the westbrook trade was so bad it basically ended the leGM era. notice that the FO basically resisted all pressure from klutch/lebron since that...
new cba was built in part to answer what phx and the clippers and nets and gs were doing, so there are more than financial guardrails. like, you...
rob's already done pretty well in kind of weaning off klutch/lebron's influence without causing a civil war, which is a positive sign. the next...
yeah, i meant to imply this in a post earlier. not everyone will replicate their success everywhere, and people need to be mindful of that with...
i'm with fish in that i think jeanie's voice is pretty much gone, as are the rambii, etc. that may mean rob, too, but i don't think that one...
we should be raiding the lower staff of these successful teams, as i don't think poaching at the top levels will be an easy feat. i just hope we...
[ATTACH]
yeah, i'm obviously shocked, too. i figured indy would give it all but come up short in the 4th quarter. wrong! i expect okc to win comfortably...
exactly the sort of thing not having deep-pocketed owners causes. this would have been terrible financially, but very helpful competitively.
Scaring off competition is also the work of a gm. We got AD for less than magic offered, btw. People forget that everything was on the table at...
there aren't a lot of sf types that we struggle with. the early iterations of the lebron teams struggled mightily with those, but honestly, not...
collins is much more functionally athletic (just watch the highlights, tbh). neither has super great hoop iq/intuition, though i'd say rui's...
i'm a rui fan, but i've suggested collins for a while as a bench 4/5 for us who's a better rebounder than rui. we'd lose some of what rui does,...
i'm hoping this happens, like, tomorrow. big offer to someone who's done good work as an assistant gm around the league. who's tim connelly's...
yep. we've all known that we weren't running things like everyone else, and i think we will now. the best gauge of whether a lakers move...
he's mostly been winning more than these guys...this is my point--the bar is so much higher here that it distorts comparisons. like, toronto...
like the one to dan hurley? which should be lesson on at least two fronts, i think...
is the contention that our current gm doesn't use analytics? sorry; the hero worship of gms that work elsewhere is weird to me. like, none of...
the idea that big defenders matter more than small ones. i mentioned it briefly above. one could argue that day-to-day, a rudy gobert does...
whataboutism doesn't make magic a good front office guy in retrospect. and we've been over his specific stated ownership of some of the worst...
