šŸ€ Hoos in the NBA 2024-25

Knicks considering Dawn Staley and the knicks Reddit looking very similar to LRA a few months ago on the arguments for and against.

I’m surprised Jenny Boucek isn’t a bigger option. Actually has coached in the NBA and on some pretty successful staffs.

Think either this off-season or in like the next 3 years Carlisle retires and endorses Jenny for the Pacers Job

Would Jenny be considered the lead assistant for the Pacers? Is that even a thing in the NBA?

Zach Lowe name-dropped the Clippers on his pod for Jerome. He wasn’t reporting it, but was saying they made sense (and have the non taxpayer MLE available).

Hawks kinda make sense too, actually.

Gill is soon to be freed from the Wizards. Hope a contender realizes the intangibles he can bring and gives him a chance to play for a winner.

Maybe better chance to become a front office assistant?

Hmm. 3rd guard/backup PG is not exactly a place where you typically need a plus defender. But I guess Cleveland starts two below average l defensive guards, so maybe they feel like they need access to lineups combos with better perimeter defense.

Yeah that was my thought. More on personnel. Their main issue is that Garland and Mitchell are subpar defenders. Strus and Dre are probably average.

Also in other news, Gill waived by Wiz. He was a fan favorite. Wiz subreddit has a lot of tribute posts.

Wash Post reporter also active there and asked Gil if he’d want to coach - said not the right time in his life.

Sort of doubtful that he lands another NBA contract but we’ll see! Got to hurt to lose that $2.5M.

Could see the wiz picking him back up. The guarantee deadline was yesterday so they had to decide to waive him or his contract became guaranteed. Let’s see where the dust settles towards the end of FA

Ty helped Cleveland to a lot of regular season wins this past season. I can see some team wanting him to help get them to the playoffs, then, if they’re worried about his defense later, trading him for defense. Of course, I don’t know what the final trading deadline is so that would factor into the logic of such a move.

It looks like Houston is targeting Dorian Finney-Smith with the NTMLE so they may be out for Jerome.

Also lol at LeBron’s latest statement.

Can’t see any franchise willing to trade for him just to destroy another team’s long term prospects and hand over GM responsibilities.

Vecenie thinks only even potential teams that could make a trade work would be Golden State or Dallas (hilarious).

Yeah I’m skeptical about this. Seems that all indications are that they want Ty back but simply aren’t enthusiastic they can, and that’s why they pivoted.
