Why'd they fire him? I don't keep up with a whole lot in the NBA besides the Hawks

Because he isn't a very good coach, and got in a fight with the VP of BBall operations John Paxson.

They would like to match up a new coaching staff with at least one and possibly two full boat max contracts next season.

I predict they end up with 1 or 2 2nd tier guys like Boozer or Johnson, and the pipe dream of Bosh and a real coach passes them by.

Unfortunately.

^ A starting line up of Rose/Johnson/Deng/Boozer/Noah would probably be worthy of the 3rd best team in the east if that lineup existed this past season (with a decent coach). Still, I think that of all the potential FA's this summer only two (Lebron and Wade) are worth max contracts even though a few others like Bosh and Amare will get them. I think there will be a lot of overpaying this year and that will leave a lot of 2nd tier guys out on the street desperate for even a one year or two year deal. Then the Bobcats can swoop in and get some good stop-gap contributors.

You are exactly right.

Lots of hopes are being pinned on Wade and James, and neither one of those guys is going anywhere. That is awesome news for dudes like Bosh and the rest of the pack, as teams will get desperate to do SOMETHING....and overpay.

That will be the Bulls, and most likely they will end up with a mediocre coach...again.

Least you aren't a Hawks fan. We have the talent to beat Orlando or Cleveland or anyone but Woody couldn't motivate a retriever to fetch.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
