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

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

While true they other two targets also can't stay healthy. PG stays hurt and Jimmy didn't even finish the season.

We’ve seen those guys reach their potential though and even exceed it based on their draft status.

With someone like Ingram, it’s still based on hope and potential which we’ve already seen him get surpassed by other players.

Welcome to Philly PG. The real bball Paul.

Good riddance.

I trust PG

Thats a mistake.

From playoff darling to them not giving you an extension in two years

Hollinger saying Billiups, Green and Jenkins on the hot seat

Jenkins comes off a 27-win season that was plagued by myriad injuries. He’s mostly had success in Memphis, including finishing second in the 2022 Coach of the Year vote, but the Grizzlies have hit some turbulence since then. More notably, Memphis also fired the majority of his assistant coaches just before the combine; that’s always a tell the head coach isn’t a great spot.

Green won 49 games in New Orleans, but enters his fourth season facing increasing scrutiny about his offense and player usage, especially the revolving door at the center position. A recent contract extension likely makes it untenable to move on from him this summer, but a slow start next year could be a different story.

And finally, Billups has one year left on his deal with a GM who didn’t hire him, and, as with Jenkins, the Blazers fired multiple assistants of his … including his brother. He also seemed to be angling for the Phoenix job that went to Mike Budenholzer. Right now, Portland’s situation feels like a staredown reminiscent of the Damian Lillard saga, with neither side wanting to make the first move. But nobody I talked to thinks Billups will still be coaching the Blazers 12 months from now.

Why the fukk would Jenkins be on the hot seat? Same goes for Brown not getting an extension. There's a stunning amount of ineptitude in professional sports.

jenkins always had friction which is weird to me

mike brown is 100% shyt where black coaches have to overachieve with injured rosters *and* win the the way ownership romanticizes.

Nah, that's just Ranadive being a fukking moron, meddling owner. He fired Mike Malone because Cousins got hurt after a 9-6 start and the team SHOCKINGLY struggled afterwards

This is still the same owner that fired Mike Malone after they went on a losing streak while Boogie was hurt

Mike Brown maxed out that roster. The GM needs to make some moves. He stood pat and ran it back while the rest of the West made moves to get better and they regressed. They need to be one of the more aggressive teams this summer

Yeah, I know. Their offseason last year was a joke. That was the time they coulda made a move. Now, I don't know what they can do to make a significant improvement.

Monk is gonna be due a major raise this summer too.

Depends on what Monk’s market is

They don’t have his full bird rights and don’t have cap flexibility due to the new deals they gave out to Barnes & Sabonis. Max they can offer is 4 years $78 mil

I definitely see him getting that much in free agency. One of these cap space teams could go crazy and wildly overpay him for a couple years though I tend to think he wants some stability at this point in his career.

Butler and PG13 will be Philly's first targets. I trust PG's scoring skillset fitting with that team better at this point in their careers tho.

He seems like an easier fit on both sides of the ball.

OG would be a better choice that PG, They have Maxey/Embiid to score the basket, they need a solid players like OG surrounding them. Maxing out part time Butler will be a Mistake at this stage in his career.

I disagree. PG13 as 3rd and part time 2nd option is much better offensively than OG.
