I’m wondering if LeBron will go to whatever team hires Redick as coach. Would help explain the Lakers’ focused interest. Unfortunate for the Knicks that they can’t justify firing Thibs after this playoff run - LeBron would be interesting in NY and it’s probably a place he’d be open to going to.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

This seems legitimate now. Duke would have a viable option available if Scheyer can't hack it. There was none, and now there might be one.

I feel like Lue would be the guy over JJ.

Would LOVE to see JJ in LA with Bron. Mind The Gap has been such a good podcast (tbf I still think LeBron views himself as way more of an intellect than he actually is, outside of pure basketball knowledge anyway).

What a HORRENDOUS showing by the Magic since the first qtr. feel bad for Paolo and Wendell.

Steward admits he regrets leaving after 2021. I’m still not sure if his return would’ve swung a title in ‘22 but having one more shooter may have been helpful.

He probably would have been in place of Keels. Keels was stronger defensively, but considering we ended up with the 49th defense and got to the Final Four on the back of our offense, I'm not sure how much that matters. Probably better off with another shooter, especially considering how poorly we shot against UNC.

Definitely one of the more mind boggling decisions by him. Guess NIL wasn't a thing then, so whatever.

He’s not wrong.

 

[dukeboy911]

As much as I want to see Zion prove everyone wrong and win in NO, it's probably just not gonna happen. Time to rip the band-aid off and start somewhere fresh.

Being compared to the best player on a title team is high praise for McCain.

 

[dukeboy911]

Feel like White is bouncier than Jared, but not a horrible comp.

 

[LastHearth]

I don't think it's a good comp at all, White is taller, longer, skinnier and bouncier, and a much better athlete in terms of quickness and hops.
I think Brunson is the better comp for McCain, although I'm not sure McCain will ever have Brunson's level of basketball IQ.

 

[rome8180]

That's a terrible comp. White started his NBA career as a really good defender who couldn't shoot. McCain is the opposite of that.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Imagine how much better they would all be at shooting if they fixed their shot.
