Hiring JV = Terrible Move Signing Frye = Terrible move Nicholson = Bad move. Took him over Fournier and a few others (I know, hindsight but I never thought drew translated well to small/slow) I'm still fine with Rob and think he's done far more good than bad but he's made a couple questionable calls but hes only human. If he sticks with Vaughn though he's going to be jobless soon as well.

Finally got caught up. Every time I hear Steele say "swaggy P" I cringe badly.

In a heartbeat.

Wizards want Porter out offer some vets for him. Fry (to much money I'm guessing) or Ben/Nicholson

Welcome to the Bandwagon. The kid can score as good if not better than anyone in the country. He's actually a good passer too, averaging 5 assists per game on a team that has no one else that can score. He's everything we are lacking in a scorer, and at the rate were losing games, he could be a realistic possibility.

At this point, I would be shocked if James leaves but equally as shocked if Love stays.

Most of us wouldn't even know Shumpert's name had he not played for the Knicks. He does nothing on the offensive end and unless he grows 6 inches, idk how he helps what they are lacking on the defensive end. Sure he's a solid perimeter defender, but the Cavs just traded their best trade piece and failed to address their biggest need. And that first round pick is highly protected.

Knicks now have over 30mil to spend in the summer. Great move by them. They will get some big names with that space. I don't like it for the Cavs but they're in panic mode already. Waiters (though a head case) is still young can score the ball. JR Smith is locked down for 3 years and is also a head case. Such a lateral move for the Cavs. They should have used Waiters to get a big.

He isn't. But can't we cover that up better if we had an actual defensive minded PF in front of him? What he brings offensively is special from the center position.

That list was depressing. We are so bad in so many different areas: 29th: Blocks Per Game 28th: Points Per Game 24th: Fast Break Points (wasn't this supposed to be our bread and butter?) 26th: Assists Per Game 28th: Total Rebounds It was nice to see were ranked 14th in defensive PPG. I would think that number goes up when AG returns.

I've said all a long he's an assistant coach. Nothing wrong with that. But he doesn't have it as a head coach. If we removed him as head coach tomorrow, I don't know if he ever gets a head coaching job again. But would get picked up as an assistant.

Do we have an official trade thread/free agent thread anywhere? Or is that part of the in season thread?

Got a new name to throw out here for the Magic, Christian Wood from UNLV. 6'11, 220 pound PF averaging 16 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks per game as a sophomore. Had 24-10 against Arizona a week or so ago and led them to the upset. I've just been watching him during this Kansas Vs. UNLV game and he's well on his way to another double double. Needs to bulk up a little but kind of reminds me of Amir Johnson. Would def be able to block some shots and improve the interior D. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKLm8dyskJo Of course, with the way we are currently playing we may be picking much higher than originally thought. But I have been looking at guys that should be there around 10-15.

That's all fine, but how do we still suck at fast break defense too? I'd rather suck at transition D and grab some offensive rebounds a long the way.

Idc who we bring in or what lineup changes we make, this team will never be maximized with Vaughn running the show. I'm confident in that.

I like Karl. I would be all over that. But whose to say he has any interest at all in Coaching in Orlando? Maybe he wants more of a contender. He's not exactly young at 63.

Yea and after watching Marble for 2 games let's go a head and bring Moe back.

If Doc was our coach we would have 20 wins right now easily.

Just need a defensive minded PF. We have all known that for a while. He's actually one of our most efficient scorers too. I don't agree with that assessment. I honestly think Vuch is the absolute 1 sure thing on this team that we can build around. He will never be Howard on D but we can cover that up with a real PF. I'm beyond thankful we have Vuch locked up for the next 4 years.

Exactly. I thought we were building this defensive minded team, that is the opposite of what we are.

What magic game were you watching? I want to put that one on. Cause this one I'm watching has been over for about an hour.

No, god no. LOL. Al Jefferson. How do we get outrebound by 20 to this team when they don't even have Jefferson? Relieve Vaughn of his "coaching" duties.

If a blowout loss to one of the worst teams in the NBA at home that has lost 5 strait and doesn't even have their best player doesn't put him on the hotseat, nothing will.

Him and Payton give one another a run for their money on missed layups most nights.

The road trip a head should be fun. We have a lot of good momentum heading into it.
