MalibuSunrise Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Budenholzer is the favorite to replace Vogel who might jump back to the Lakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Reaching European top-flight soccer levels of "lol nothing matters" on the coaching carousel. Hot-sh!t new Suns owner guy has to eat four years of that contract he handed Vogel. I'm sure that's money we could put towards a point guard, but okay.

Dynasty Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 It might not be audacious to say that adding Durant was the worst thing to happen to this Suns team (you can throw the Beal trade in there as well). I don't even think there's much they can do at this point. They can't add to their bench because they're stuck with those enormous contracts and almost every other playoff team in the West has also gotten better. Phoenix just seems kind of stuck in that 6-10 seed playoff window for the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though an owner who keeps paying a coach (or two) that's no longer employed by his team may be less interested in paying the big salaries and luxury taxes that are likely required to compete. In any case, the imbalance of that roster was clear from day one but he wanted to make a splash instead. Fine, whatever. It's a lot like the recent Nets in that the team had a decent foundation, maybe even a better one considering their recent playoff pedigree. But blowing up your roster to cater to KD and friends never seems to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Wait...an NBA offseason thread and the Timberwovles have not reached the offseason?

The world is upside down. Even more fascinating when you consider that so many faces of the league over the past decade are on the outside looking in at this point. It's a new world order in the NBA.

It was better than a lot of the oldheads give it credit for, beyond a doubt. I still prefer the “post-Jordan dark night of the soul” era that was dominated by the Lakers and Spurs.

The_Admiral Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 The first half of the dark age was truly bleak, all Vince Carter and Allen Iverson taking bad shots and missing them [EDIT: ugh, the New Jersey Nets, UGH], but the back end of the dark age had the '04 Pistons smacking down the proto-superteam Lakers, the fun Suns teams, and the '07 Warriors beating the Mavericks to close it out. Fond memories of staying up all night watching Inside the NBA with a big bag of Taco Bell and a tank of Baja Blast. 2 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

who do you think Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 The Suns are starting to heavily resemble the Isiah Thomas era Knicks. Speaking of which, you'll never guess who a) has been reportedly holding some sort of vague advisor/consulting/shadow GM role within the Suns since Ishbia bought the team, and b) is literally on the board of directors for Cokehead's mortgage company.

Digby Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I always forget about the Dwight/Stan Orlando teams even though they were very good and had a couple of playoff classics with those Celtics teams. It's interesting in hindsight to look at the ways that the modern game started to show up a little bit, e.g. how Pop set up those Spurs teams, the Celtics letting Allen and Pierce (relatively) loose on the 3, pearl-clutching about the legalities of the Euro step... But Dwight seems like a total relic of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Dwight was instrumental in that 2020 Lakers title. The Lakers brought size back to the NBA for that year and they dominated as a result. And then they lost their bigs, had an unfortunate early exit and went all in on Russ. Dummies. 1 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
