2023-24 Around the NBA Thread
That explains a lot. Personally I thought the game was nearing it's peak then. Certain playoff series did get really physical but there should be some physicality. Now it seems there is too much guesswork and stars are allowed to be physical while others aren't. I miss the days when things were...- Hoop Head

I love that video. I was high on Coby headed into that draft and that video after the fact proved he was a good kid with the right attitude. Definitely happy with how things ended up, Suns with Cam and him being a legit player, but really would like to see Coby succeed simply because he seemed...- Hoop Head

The Suns' search for a New Coach Thread
I think Nick pulled his name because he didn't want to compete with an assistant from his Toronto staff for the position because he, Nurse, has options and won't have trouble finding a coaching gig elsewhere. For a former assistant of his though to be a finalist is big for them as a lot of guys...- Hoop Head

2023 NBA Playoffs - Other Teams
I agree with Chuck. Miami is an 8th seed playing out of their minds. A loss is almost expected. They've been counted out since the playoffs started. Now they're hobbled as well. No one in Miami will lose their job after a loss. Theres pressure on Boston. They're the higher seed, they have home...- Hoop Head

Coby is a bust, unfortunately. I wanted the Suns to draft him also but he hasn't an ability to score well, run an offense efficiently, or defend at the NBA level. He's has stars of some level to take pressure off him in Lavine, DeRozen, and Vucevic. I know those guys aren't at Booker or KD's...- Hoop Head

The Suns' search for a New Coach Thread
You never know. I don't think it'd be an issue on his side as he wanted to stick around as an assistant but coaches rarely, if ever, get demoted. He was the interim here and had no interest in a full time head coach position and spoke about how he'd like to return as an assistant after the...- Hoop Head

The Suns' search for a New Coach Thread
A tactician I wouldn't mind tutoring Young is Jay Triano. Some may remember him as the guy who took over when Earl Watson was canned 3 games into the season. He also had that team running some good sets, including a variation of the Valley Oop, perhaps inspiration, where Bender threw a lob to...- Hoop Head

Non-existent. It'll be one or the other. There are other tacticians out there. I wouldn't want the team to hire Young with an assistant like Nurse anyways since the narrative will always be "When does Nurse take over?" and that's not right to do to Young.- Hoop Head

I'm curious if Sarver cheaped out on our medical staff. Wouldn't surprise me at all. We had a renowned athletic and medical staff just a few years ago and then Sarver let Aaron Nelson leave to go to New Orleans. I'm not saying Payne will be healthy under a new team but I hope Ishbia looks at...- Hoop Head

You not considering him starting caliber is a bit of a joke. He started for the Lakers who had the best record in the league post trade deadline and were just in the western conference finals. So please tell us not only who these better options are but define "starting caliber" in your view...- Hoop Head

Sign and trade. I think the Lakers would take Paul. He'd give LeBron a buddy to pal around with. They aren't winning anything anyways so why not make LeBron happy? He's their unofficial GM. We all know he pulls the strings everywhere.- Hoop Head

2023 NBA Playoffs - Other Teams
Weren't the Red Sox the first team to come back 3-0 against the Yankees in 04? Baseball, sure, but that was the first time in major US sports I think. I still say Miami does it. They'll be at home for game 6 and Playoff Jimmy is due for an appearance. As an 8 seed, there is very little pressure...- Hoop Head

Similar as far as production goes but Russel does try each night. He's just not very effective or efficient. I need to look up and see how he did in Golden State before I'd say no because he'd be in a similar role here. He would be ok as a 3rd tier star of sorts, hes not a legit star but he was...- Hoop Head

Summer League isn't a good place to try it. Those kids play hard and there is little to no flopping. Definitely for the rule change but would like to see it adopted elsewhere like preseason first.- Hoop Head

Should Ayton be Traded?
The Pacers just gave Turner an extension. They don't want to dump him that bad. I'm not sure if swapping Ayton for Turner is the answer but the filler is what makes it intriguing. I have no doubt Turner could fill the role Ayton players but we need to turn Ayton into 2-3 players and I'm not...- Hoop Head

I think, maybe just hoping, there's a solid plan in place and that's why they're silent. Although they weren't exactly forthcoming with info in the past so maybe just more of the same. Durant's silences is odd though. He's usually noisy or has noise surrounding him.- Hoop Head

Should Ayton be Traded?
No chance. They aren't giving up GP2 again. The Warriors will look to move Poole. If they'd throw in Kuminga with him then I'd send Ayton there for Poole/Kuminga.- Hoop Head

Very fair. My dad's side of the family is all from the Detroit area and not a single one is still there. They've all moved to the Southwest. They're sprinkled here in AZ, California, and Utah. They all have the same reason for leaving too, Detroit winters. Monty isn't in a rush to take a job...- Hoop Head
