    Couldnt stand del negro. The players didnt buy into his lame attempt at a system. Part of the reason why he hasnt gotten a job since.

    The wave has been here for years. Length allows you to play interchangeable lineups and switch everything if you want to.

    Gambo Said this today about Doncic .........

    Except all those guys are unicorn types, or at least can be. Cs and size will always rule the league. However, if you are a C who either doesnt protect the rim or space the floor, you dont play in tight games. The back to the basket, high usage centers are no more, because its not a high...

    Summer trades?

    Nailed it. Not to mention, I dont think you want to build with Nurkic as a piece without some quality defenders around him. Especially a guy who can cover behind him, because teams are going to pull him into high ball screens like crazy. Ive never been a fan, but I do like bigs who can pass and...

    Ayton can and will play some PF in the NBA. He can handle those high ball screens and can switch onto guard when engaged. Thats the good thing about him. If you already have a 5, you can play Ayton next to him. You can also play with him as your 5, although he does need to protect the rim better.

    Guys like that allow you to play like GS. I think Ayton's upside offensively is unlimited. I do think his defense can and will improve as well. Ayton is the no brainer #1 pick in my books.

    Compensation for Budenholzer?

    Hes also due a contract extension this summer. That's Dolan saying poo he either shouldn't be saying, or trying to gain leverage in contract negotiations.

    Compensation for Budenholzer?

    That's what i would love to know. Something happened. What was it?

    Compensation for Budenholzer?

    I just find it hard to believe he is holding out for a dual president of BBall ops/GM and coaching role, when everyone in the league knows that is recipe for disaster... Except owners and the coaches who want to tack on $$$ to their deal by asking for it. The Hawks ownership makes it known they...

    Compensation for Budenholzer?

    From Dolan. I wouldnt trust a word that guy says. Which is why I have a hard time believing Bud takes that job.

    Compensation for Budenholzer?

    Not buying it. I would be freaking shocked if Bud took the Knicks job. Zinger is the only thing that makes it appealing. However, I suppose if he was potentially willing to work for Sarver, he might consider working for Dolan. Dont see it happening.

    Choose The Suns Next Head Coach?

    Backstabbing is certainly framing it. That ownership is a mess and the picked Gasol over their coach. There is a reason LeBron, CP3, ect. all went to bat for the guy. Either way, I wouldnt consider him a great hire, but might be the best the Suns can do without hiring guys most have never heard of.

    Choose The Suns Next Head Coach?

    Fizdale would be a decent hire. Hes actually very well liked around the league and not a turd as a coach, as you say.

    Summer trades?

    I dont think Dame is a good fit next to Booker. Id want a two way PG, and a big wing who can create, plus Ayton. No need up and trade a bunch of guys right now, although I have never been a Chriss fan.
  15. Mr. Boldin

    Compensation for Budenholzer?

    I dont buy that Bud turned down the Suns because of personnel decisions. I think this is more likely. Ive also heard he would have interest in the Clippers job, as that roster is ready made for him. Not to mention a quality front office and Jerry West in the organization to help send talent his...

    Gambo Said this today about Doncic .........

    I took a break from writing prior to last season. I worked at Bleacher Report for quite some time (yes, they paid me. Yes I actually had to apply, test, and provide writing samples to become a columnist, unlike the everyday fan who would submit articles). Not sure if my stuff is still up there...

    Gambo Said this today about Doncic .........

    Im a huge NBA fan, have been a life long Clippers fan, and covered them for six years. Went to grad school and wrote my thesis on the NBA's development. Began writing, scouting, covering the league, studying the CBA, ect. Ive been lucky enough to make some quality connections all over the...

    Gambo Said this today about Doncic .........

    The trend is being able to create, pass, shoot, defend, especially with size. That has always been the formula. Doncic doesnt preclude the Suns from doing any of that. Its also why I prefer Ayton, who would be a monstar in Bud's system. Just dont like coming in here and reading about how Doncic...

    Gambo Said this today about Doncic .........

    I do agree with you on the defensive side of the ball. But, as I have posted earlier, Bud's calling card (outside of his system) is being able to find and develop two way wings. Thats his forte. Suns have enough assets to find a few two way wings who can play 2-3 and 3-4, with the hope Jackson...

    Gambo Said this today about Doncic .........

    I dont think he will have any issue with range on his jumper. While I guess you can call him a tweener due to his athleticism (which is just solid/good/ok), the more swingmen you have on your roster the better. This is especially true in Bud's system. I point to the Warriors, 76ers, Celtics...

    Compensation for Budenholzer?

    They wouldnt leave it that vague. It would be clear cut, some sort of protection, and if it doesnt convey via those protections by year X, it would convert to X 2nds.

    Gambo Said this today about Doncic .........

    I dont have my scouting report written up, but if Bud becomes coach, I expect Ayton to top his draft list and Doncic to be 1B, or 2. He would be a great fit for what Bud wants to do offensively. He slots in next to booker quite well, as the two of them are capable of initiating, with Doncic...

    Compensation for Budenholzer?

    I covered the Clippers for six years. Agine made that case because he knew he could swindle the Clippers out of a pick for a coach who did not want to be there anymore, and someone who was making that publicly known. He got CP3 to lobby the FO on his behalf to pull off the trade. Agine wasnt...
