Sounds like we'll be trading our first for some 2nd rounders. BudCox ftw! Front office is gonna be like:

If we had... We'd have a wing? Lol

Maintaining the status quo would also be stupid. Either way, it's gonna look stupid to someone whichever way they go. I still say drop a cherry bomb into this average toilet. Maybe we'll end up with a fancy bidet!

True, but we already know what doesn't work. Our core.

That's always been my thing with Bud. He's too stubborn to make adjustments in general. He DEFINITELY didn't learn that from Pop.

Blow it up.

People complained about that? Seriously?

Tito?

"Horf will be better at PF" is still a thing? His advantages are minimal at PF.

It seems like shooting %s seem to get an insanse boost whenever a team plays the Hawks. It's been going on for a good while now. Bizarre.

There's been talk of the Bulls thinking of trading him. Nothing that really involves the Hawks though.

I feel like with this team's management, unlikely fits mosts things. :(

I'm just gonna say it. The unpopular option: Blow it up. If Bud is such a good development guy and coach, it shouldn't matter what the team looks like. I don't see the team as constructed, getting the things that put us over the top by continuing the WLOC and getting 2nd Rd agreeable talent to try to patch the holes on this ship. We aren't Spurs East, we're Spurs Least. Yes, the lotto years were awful. I haven't forgotten. However, how is just making the playoffs really that much better? Financially, sure but getting destroyed isn't going to maintain the playoff money. Someone's got to assume responsibility of the product. Someone's got to be disappointed and say enough is enough. It's been half a century.

Didn't you know that@JayBirdHawk taught Ivan everything he knows? When he got banned from China, she cried like a proud mother.

Also on both the Spurs and Warriors, each player plays specific roles catered to their strengths. For us it seems like Bud just tells everyone to throw it up from 25 and pray.

Superior talent.

Nah, we're legit contenders according to the FO. Why change such a good thing? This roster has the potential of a 90s Bulls era dynasty. /endsarcasm

I think there's a good argument on Bud vs Stevens. What he [Stevens] was able to do with less was pretty outstanding. Bud is a bit too stubborn at times to change the game plan. Which brings me to this: OP said that KD is a fan of Pop but thing is, Bud isnt anywhere near Pop as an overall coach. One day? Maybe but he's gonna have to be more flexible and adapt based on the roster and/or gameplan by game, half or quarter. And since Bud isnt Pop... Idk if KD would come. I feel like he'd go to one of the legacy teams if he actually left.

And Korver isn't even all that great himself these days.

My guess is that he means that his game is more like that of a small forward. Outside of the handle anyways.

AL...elite? Bless your heart. I'd certainly be nice to have KD. With a perimeter threat, the offense works best. He also wouldn't have to be paired with a Westbrook and I like Westbrook as a player. But both of them on the same team just makes late game possible win situations complicated.

IMO, This offseason will be another WLoC. No matter what happens in the playoffs. If there are any changes they'll probably be miniscule. Plus is not like we have an actual GM or anything. Wilcox is a bum. :(

From what I've heard Maker is a Giannis type player. Why wouldn't we want that if that's the case?

All we have to do is kidnap him and make him sign. Get it done, BudCox!

Not going to dig but he's said positive things in some of the past game threads. Obviously not this last one though.
