doubt it for 6ers, bucks or pho. unless u consider hiring lead assistants that they already had as new blood. otherwise i think they go with coachs whove been HCs previously.

i hope toronto dont go batshit crazy and actually hire jj redick

That would be interesting. I do not have a name in mind, but it would be cool if some top euro league coach was hired by the raps.

the last one in recent memory (david blatt) didnt last too long

Coaching musical chairs would be hilarious. Interesting that all the openings are decent teams to contenders. Most years, there are more openings on shitty teams.

It would be worth his while, like huge ROI to pay some firm 1 mil a year to keep him from destroying himself.

Here’s hoping for a nuggets Celtics final.

Hah I'm rooting for the exact opposite. Rematch of 2020 finals but this time jimmy buckets getting the ring. Very unlikely to happen though tbf.

Doc fired now too. That means Philly, bucks, pho, and Tor all open. Will be a shuffle or new blood? Some pretty prime jobs available.

Doc is an insane example of how having good coworkers once can inflate your reputation. Dude is a bottom 5 coach for 15 years and still won a title because his team was stacked.

Also, this LA-Den series is another reason no one watches the NBA. Clear rigging to try to make LA win, and they still lose. Lebron wouldn't be able to play 12 minutes if he was reffed like anyone else.

Its worse than just Lebron, of course. AD wouldn't make it out of the 1st half if they enforced landing rules on him. It was basically a 30 point + lakers reffing in G1, and they still lost.

40 pts and 10 rebs and still getting outplayed by the other team's center is insane. Jokic is a monster

I thought the reffing was fine in G1 and I prefer the Nuggets. If there was any rigging going on, it was sending Wemby to the Spurs instead of some black hole that will ruin his career. Poor Scoot is going to the Hornets though.

Another Den win, another attempted lakers rigging. The refs don't even pretend the lakers have to abide by the landing zone rule. Denver robbed of at least 10 and-1s in this game. Lebron doesn't even pretend to not to throw bows on all of his drives.

I'm not a big name caller, but that was a certified LeFlop moment.

I love Lowry.. the guy was awesome in his prime.... however he is really keeping these games close. Miami is eating Boston alive when Lowry is on the bench.

Webster should've been fired as well as Nurse. Since Ujiri gave up the GM reigns the team stopped finding diamonds in the rough. The Raptors need to find a GM and a Capologist to traverse the minefield that is the new CBA.

Best part was when Jokic paid him back a minute later. I was watching in a restaurant with mostly Lakers fans and the entire place still got a laugh out of it.
