0 interest in Chauncey. Maybe negative 5 interest actually.

Chauncey, however highly regarded, seems like a bit of a risk. Where we are currently, we really could use a sure thing. Or at least more of a sure thing.

Porter Jr is and will be nothing like Durant.

Pretty much all of Billups’ player comparisons sucked.

Again, I’ve found that a LOT of his takes were brutal.

Whoever it ends up being, they should have impactful input with the next coach and a plan with Wiggins. One that includes moving Wigs to the bench or via trade If they can’t find his on switch. Basically a 🦄 for this organization...

3 years ago today many of us were excited we hired Tom Thibodeau.

Happy Easter everyone, I'm crying now.

I feel bad for your parents...........no I don't they did a shitty job of teaching you. I hope your high school is not still standing. That they could not teach you how to compare and contrast is heartbreaking.........for everyone who has to be around you. I would compare you to a monkey but you would not understand the comp and a monkey could pick up a banana and a rock and compare them and decide to eat the banana. You of course would have a 50/50 chance of sucking a rock.

Things are not incoherent if they are only incoherent to you. That just makes you dim witted.

Do they play SF and can play PF? In Basketball? NBA basketball? So...............what a crime to compare them? Please stay out of the draft thread. No one needs to see nonsensical "you can't compare him" ramblings. Enjoy your day emailing every draft site and demanding they stop comparing players...................to players! Who in their right mind would compare ..............A PLAYER!.....................TO A PLAYER! LUDICROUS!

What fucking schools did you all drop out of?

Being a homer I hope Billups gets the job. No other basis.

Do think he gets some negative steam that it wont work just because he is a country club member.

Michael Winger will not be the POBO. He is staying with the LA Clippers per Jon Krawczynski.

Winger and Rosas intrigued me because they were working with franchises that have done a great job with their build.

Billups is on TV and played here. None of that is valuable experience. Even his TV takes are atrocious.

Booth isn't a half bad option. He stepped on my foot once at Chipotle, but I forgave him.

I'm not exactly intrigued by this Winger guy. He gets compliments for trading the teams best player 3 different times and still making the playoffs. But if he didn't make those trades the Clippers might be a 2 or 3 seed instead of an 8 seed. :shrug:

If they didnt make those trades they either lose those players to free agency or they're in roughly the same place with broken down, aging, expensive players and no room to improve. They've managed to stay a playoff team and are going into a rather big summer with the 2nd most available cap space and Patrick Beverley as the closest thing to an important player to re-sign. They could potentially add two max free agents.

They won't have their pick this year, but will have an extra pick in the next two years which lines up well if they can sign a couple big name guys this year.

I think if I am Winger, I stick around so I can sign Leonard and another max free agent this year, and have some fun. No chance I would migrate to this franchise. I wonder if some of these people get nauseous when they show up in rumors for Minnesota gigs.

I’ve been very interested in Hinkie from the start but there has never been any traction with his name, and with Doogie reporting that Glen doesn’t want to pay more than 1 million to 1.5 million for the new POBO, I doubt we ever hear his name mentioned. I’m still very much on board with Gersson Rosas. Hopefully he actually interviews and doesn’t pull out.

I apologized for undercutting him, and got called for a Flagrant 1.

Guess none of these names mean a damn thing to me right now. We will see when we get further into it if any details come out as far as their visions for the team.

As far as coaching.....I want to see Saunders get his shot with a healthy roster and a bunch of time to prep and implement his plan for the team. Another coach causes another upheaval and another excuse driven wasted season.....fuck that I have had enough of them.

I need a little consistency after last year, I am expecting the playoffs next season. More turnover only lowers that bar for me.

If good candidates are dropping out because they can’t hire or fire whom they want, then it’s absolutely a mistake. We don’t know that for sure yet though.

Well, I think we all can agree that whatever decision is eventually made it will be the wrong one...that's how this franchise rolls. :pissed:
