Always felt he was wildly overrated. Dude has averaged 52 games per season in the last 4 years. He's available effectively 2/3 of the season. $1 million dollars per game. He's still got 3 years, $150M left on his contract. Lousy contract for an overrated player with an equally lousy attitude.
Had we gutted this team and gave up even more picks for him, I'd have been done with the team entirely after 40 years.
I am so sick and tired of the name chasing. So lame. |
Absolutely, him and CJ mentioned earlier in here are not worth anywhere remotely close to what they are paid and when you have that big of a blackhole eating up your cap it's nearly impossible to be much more then a middle of the pack team at best. It's why I was so happy to see the Suns getting Beal instead of actual quality depth which is what they really needed imo. |

Better to punt the season than risk career ending injuries to Dame and Giannis.
Doc Rivers is like The Mummy. He curses every team he goes to.

The Bucks screwed themselves by trading Jrue for Dame. Installing Doc as coach has just sped up the failure.
These injuries also just give Doc another excuse and another year (at least) to be a coach in this league. "They still have not beaten our starting five." |

If Doc is retained next season he will have a lot of pressure on him. IMO it's finals or bust.

The Pacers could also mount an interesting challenge because of their fast-breaking style of play.

For better or worse, I feel he has to be retained because the team isn't healthy and ownership gave him a fat 4-year contract. They're not eating $30M for a coach they only had on board for 1/2 a season.
They're already paying Griffin something like $4M/year for the next 3 seasons as well. Having $14M in dead money for each of the next 3 seasons for 2 fired coaches would make ownership look even more stupid. The only way Doc doesn't come back next season is if Giannis gives them an ultimatum. |

Kristaps Porziņģis limping. Good thing the Leprechauns have a large lead.

Maybe 34 yr old Giannis will follow in Lebron's footsteps and come to LA. Normally, I don't like to give 30 yr old+ players the max but if he's been top 5 or top 2 his whole career, then it's worth the investment.
KG gave Doc a gift that keeps on giving with that one championship.

Well, that might make things interesting out East. But we’ll see. If it isn’t serious. Boston should cruise to the Finals.
Just gotta hope whoever comes out of the West is healthy.

The East is so bad Porzingis could be done for the playoffs and they’d still cruise.

If Fostin can’t win it this year. With no Jimmy, Giannis, Lillard, Randle.
They should blow it up.
And I’ll happily take Brown off their hands.
He’ll get the Rick Fox treatment. Once you put on the purple and gold. All Foston sins are forgiven.
