by this move but Pringles is probably the guy to get for this team. Rivers is a good head coach but he has his struggles. All those blown 3-1 leads though over the years has him out the door for sure.
pg cucked doc daughter, now he cucks doc out of a job
I don't think Pringles is the answer either. He's a choker just like Doc is. Basically you are exchanging one choker for the other.
Maybe Phil Jackson. He's one of the best at winning it all when you're expected to.
Come on that meltdown was epic even if not all his fault someone had to pay for it ...
With both your whipping boys gone, who will you blame now?
Sure, but they can minimally get a comparable offer from the Bucks (conflicting reports of interest), 76ers or some unknown team. This is probably the last team they want to help. At thinking that pu pu platter would get them in the ballpark for Towns, if/when.
Uh, you can be flawed for multiple reasons, as I outlined. S bag isn't solving the lack of play making.
The Raptors were established; the Heat aren't and by all accounts, Butler has played a significant part in helping to forge or foster the chemistry.
Maybe not all the way, but even halfway could have made a difference.
What exactly are you calling a poo-poo platter when they have a million picks? They just need palatable out going contracts that isn’t going to make the Wolves think twice.
They had Brogdon/Middleton who could get their own shots & have actually thrived in the postseason without Giannis unlike Siakam. Lopez could have gotten his playing PnP with Kawhi ala Ibaka. If anything it would have opened up driving lanes for Bledsoe to penetrate. At the end of the day, they struggled b/c Giannis couldn’t do shyt in the half-court which is Kawhi’s speciality (he had more half-court assists than Lowry vs. Sixers/Bucks).Uh, you can be flawed for multiple reasons, as I outlined. S bag isn't solving the lack of play making.
Yeah, to the victor go the spoils. We all know how those narrative work. Lowry was an asshole & a choker but now all of a sudden he’s Joe Dumars despite the only thing changing being he was Kawhi’s teammate for a season. Chris Paul meanwhile will be slandered to his grave b/c he wasn’t granted the same privilege.The Raptors were established; the Heat aren't and by all accounts, Butler has played a significant part in helping to forge or foster the chemistry.

Yeah I'd take the money and then go run to ESPN for two years doing color again. Then come back and lead talent laden squads to mediocrity again.
We need to stop calling him "Doc" Rivers. He's done nothing to have a nickname. Glenn Anton Rivers is his name.
Glenn "I lost three different 3-1 leads" deserved to be fired. The great part? Short of Phil Jackson taking over (he won't; doesn't like the Logo), who can they get this year to get them over the 2nd round hump? Ty Lue? He's gonna run a variation of the sets Glenn ran.
And with the roster they have in place, it's flawed despite what Ballmer paid the media to say. Lemon Pepper Lou is useless if he's not hitting shots. Ditto for Trez and neither plays defense. Paul George is shot mentally - fully feeling the pressure of all the draft capital Logo gave up to get him - and the expectations that came with it. We are seeing first hand why he didn't have the balls to don the P&G. He doesn't like the heavy expectations. I'd trade Kuz and JR Smith for him tho. Sike!
And Kawhi has a degenerative condition that will probably always need load management. Zaza really did him wrong man. Damn.
Karma bit them in the ass. All that conniving they did with Uncle Dennis. Delaying the Lakers from signing Seth Curry (or other free agents) as they waited for his decision. Then they bragged about getting Kawhi to Bron's face, etc. And after all that the Lakers still made it to the Finals and their team is in shambles.
You hate to see it
Sike!
In that case the Spurs could get control over the Clips' draft for the next two decades (pick/swap/pick/swap etc) for Pop...
...if the Clips hadn't already given that away for the next 7 years. Damn.
BAAAAAAHHHAAHAHA!! Nope! Pop would've been perfect. But...didnt Uncle Dennis burn that bridge too?
