Feels very consultant driven or a product of certain corporate cultures. My old shop would spend a year and way too much money, blood, sweat and tears...

[slaw]

Yep. It made sense for everyone so that Paul got paid and a shot at a title while he had something left and the ability to get out of the deal is what...

[slaw]

I would say consistent effort and professionalism. For a good 7-8 year stretch it was pretty rare to see the Raps outworked and outhustled. It happened...

[slaw]

My comment wasn't that one was better than the other just more about the tendency of sports teams, which is that when they fire a coach they often (not...

[slaw]

I will stick with my assertion that they’ve already decided and the guy is still coaching in the finals (or Europe)....

[slaw]

I continue to believe the simplest explanation is that the person they've decided on is still coaching in the playoffs....

2019 Philly, GSW and the Bucks were all better teams than the 2023 Heat. I would put the Nuggets on par with the Sixers team that the Raps beat in 7....

Why would you think MLSE is ‘rolling in money’? You should talk to the people there about all the cuts the last few years. I also wouldn’t assume...

Fred landing in Philly would be hilarious. I actually think him and Maxey would be a good backcourt with Embiid. Maxey could move up to be the primary...

[slaw]

My basic take has been that after they won the title everyone started looking out for themselves. It's really that simple. Happens all the time in organizations...

[slaw]

Nurse will handle Embiid like he handled Kawhi. Same with Harden if he is back....

[slaw]

No. That's what garbage organizations like the Miami Marlins do....

[slaw]

Eric Spoelstra didn't win the series. Jimmy Butler didn't win the series. The Heat won the series. The Heat won with a combination of performances from...

[slaw]

Does anyone remember the talk last time he was a free agent? Wasn't there was some smoke around him going to the Bulls(?) and having some other teams...

[slaw]

Not sure about Nurse getting paid regardless if signing with another team - I think it depends on the contract. I know of a NHL coach who got fired and...

[slaw]

I’d be surprised if Bud landed in Toronto. If he wanted to be there and the Raps wanted him that badly they would have hired him 5 years ago....

[slaw]

You are both making presumptions that you cannot possibly know to be true. For example, MLSE certainly does give a shit about the salaries of its employees....

[slaw]

No. That looks like you're hiring her cause she's a woman and not cause she's the best coach for the job. Whatever team hires her needs to treat it in...

[slaw]

The Hammon situation is a tricky one cause it needs to be the right job. There are interests other than her economic ones at play - this isn't just another...
