The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

[WASHED KING]

If I have a healthy Curry, klay, Kd in their primes you can definitely roll a ball out and win titles. Y'all can miss me with that.

I have no problem with Kerr taking over for Pop. Either him or Spo.

 

[spiderjericho]

Spo is another one.

But I'll say he's demonstrated his coaching grit and ability.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Bro. He had KD, Clay, Draymond, Steph, etc.

Even before KD went there. He had the "Lineup of Death!!" They have the winning-est season. And went to back=to-back finals.

Let me ask you an honest question. What was your assessment of the Golden State Warriors before 2015?

 

[HIM]

Lakers gonna retire both 6 and 23 for Lebron?

Spoiler

Yuck

Of course. They retire everyone’s number and even retire multiple numbers for people.

Biggest thing for a usab coach is that the players would like to play for you.

They were down 3-2 to the Rockets one year, tied 2-2 the next.

Durant likes to iso. You live with him taking contested fades over Tucker. Sometimes those shots rim out & Curry/Klay have been reduced from superstars to spectators.

It’s always deeper than talent.

After going 7, Houston had MORE problems defending the Warriors with Durant off the court in games 5 & 6 the next year.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Kerr's strength is making Steph look better than what he is. He doesn't get enough credit for developing that system

Judging by recent player sentiment, it seems like we'll get to a place where most players will believe they do not need a head coach anymore.

Words to live by.

None of them will have a good answer for this . It’s like if Chauncey Billups turned this blazers team into a 68 win team and a championship, followed by 73 wins and another finals appearances.

 

[lovehateself]

they spelled nuggets wrong

This was a “big 3” in the East in 06-07. Won 50 games with these cats

Lol. I said he's a good coach. I said not sure about Nash or Walton...

Steve Kerr was an ingredient in the Warriors Recipe that took them to five straight finals.

 

[HIM]

Kerr still eating off what Mark Jackson built. Just doesn’t sit right with me. Took that team from a laughingstock to a 50 win team, impoving every year. Just for the white knight to come in and reap the rewards

 

[nick.]

Ehhhhh....

Heat
Lakers
More recent Cavs
Older Cavs

This sarcastic post is true tho. Shoutout to Kerr for maximizing talent

When does the NBA release the GM surveys? I always like to see who they consider the steals of the draft. I remember Mccaw getting a lot of votes one year

Look at this


Which rookie will be the best player in five years?

1. DeAndre Ayton, Phoenix – 27%

2. Jaren Jackson Jr., Memphis – 27%

3. Luka Doncic, Dallas – 17%

4. Marvin Bagley III, Sacramento – 13%

5.Kevin Knox, New York – 13%

6. Wendell Carter Jr., Chicago – 3%

Last year: Josh Jackson – 24%

Trae not eem being listed. Luka not being first

6moty as a rookie is wild. And he was at 22ppg by year 3.

Them Baby Bulls was fun to watch. Ben Gordon led this team in scoring with 17ppg .



Andres Nocioni era.

My son Embiid with the yoppa

 

[HIM]

Ben Gordon gotta be top 5 best Europeans of all time.
