RIPPA Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 Ham basically fired David Fizdale, Mike Penberty and John Lucas III as assistant coaches. Phil Handy and Quinton Crawford are staying on the staff. Interesting little shade thrown at the coaches not staying by Ham "I like coaches that like to roll up their sleeves and are able to get out there"
Dolfan in NYC Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 To be fair, Ham's entire coaching career has basically been a version of this video:
RIPPA Posted June 7, 2022 Posted June 7, 2022 And in another LA related firing Derek Fisher was canned as HC of the LA Spark

elizium Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 I don't understand the love for those terrible Raptors jerseys. Nostalgia sure, but it's not like the team was even good those years 1
Brian Fowler Posted June 9, 2022 Author Posted June 9, 2022 Oh boy, the horrible teal jerseys from the post-Bad Boys/pre-Goin' To Work era. Yay? 1
Jiji Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 I like those pistons jerseys but prefer the red. Not sure why it's Wallace and not Hill on the pic. The Suns jerseys are great but a lot of those are either ugly or boring.

I *think* they did still have those uniforms Ben's first year in Detroit. 1
Lawful Metal Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Rockets better bring back the Ketchup and Mustard … permanently
Lawful Metal Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 Also what’s up with this draft? All year it was 1 Chet 2 Paolo 3 Jabari and now it’s Jabari Chet Paolo and I have no idea what changed

That and the Rockets dropping the classic red-and-gold right after winning 2 titles are definitely the worst of the NBA's many bizarre logo/color changes in 90's...

IIRC, the Rockets were already committed to the complete redesign before they won the 94 title, and then they tried to get out of it after the win, but the NBA didn't allow it because marketing has already started or something like that. You know what late nineties jerseys were actually awesome and should come back? Chicago's black with red pinstripes look. I think they only wore them for two years before replacing them with the more normal black jerseys. 4

Hail Sabin Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 True, but I think his track record is pretty good with his college record & I remember when Cuban thought Nash was washed then he won 2 MVPs when he could have still been with Dirk.

True. I just think there's a very good chance Brunson just had the best stretch he'll have in his entire career.
RandomAct Posted June 16, 2022 Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) I do think Brunson has peaked, but I remain confident that this peak will go for a few more seasons. Your mileage may vary as to whether his current output is worth $18mil, though. Unless a much bigger fish like Lavine is coming along, I think you have to pay him. To me he's a $15mil guy, but I have few doubts that Cuban pays him close to what he wants. Also, I'd be stunned if one of Bertans, Dinwiddie or Hardaway aren't traded before the season starts.
