Bouncing idea's 🏀: 2024 NBA Off-Season: Key Decisions and Developments

[42 Monks]

His constant failure to adjust. Refusal to play or even utilize the bench until injuries happened to the top guys. Not properly utilizing Evan Mobley even though the team, assistant coaches and the front office got on his ass about it. Lack of an offense. George Niang playing over guys like Wade & CPJr. The Cavs are a talented team especially with Mitchell playing Superman most nights. So I’m not sure where you get that the Cavs ‘overachieved’ when in the opinion of majority of Cavs fans is that we underachieved. Bickerstaff is a good dude and he’ll help the Pistons develop a culture and make some of their guys better defensively but that’s where it will end.

People keep saying he lead us to the playoffs when it was actually Mitchell being all nba, Garland stepping up before getting his jaw broke, Allen/Mobley & Okoro anchoring the defense with Strus having an impact while on the floor.

Edit: ‍ kickin in

wait what did yal actually expect out of this year - with everyone healthy then?

I have a hard enough time believing he’d leave California for Philly or Orlando. Definitely ain’t doing it for Utah.

The way he loves fishing. He just might. Besides he don't like black women so he good.

What if your woman is short, but her mother's side is full of dudes that are 6'6?

That’s when you pull out the Punnett square and let the analytics take over

JB did a great job for the cavs in his time there and then they decided they wanted a different direction, regardless of whatever success or momentum he created. that's really not 'part of the problem' but aite lol

maybe there's narrative going on that i missed, but i really can't get the need to creatively slander black coaches for not winning the right way

the years do not benefit the bulls because they've invested long-term equity in a guy who's literally stagnated since his first offseason. he has no incentive to play for his next contract, no urgency to protect his position, and the bulls have no way to convince anyone else to take on long-term contracts except through attaching picks that they never stockpiled - hampering their own trade flexibility going forward

"if he breaks out" can't be the only convenient math man

the years do benefit the Bulls. he’s likely worth that amount today, if he progresses even slightly it’s suddenly a good deal locked in for 5 years while the cap will skyrocket. I’m the biggest Bulls / Pat Will hater you will find, but this deal turned out OK imo

 

[UpAndComing]

The Bulls are perfectly content being mediocre as long as they continue having the #1 attendance in the league

Facts. Alot of people don't understand how majority of sports owners don't give two shyts about winning games. Same with the Wizards owner. You own a team in a major international city that still has decent attendance, with rising TV deals, it's easy printing of money for them. LOL @ them caring about a Win/Loss record

If philly can pull this off

 

[UpAndComing]

if yal are the experts, then explaining why jb was part of the problem for a team that overachieved shouldn't be this hard fr. like what the fukk did he do? is he the reason garland went braindead this year or something?

what more was he, or anyone, supposed to do with this year's cavs team. and since he took over, who was taking them further without personnel control?

duh lmao

His biggest crime IMO was his horrible influence on the Cavs' offense

He literally did not utilize Evan Mobley to his strengths at all. Made him into a rim running big who just set screens and got rebounds. It took Jared Allen's injury for JB Bickerstaff to luck up and give him a bigger role. All the games that the Cavs won in the playoffs or were really competitive was because of Mobley having more touches in the post, being a stretch big actually shooting jumpers, being very switchable on defense at the perimeter, etc etc

And his offense with the guard/wing play was basically ISO and jack up 3 pointers coming off screens

His influence on creating a defensive identity was pretty good though

If philly can pull this off

If Sixers can get KCP and Paul George on the roster >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anything the Knicks have done this offseason, and it won't be close
