Monty Williams Fired (Hired by Detroit)

[TRW]

I wondered about this myself. He's the interim, though, isn't he?

No he’s the guy. Don’t know how long his contract is but I don’t think it has expired.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I want Lue as my #1 also but think the price may be a problem.

Doc Rivers was gotten for a 1st rounder.
Stan Van Gundy was gotten for two 2nd rounders.

We really can't be giving up picks like that for a coach right now IMO.

For free? Lue. Otherwise Nick Nurse is my new #1. And we may be fighting Milwaukee for him.

I read that Milwaukee is interviewing Mark Jackson too.

I want Budenholzer, for our next coach. By that I mean the coach that gets hired when our short Durant window closes and we're left with the unknowns that work their butts off to make up for their shortcomings. I'm not sure who I want as the sacrificial lamb for the next 2 or 3 years but Bud is a great coach with scrubs. He or Kenny Atkinson would top my list once our next guy is fired.

 

[MrYeahBut]

Mark Jackson is out for me. I can't get behind a coach that I don't even like.

I wonder whether Doc Rivers will be available.

Nurse/Fred VanVleet combo addition would be nice if we can swing it.

I thought FVV and Nurse had issues this year? I vaguely remember hearing FVV didn't get along with him.

 

[Folster]

I wonder whether Doc Rivers will be available.

Having mastered the 2-0 choke under Williams, Rivers could really take us to the next level with the 3-1 choke.

Nurse lost that locker room and butted heads with VanVleet.

Do we have a first round pick for Lue or does Brooklyn own it?

I might have interest in Lue if they let him go. I have no interest in any coach that costs us a pick or picks.

The nets own it IIRC

 

[AzStevenCal]

The nets own it IIRC

Yes, the Nets own our first round pick this year and every other year for the next 1,000 years. Or at least it will feel that way as they cash in our next 4 first rounders.

Hey, you can't choke away a 3-1 lead until you get one.

The Nets own the Suns 1st rounder every other year until Devin Booker is the same age as KD is now, to put into some perspective.

Can you put it into some other perspective, maybe one that doesn't bring up bile?

 

[JosiahLee]

Why would Lue want to come here? I’d love him, but I’d there any incentive? He’s well liked there.

Which sucks not cause we’ll be picking top-5 but b/c we won’t be able to improve team more by trading them. However, once the draft starts in those years we still have our picks (24’, 26’, 28’) they can be traded. See the Shamet trade in 21’ while OKC had our pick in 22’.

True but with the assets we gifted Brooklyn, our pick in that swap year probably isn't going to have a lot of value. Still, it's better than not having one at all.

The Suns don't want to have anything to do with draft picks anyway. After all, they are skeletons.

 

[Mainstreet]

I guess I should also mention the Nets have the right to swaps picks in the 2028 draft.

Anyone missing any twins?

Those comments by JJ make me leery of how much was Sarver and how much was him, especially regarding to the draft. He did a hell of a job convincing the world it was his decision to neglect the draft.
