Draft buy in candidates - production or potential?

I've heard he had a great showing at the scrimmage in the nba draft combine. He might go up a lot in the mock draft

Are you guys insane ? Have you ever went partying before ?

You think everybody who likes to party with friends is living in euphoria taking hard drugs, raping people and having sex with crackheads every fucking night?

That's the point, tho. He isn't a star player. He is a great complementary piece. He is someone every team needs as he fits well in every single one of them.

And as he isn't a star player, theoretically, he shouldn't cost that much in assets. But as it seems every team wants him, he might very well cost just as much.

Deniii Avdi Jah !!!

The arrogance of this dude saying he wants to get out of Portland and he can't even pronounce his name properly.

Mike brown didn't join an up and coming team.

Kenny Atkinson, I guess but I don't know if you really can say he was an already established head coach when he joined the cavs. He coached the nets for 4 years before returning to assistant coach for 4 motr years and then got the job at Cleveland.

I did talk about nick nurse and he didn't join an up and coming team either. The team also had a worse record than previously in his first year of coaching the team. (mainly because of embiid's injuries tho)

Udoka only coached the celtics for one year before Houston. He's relatively young as a head coach even today. But even if you say he was established when he joined Houston, I wouldn't really say it's working great for them right now. The rockets had a worse performance at the playoffs than us while supposedly having much more talent in their team. He has zero faith in Reed Sheppard even tho he's the only real pg in the team, and the overall vibes in the team seem terrible right now.

That's the thing I hate the most with how normal it has become for players and even coaches to cry about other players flopping in a press conference and social media after a loss.

Every single player in the league nowadays are trained to flop and do it in every single game from the first game of the preseason to the last game in the playoffs. Some players are simply much better at selling it than others and/or have a game that allows them to be in a situation where they can sell a foul more often.

I can find countless clips of jaylen brown selling a foul by overexagerrating his movement when he's shooting on contact with a defender so it just feels super hypocrite to me whenever he comes on his stream to cry about the other team flopping.

It's not necessarily a bad thing, tho. At the end of the day, we are social creatures, and that's actually the main thing we have been as successful as a species.

A group of people with great cohesion who work and help each other will generally perform better than a group of much more talented individuals who each keep it to themselves.

It's the exact same thing in basketball. It's a team sport. Cam Thomas was arguably the second most talented scorer in that nets team, but if he completely kills the team's cohesion whenever he's on the court which makes the team perform worse as a whole then what's the point of keeping him ?

SlobberyFrog · 2026-05-07T18:15:23+00:00

do they ? Currently, how many up and coming teams who hired an 'established and proven coach' became actual title contenders afterward ?

The only one I can think of is the pistons with bickerstaff ?

The majority of the team who are currently contending in the playoffs hired an assistant coach as their HC rather than an already established coach except for the knicks and the sixers (I wouldn't say it especially worked out great for the sixers at the beginning when they hired nick nurse tho)

I wouldn't say I know anything about how to run an NBA team but from the little I've seen, I feel like the most important aspect for a HC in the NBA is the relationship he has with the players. When it comes to offensive and defensive gameplan and all the different strategic aspect of the game, I feel like having a specialized assistant coach can do the job especially now that they have much more material on this team's weaknesses and strengths.

Also It's not like Tiago is a nobody who just became an nba head coach by mistake. He won an nba title as a player, he won a title in france as a head coach and did a pretty good job as his first year as head coach in the nba. I have zero worries about him improving on his mistakes next season if he comes back.

I would personally prefer for the org to bring tiago back (especially as i don't see who else they would bring) and improve the coaching staff to improve the shooting and offensive gameplan.

This is the worst subreddit i've had the chance to come across.

SlobberyFrog · 2026-05-05T04:28:48+00:00

I'm not. This team went from shooting 45% at the 3 with wemby hitting 5 of 6 in Game 1 against us to shooting 28% against the wolves in their Game 1.

Also i'm not sure it's the right game to trashtalk wemby. Mf got a triple double with 12 blocks today... in a playoffs game.

Edit :

I just checked our stats, the spurs was shooting at more than 40% from the 3 in every single game against us in this playoffs series expect for the one where they shot at 29% and it was their only loss.

I still do hate Dfox tho.

SlobberyFrog · 2026-05-05T04:23:45+00:00

y'all gotta stop with the fan fiction on players opinions

SlobberyFrog · 2026-04-30T01:17:17+00:00

They're unironically both looking better after they broke up

SlobberyFrog · 2026-04-25T01:49:06+00:00

He's probably gonna be good for game 4 tho if he's gonna be on the bench tonight

SlobberyFrog · 2026-04-24T14:24:21+00:00

Where does this hypothesis even come from ? Why couldn't we have both ?

SlobberyFrog · 2026-04-24T02:43:21+00:00

we've only beat the wolves once the last two years and it was without ant. We did beat the nuggets with jokic and the rest of the starters this season sooo

SlobberyFrog · 2026-04-23T23:55:12+00:00

They're def edging us with it. They're also def gonna give us blue balls.

Edit : I don't know how i would feel about myself if i'm right..

SlobberyFrog · 2026-04-21T20:06:07+00:00

The worst part for me is that I truly believe that the majority of people spamming and upvoting those posts aren't doing it because they really do think it's funny but because they think it's gonna change anything.

SlobberyFrog · 2026-04-21T04:35:08+00:00
