Although people want to keep wrongly saying there's no talent on Miami, they underachieved during the regular season. Every coach would take Butler, Adebayo and Herro.
Tell me you never watched the Nuggets this year without telling me you never watched the Nuggets all year...It's a simple question, who was the better coach in the finals? Not the regular season, not earlier playoff rounds, not switching teams. Spo was slow reacting to Gordon being too big for Miami. I saw it immediately and said Miami needs Love. Spo had to think about it, go over tape, and then he figured it out for game 2. Spo was a step behind Malone all series x's and o's, motivation, everything. That Denver defense in the 4th quarter was amazing and Denver isn't a great defensive team. No players were walking up the court. Malone had that team firing on all cylinders.
Firing on all cylinders...![]()
Surrender noted. You won't answer who was the better coach and would rather post like a 15 year old.Tell me you never watched the Nuggets this year without telling me you never watched the Nuggets all year...
why? He's a coach that truly motivated his team. That's tough to do today. He had more weapons than Spo and he used it to capacity. Players, coach all went to Malone this round. Maybe that's not the case if they meet in another championship, but you can't deny what we all saw.
Denver is the only NBA champion to finish outside the top 10 in defense....
Who was the better coach in the finals? Don't post some silly emoji that the kiddies post. Unless you had your mind made up before the games started it was Malone.
The dynamics of the East will drastically change next season if Lillard ends up in Miami and Beal to Milwaukee.
Not taking anything away from Denver but the East was weak.
If the gap in pay is expected to be that wide, there's no way he can stay, who in their right mind would sign for half of what another team is offering, Brown was great for them, there's no doubt, but he's replaceable
Neither of those guys play point guard.He is replaceable. Braun showed a lot in the series, and 2022 #1 Peyton Watson needs some playing time.
if Lillard ends up in Miami and Beal to Milwaukee.
Neither of those guys play point guard.
Having the best passer in the league in Jokic means they don't really need a traditional PGDoes Denver have a designated point? It seems like Murray controls the ball most of the time.
They'll either flip him or buy him out, just don't understand why you would trade your best player, an all star, still in his prime, for basically nothingMr. Nice Guy Paul shipped to NBA's Siberia![]()
NBA allows this fuckery to happen.
Ayton to the Bulls for Derozan and other shit and you got yourself grade A fuckery.
Durant
Beal
Derozan
Booker
Try stopping that. Those brothers in Phoenix really don't give a shit.
The Celtics will be fine, they don't need to do anything other than a couple of smaller moves, they should keep the core together, if anything I can see them trading one of their guards, either Smart or Brogdon, but realistically if they brought back the same team, they're still one of the favorites in the East next season.Celtics on the outside looking in….
That's an awful lot of mouths to feed with only one basketball, hard to see a team with that many scorers making it work, they would also have to fill out their roster with low salaried players due to the enormous contracts of those guys, they would be fun as hell to watch, no doubt, but as far as on court success, I have my doubtsNBA allows this fuckery to happen.

And how did things turn out for the Nets? I predict a similar fate for the Suns, they'll be the team that the public falls in love with, but it isn't as easy as throwing a group of talented players together, no way to know how they'll play together, what kind of chemistry they'll have, and while a starting backcourt of Booker/Beal is certainly talented, neither of them is a PG,, they might miss CP more than they think, the Suns now have three scorers, but who will be the distributor, many questions still surround that team, including if they keep or move AytonSuns becoming the Nets from a couple years ago…
From a fit standpoint, I think the Heat would have been the better option, but he preferred Phoenix, so be itWill be interesting to see how creative the Suns have to get filling in roster whether they keep Ayton or let him go. We know Booker and the aging KD will continue to 'get theirs,' so Beal's ceiling is instantly capped with the Suns, pending an injury to KD/Booker....which is probably pretty likely.
They still need to find another 1-2 productive players for that pathetic bench of theirs, with very little to spend.
So does Draymond go to the Lakers or Celtics?
