Is it me or does it feel like the Suns Head Coach Monty Williams is about to get fired?

12 May 2023 20:56:44
I’d give another year, injuries hit pretty hard earlier in the year and of course with CP3. Trading Ayton has to priority #1 imo. Even if it’s for a 3 good role guys or something.

12 May 2023 23:44:40
If he does, I hope Billups if fired the same day and Portland hires Monty.

13 May 2023 02:52:45
Pels screwed up firing him.

13 May 2023 02:55:30
Yea, I just think it is lame to blame 2 elimination games losses down by 30 on Ayton here.

This seems like a coaching issue of not having answers when Durant/ Booker are off.

13 May 2023 04:02:05
Phoenix has similar issues as last year and pre trade deadline this year’s Lakers. Outside of their top 2, they’re not very good. No depth. Their third highly paid player is lackluster (and Phoenix has a fourth highly paid player who is lackluster too) .

13 May 2023 04:18:03
Not necessarily blaming Ayton but he isn’t good enough to be paid the way he is, like Gobert now. Just like I wouldn’t blame Monty for coaching a deal that has been dealing with injuries and a team with no depth.

14 May 2023 01:39:04
Well he got dismissed. Horrible fire.

10 May 2023 23:14:25
HOLY HECK!

Lebron James got the absolute last spot on the All-NBA teams this season.

WOW!

Kings would probably prefer Trayce Jackson-Davis over GG Jackson. GM Monte McNair draft pattern so far with the Kings is non-freshman players from Midwestern teams. TJD fits that "mold" perfectly.

10 May 2023 02:22:52
Don’t think Pels go that route.

10 May 2023 09:20:24
Mavs go for four : )

12 May 2023 04:24:25
Pels need a true good backup for Zion, and frontcourt depth.

Really surprised that Sharpe didn't make the second team.

06 May 2023 22:01:15
Is there anything the Bucks can do to upgrade their roster? They basically dont have the assets to do it right?

07 May 2023 00:59:30
They have their Taxpayer MLE so per sign some bench player.

05 May 2023 23:33:38
Who do you think gets the larger contract next year (total guarenteed $$$)? Dillon Brooks or Miles Bridges?

06 May 2023 04:38:33
Miles.

06 May 2023 22:45:11
I feel like he will be in a Pacers uniform next season.

07 May 2023 18:21:39
@NBA16. If so, Kings would be willing to take Jalen Smith off the Pacers hands to make room for Miles Bridges.

09 May 2023 02:14:00
I’ve always like Smith, wish he would’ve had a break out year this past year. He was amazing 2nd half last year.

09 May 2023 04:20:26
Jalen Smith has had great games against Sacramento and displayed the skill set needed to play next to Sabonis.

05 May 2023 16:16:53
Just out of curiosity, does anyone here remember DifferentBeast MD talking about how the Orlando Magic were going to playoffs quicker than the Sacramento Kings would be?

Just curious how did that work for you, MD?

05 May 2023 20:22:27
Or maybe someone with a name like md staysmooth or something? Lmao. Magic didnt even make the playin and kings had homecourt advantage.

06 May 2023 09:30:12
MD_StaySmooth already retired

I admitted I was wrong I expect them to make playoffs next season.

06 May 2023 17:16:29
Yes, MD, the Kings will make the playoffs against next season.

06 May 2023 19:36:57
I’m talking about my team dude.

07 May 2023 00:59:23
Bwahaha. I remember. As usual. Was wrong.

05 May 2023 00:51:28
So did Nick Nurse just upgrade from Toronto to Milwaukee?

11 May 2023 03:02:35
Selfishly I hope Nick gets whatever job he wants as long as his new boss is OK with him continuing to coach the Canadian national team. High hopes for this year's Worlds and the next Olympics with Shae leading the way.
