AROUND THE NBA THREAD. OCT 2021 edition

[Predator]

Some interesting games today:
Suns - Lakers, both 0-1
Spurs - Nuggets, both 1-0
Jazz - Kings, could tell us a little more about SAC

 

[THE HCP]

except another team thought Carlisle was worth employing as a head coach and not Stotts for some odd reason

no echoes here

You don't think Stotts will be a head coach in the NBA again?

No

Not for a good team. He might get a job from one of the bottom 1/2 teams, but nothing where it's a good team that has an opening.
Very good assistant thought and I'd hire him for that in a heart beat.

Money.
Stotts gets paid to sit. He isn’t going to take a job yet.

Exactly. He's getting $5 million a year to drink beer and watch timbers games as well as watch all the basketball he wants. My bet is he becomes an analyst for someone at some point.
When he takes a job it will be on his terms.

No matter what he does, i wish him the best. Looks like we need a Where's Terry thread.

I’m not sure that he wants to be and I’m not sure anyone would want him in that role.

And… I don’t think he’d want to coach the teams that would be likely to offer him the job either. When Vogel gets fired, I don’t see LeBron calling Stotts anytime soon.

Is that why he was interviewing for jobs?

Just because he is enjoying life doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to be a NBA head coach. If he was offered a head coaching position, do you think he would’ve said “nah, I’m good. Thanks”? It’s not exactly Phil Jackson taking a break we are talking about here.

Ok. Becoming an analyst isn’t a head coach. The post asked if he was going to be a head coach again, not an analyst. My bet is he would rather be a head coach than drinking beer at a Timbers game.

No matter what he does, i wish him the best. Looks like we need a Where's Terry thread.

Same and I hope he gets another job somewhere else if he wants it. Good guy.

When Vogel gets fired

You see the future well. My bet is Vogel won't last the season.

Echoes of Stotts

you and like three others on this forum beating this ridiculous drum don't speak for the rest of us.

hardly an echo.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Why is there a countdown like a release date to an album or movie?

If it’s that serious, release that shit asap

They probably want to get more collaboration evidence.

 

[DDolla]

Hey guys, at least our only problem is how Neil Olshey handling our team. Imagine having an owner like Sarver. Our team is not good but our players and management are all good citizens.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

All I got from that is that Porzingis just isn't very good.

 

[Buffalo Custard]

You don't think Stotts will be a head coach in the NBA again?

I'm sure he will. But like his stints with the Hawks and Bucks he won't get 9 years.

 

[DDolla]

LMA playing well

 

[Fairly-Hard]

This is categorically false.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

If it wasn't for the ex-Blazers, the Nets would be 0-2

 

[Predator]

This is categorically false.

[Rastapopoulos]

If Scottie Barnes doesn't end up being the best player taken in this draft... then it's a fucking amazing draft.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Phoenix is just so smooth with passing the ball around. It’s really fun basketball to watch.

 

[MickZagger]

Lakers going to be 0-2 after tonight. I love it.

Kings looking legit against the Jazz

 

[DDolla]

WOW after game 2 the Lakers are already exploding
