The Official NBA Season Thread: Free Agency Day

[pmatic]

The Lakers job just isn’t appealing.

Then in the end they blame it all on you and you’re fired in two years. Who knows if you’ll get another HC job.

I guess the money if that’s truly your motivation.

If Hurley had failed, he could've gone back to college to revive Villanova or Georgetown while being $70M richer (this wasn't enough to force him to leave ).

 

[JMB10215]

Hurley was never gonna be there coach, this was a smokescreen the whole time. JJ is the lakers next head coach.

JJ during Game 3

 

[JD617]

Finally feel some positivity for the franchise moving forward if they secure this dude.

It's going to suck if he doesn't take it

That's too bad.

Trash franchise all around

Agreed.

 

[headdetective]

Once the finals over, lakers gon announce the signing of JJ

 

[dacomeup]

Woj played the Lakers and made Shams look dumb to help his friend get a bigger raise. Respect.

 

[clyde the glide]

This is getting ridiculous. Boston is up 2-0. They had 4 players last night with 18+ points.
Folks want him to score 30 for no reason

 

[lovehateself]

they dont want the bright lights





meanwhile

 

[2163O1baller90]

Serious question

08 redeem team or the 2000 Olympics team?

I think the 2000 team would make it a close game

Fans are salty the Celtics are playing so well, so they have to resort to bashing Tatum for not being good enough. If they win, a ring is a ring who cares how much he’s scoring

I guess the money is nice of course. But career wise and image wise? Nah

Nick Saban’s career worked out fine I’m surprised Hurley declined

Except theyre not playing that well . They've played much much better throughout the season and playoffs

Celtics dont have to play great to beat this Mavs team. Most of the people who picked the Mavs just dont like the Celtics.

On the other hand, Mavs playing like dog****

I’m not talking about Hurley tho. Yea he’ll be fine.

I’m talking more in general.

Like in JJ’s case. Why do this? You know how it’s going to end.

Because you’re going to make a **** ton of money and you can go back to podcasting, announcing etc and make ever more when you’re done.

anything to get away from doris

 

[aepps20]

NBA is just a very difficult league to coach. Hurley is building something at UCONN and with how watered down the NCAAM is he will get multiple opportunities in the future.

 

[Coupé It]

Because you’re going to make a **** ton of money and you can go back to podcasting, announcing etc and make ever more when you’re done.

If it’s about the money then sure, go ahead and take it.

But if it’s about a long lasting coaching career? Nah.

NBA mom and pop shop

What’s funny is he shot enough shots to have 40. But he can’t hit the side of the barn. Y’all are acting like he’s just chillin and not trying to actually score

 

[ballinsam23]

Chump change after those Cali taxes

Smart choice by Daniel to decline it.

 

[finessence]

I would have took the job, have the mindset that I will get fired after 2 yrs and collect the rest before next move. LA ain't a bad place to live

Exactly. 70 million probably ends up being 25 after California state taxes

 

[dacomeup]

If it’s about the money then sure, go ahead and take it.

But if it’s about a long lasting coaching career? Nah.

By nature, the NBA isn’t really a long lasting coaching profession. JB Bickerstaff was the 6th longest tenured NBA HC before getting fired . If you impress people and you’re liked, then you might get another shot. I personally would just roll the dice.

 

[dacomeup]

Man, what? That’s not how taxes works

 

[finessence]

Man, what? That’s not how taxes works

After federal/state taxes it’s definitely going to be under 35. I put 25 because I’m not 100% sure how state taxes work in California

It would definitely be in the 25-35 million range in California. Add the jock taxes, etc its definitely going below 35.

Okay Mr. Accountant, how much money do you actually take home, in terms of 70 million in California?

 

[RustyShackleford]

Chump change after those Cali taxes

Smart choice by Daniel to decline it.

California's state tax rate is only .9% higher than Connecticut.

Edit: might be wrong. Let me look it up.

Edit2: they both use graduated so the top rate is Cali will be about 6 percent higher
