It depends per org. If you remember in Denver Nuggets their old GM didnt have ability to fire Mike Malone and they kept feuding till the owner fired them both.
To be fair, lots of teams would've immediately paid Udoka if the Rockets didnt. He may not be a championship level coach but he's like Dillon Brooks. Culture changer and floor raiser.
I’ll do my time in Siberia for Reed Sheppard. Just allow me to have a wallet size photo of him I can keep in my pocket while I shovel ****.
Maybe u need to lower expectations, dude... No, we're not the favorites to win it all - but we're prob in the half dozen that got a shot... We've seen about everybody get hot at diff times... If we could put together some consistency, then we'd have a real shot.... If we got triple double Alpi... If Bari and Reed contribute... If KD is dishing assists and not turnovers...
In the West the third seed is less than 5 games out of the play in Mediocrity is having a decent chance of losing in the first round….like this team does thanks to the lack of shooting and poor roster construction. Mediocrity is your GM saying “it just isn’t our year” after the trade deadline. We all know it’s true, just accept it.
They way his shooting and handles are right now, it will hold him back from even being a starter in any serious title contender. Can't play 4 on 5 for 35+ minutes in a playoff game. Reed with all his shortcomings defensively should start over him and play more minutes overall, the way our offense looks better w/ him on the floor over Amen is no joke.
A rich man’s Jordan Clarkson (Green) Jabari (decent but not a star) Amen (a poor man’s Ben Simmons ) Reed (A guy Stone claims to believe in but allows Ime to bury on the bench). Stone did do a great job of finding Sengun outside the lottery though
