All he wants to do is make the playoffs and be relevant. Russell can at least do that. We just won’t do anything once we’re in the playoffs. After watching the last 2 years I am convinced you cannot win in the postseason if Westbrook is on your team. High volume, low efficiency. Hes like a supercharged Jordan Clarkson.

But I think Gilbert would gladly lose in the playoffs if it means getting into the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I think you can win a title with Harden as your best player. I don’t know how you win with Westbrook on your roster with how much he gets paid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownsDog23 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 On 9/6/2020 at 11:06 PM, candyman93 said: Let’s play a game: Try to build a starting 5 that can win a title with Russell Westbrook as your starting PG and you must factor in the salary cap + his contract. He makes 38 mil. You also can’t use any rookie contracts, so no Luka. It’s not possible. Westbrook 38 mil Garry Harris 20 mil Robert Covington 11 Mil PJ Tucker 8 mil Anthony Davis 27 mil I feel like AD being one of the rare superstar players that thrive playing off the ball would pair very well with Westbrook and those 2 would be a nightmare for opposing teams in transition. Harris, Covington, and Tucker all defend well and can hit the 3 ball. Depending on how well I could fill out the rest of the rotation, I could definitely see this team giving a team like the Clippers a tough series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I’ll be honest, I used to not like James Harden. However, his game has grown on me. I’ve learned to respect him more. He’s high volume, but he doesn’t take stupid shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean adding in one of them isn't unrealistic as Rus could be traded to a team that has one of them, but no team has multiple rookies of that caliber. Closest is Atlanta.

sdrawkcab321 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Coach bud being playoff trash is nothing new. We seen his terrible adjustments when he was in Atlanta. But I’d still love to have him as our coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need to hire THE guy right now, we need to hire someone who can maximize the growth and development of our young players so that we know who the core is going forward.

Isnt that the reason we hired Bickerstaff because of the system and work developing young guy in MEM? I will say the Cavs played much better when that coaching change was made last season Edited September 9, 2020 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 I honestly think coaching is hugely overrated. Either you have the talent or you don’t. *don’t go full moron on this, I’m not saying coaching is irrelevant* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdrawkcab321 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Marcus smart must be such a frustrating player to have. Great heart good defense good leader but that long 2 at the end when he had kemba and Jaylen wide open is unacceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
