NBA Season 2015/16

[RiOtChEsS]

Tom Thibodeau has been fired

Still think he's a top 6 or 7 coach - but this had to happen.

• New Orleans looking at Alvin Gentry
• Orlando hire Scott Skiles
• Chicago and Fred Hoidberg coming to terms is inevitable

TT a top 3 coach with doc and pop.

Pelicans should pick him up

Doc, Pop, Kerr, Budenholzer, Stevens, Carlisle, Kidd, Vogel, SVG

I think Thibs probably slots in somewhere in that last few.

no room for Spoelstra ???

Has he won without the best player in the world yet? ???

pfft has pop won without TD? Doc one one ring with prime KG, PP and Ray in the east :-X talk about pick n choose when the rings count ::)

I do like Spo, and he deserves to be in the conversation. Just don't think his coaching is proven enough yet. Look at the rosters of Boston and Miami and guess which team made the playoffs.. I know Wade and Bosh missed time but I think they underachieved :-X

u cant base his coaching career on one season, they definitely underachieved, they dont have an identity yet, apart from the stars missing time we brought in new guys in Dragic, McRoberts, Deng, the emergence of Whiteside, its a strong list talent wise, he will get it to fit, watch out for us next year ;)

Riot, have you heard about the contract problems going on between Miami and Wade? What do you think?

Still great when healthy, but he's probably not worth what he wants at this stage... :-X

1) i think he is bluffing
2) test the market, teams arent gonna give a 2 guard his age with his knees that money to play 50 odd games a year for 3 years
3) there isnt a better situation out there for him

Any chance Wade is doing it so he can get to Cleveland??? If he knows Love isn't going to be there next season, then they will have cap space for him surely. A starting line-up of Kyrie, Wade, Lebron, Thompson and Mozgov is scary.  :o

yes very scary to me. I dont want wade and his old knees on my team, also I dont like wade.

TT will demmand a pay rise this series has shown its better to get good role players to fill out the team.

Kryrie Shumpert James Thompson Mozgov/Varejo with Smith and maybe another 5-10 mil guy sounds better.

Funny thing is that Dellavedova is a free agent too and might require 5 mil to keep if he keeps up this play.

Wade would just clog up the guard positions, as great as Wade is he isnt the best SG for LeBron, he cant shoot the 3 well enough

Bucks trade Ersan Ilyasove for Detroit's Caron Butler.

Seems like just stocking up on depth in a position where they have a free agent (Milwaukee with Kris Middleton and Detroit with Monroe).

[My Chumps]

Far better deal for Detroit though. Remember when everyone thought Illyasove was really handy?

That's NBL All-Star Johnny Flynn to you.

Half.  Ilyasova is definitely there because Monroe is all but gone.  But Bucks did it to posture for free agency (BroLo, Chandler targets).

Middleton is a RFA and Bucks will match anything probably.
