I’d take Mike Budenholzer. At least I liked him in Atlanta and starting in Milwaukee. Funny that’s he’s like the exact opposite of Ty. Great regular season coach, but doesn’t make any adjustments in the playoffs.

Hell give Natalie Nakase a shot. Back to back WNBA championships. Familiar with the team.

Most importantly, let Bob Myers take a few months/maybe the whole year off, but get him back in the front office in LA as soon as possible.

Norm playing in the 4th was just baffling to me. He wasn’t scoring all game, and yet to close in the 4th you have one of your worst defenders, another small guard, mostly to close? I might understand if he was just so red hot you have no choice but to bench your starter in Mann, but just didn’t make sense in this one.

Finally when they needed a stop, I saw Mann in the game, and thought at least Ty isn’t stupid crazy, then I saw he pulled Zu, and kept in Norm, wtf. Sengun just went at Kawhi and picked up the foul to tie the game. Wtf was he thinking?

This is a big worry to me moving forward. I would definitely rather see Kobe Brown playing PJ’s minutes, but his veteran reputation, and I guess vocal desire to play is going to keep him in the rotation. Frank needs to find a way to at least use his salary to make a move. Problem is he’s not expiring, so might be a negative trade asset at this point. Wish they could find a way to find just one decent rotation PF, even if it’s just to play with the bench. Gordon Hayward, Gallo, Olynyk. Obviously could target higher end players, but I’m not really sure they have the assets to get like a Kuzma, Tobias, Harrison Barnes, Jerami Grant. Really wish Philly left us even with like KJ or RoCo.

Definitely give Russ a lot of credit for making that change so quickly. Ty would give Russ the starting job until at LEAST January before he made a move. Always felt that Russ and Harden were the biggest log jam. While very different players, clearly both need the ball in their hands way more than even Kawhi and PG. Russ or Harden playing off ball is just completely minimizing their strengths. Sure it could “work”, but you’re essentially turning them into a mediocre role player off ball rather than the star they can be with the ball in their hands.

Oh, I don’t mind Theis contesting the shot, nor was it a shot at him, it’s just that it stood out in a bad way lol

Deadmon is another guy who can rebound & actually stretch the floor. I remember him being solid defending the paint but don’t take my word for it, it’s been a while. Regardless, it’s good that they have another guy in the “system” now.

I really believe zu’s days are numbered once Mase comes back so he’s gonna have to make huge strides cuz the team has better options & they could use an upgrade at both the 4 & 5. Between Mann, Norm, Bones, Amir, bbjr, zu & the ’30th 1st rounder, I hope they can put something together. This team has about 2 months

Norm’s real value is being plugged into that 3d scorer if one of the big 3 has to sit

Locker room presence? Grit? Hs sneaker collection? Some other non-basketball related value?

I understand the rationale but PG13 is…not a good passer. Dude has so many unnecessary TOs even on routine plays.

Is there any validity to valuing PG over the rooks?
