    100% the route I hope they go. Problem is, why would Monty want a buyout? Just to save a little face? Everyone will know it's actually a firing anyway and he can get the same result with 30M more dollars in his pocket. I see no reason why he would do that. I have to hope that Langdon (and Gores) have the guts to just fire the clown.

    This. We're talking about hundreds of athletes that he represented. You can't throw a stone in the NBA without finding someone he's connected to. Most organizations would love to have a guy like that behind the scenes with all of the relationships he has around the league. Unfortunately, our franchise has been run into the ground so we're pointing fingers anywhere. It could be that Tellem is a problem, but then again most of the bad moves could be Gores pulling rank or Weaver doing his thing or a combination of all three. We'll never really know.

    Both things are true. It's a bad roster and Monty was a horrendous coach. It's not just the fans calling this out, it got plenty of national media attention from respected guys like Sam Vecenie, Brian Windhorst, and more. Towards the end of the year, even the beat writers, who are notoriously adverse to making waves, started calling him out. His in-game coaching lost this team at least a half dozen games, his roster management was abysmal, player development actually impeded guys, and he straight up lied to the media over and over again about his intentions. He coached like a guy trying to get fired and everyone, not just Piston fans, saw it and called it out. imo, It's even more important to fire Monty than Weaver since Weaver now has a babysitter holding his puppet strings and making the final decisions. But if Monty is not fired, then I will have zero faith in Langdon from the start.

    Another team that will start and finish their coaching search before we even have a PoBo to come in and fire Monty.

    I'd love to bring KCP back. Perfect guy for this organization. They need a vet who's won at the highest level, plays defense, and can shoot the three. As a bonus, I still have his jersey since he was the only player on the team I actually really liked during that era. If I'm hunting a second star I'd rather that person be a wing/forward than another guard. Most successful teams have their big 2 players at different positions so they can run 2-man action that creates mismatches. You can't do that with Cade and Monk, it would just be your turn then my turn like Cade and Ivey. I've been out on Monk from the start. Plus, KCP will be about half the cost and actually plays defense. Side note, I wouldn't mind taking a long look at Gary Trent Jr, Bruce Brown, Isaac Okoro, Obi Toppin (RFA), Kelly Oubre, Caleb Martin, and Derrick Jones Jr in addition to everyone's favorites Claxton and Hartenstein. A lot of talk about this being a weak free agent class - and that's true in terms of stars - but there are some really solid role players out there that could help this team.

    Imagine knowing you were going to need to clean house since around January (or sooner) and doing nothing about it until after the season, when you then decide to start the process by trying to find a firm to go collect candidates for you. Then you release a presser that says you're going to "move fast" to hire a PoBo. Now it's the end of May, the draft combine has already happened, coaches have already been hired, and this new guy is going to walk in cold on June 15th or whenever you finally make the hire. Oh, and it'll be his job to assess the current staff. fire everyone for you because you didn't have the balls, and then start finding replacements all while managing a draft he just walked into, learning a new organization, and navigating free agency. Way to set the new guy up to fail from day 1. This organization is a joke and will be until they get a competent owner.

    Great game! Both Game 1's have been excellent, though I wish Indy could've pulled theirs out as well.
  8. Betrayer
    More reason to just give Cade the extension now.

    Overpaying Monk feels a lot like a Ben Gordon move. Which means Scott Perry is your guy for anyone who wants that to happen. Let's not forget that Hammond left the year before and then Perry became Joe's right hand man and VP of Basketball Ops. HIs first offseason in that role was the Gordon + Charlie V signing.

    Painful ending to that Pacers/Celtics game. Indy had it wrapped up and then two completely boneheaded turnovers destroyed them. Carlisle also doesn't like to foul when he's up by 3, so they gave Boston a chance and Brown hit a prayer in the corner. You just knew it was over for Indy when they went to OT. They had their chance and lost it.

    From the start of that series I felt the team that came out would be the NBA champs. Dallas gets 1 game, maybe 2. Now that Connelly is off the table can we get on with this PoBo thing?
  12. Betrayer
    Pacers move on. On one end they shoot an insane percentage and on the other they pick up full court on defense. The way they move the ball and play for each other is fun to watch. I'd love to have a coach like Carlisle (again).

    If it can speed up the end of games in the NBA, I'd be for it. But why would the NBA do it? There's less ad venue if you have less commercial timeouts.
  14. Betrayer
    Wizards, sure. Hawks aren't taking him over Sarr. Rockets have Sengun and need a PG, so I don't see that happening.
  15. Betrayer
    He'd love that. 15 assist night incoming. Did anyone see Draymond's comments on TNT after the game? Sure, everyone is talking about how Jokic used Gobert, but Draymond took it to cheap shot levels. To be expected from Dray I guess since he loves cheap shots in every form.

    These days it just seems like every "report" is linked back to some other article (referred to as a "source") where someone else is just speculating on possibilities.
  17. Betrayer
    That's funny, because I'd rather trade Garland. Neither can play defense, but at least Mitchell can put the team on his back for a win or two. I guess nobody would want Garland's contract and that makes Mitchell easier to move with just one year (and a player option) left on his deal.

    Game. Set. Match.

    Joker is ridiculous right now (3rd quarter). Making Gobert eat that DPOY.
  20. Betrayer
    I'd be ok with moving down and taking him.
  21. Betrayer
    Not as your primary PG, but he can be the secondary handler and also be the lead guard when your main guy goes to the bench. At least, that's what I'm hearing/reading from the scouting reports. Of course, he'd have to guard the other team's PG on the other end due to his (lack of) size.

    This entire lottery is filled with dudes who could be busts. Who knows.

    Giddy has been pretty bad in the playoffs. I was never a huge fan of him to start with though. Kinda felt like a slightly better version of Killian.

    As Del said, his shooting percentage on high volume is nuts. A lot of those were taken from NBA range and he does it off the dribble, catch and shoot, and movement. He shot 60% at the rim even at his height and 50% on pull up 2s as well. The dude had a 70% TS! That’s nuts also. Also a solid passer and pick and roll player. All the tools to play next to Cade as a secondary scorer and creator and then run the offense against bench units when Cade rests. Probably not the primary guy, but good enough to run the second unit. His defensive instincts are pretty awesome as well. It’s not just the steals, he also averaged nearly a block a game. Really good hands on defense and nose for the ball. He’s going to get exploited on switches for sure though due to his size. Maybe comp him to TJ McConnell (short, pesky defender with all around skills) with Klay’s shooting game if he reaches his ceiling. Unfortunately, I doubt he makes it past Houston who needs this exact player.

    Givoni reporting that Topic is ok. Just a sprained knee. That could be good for the Pistons of a team SAN wants him ahead of our pick.
