Wrong thread.

I agree that it seems unlikely. I didn't click the article, but does it say who would be part of this super team? There's no huge FAs this year, unless you consider Horford and Howard possibly part of a big 3 (I don't). He could go to Boston and have at least an easier trip to the conference finals, but this OKC team is the best he can get right now.

This David Blatt news has gone by so quietly. Considering how much he was discussed when coaching and how big his firing was, I find it a little odd how few peoe are talking about him leaving the NBA.

Blatt was in a tough spot in Cleveland... Thought he'd be back with a lesser team to try and find his way outside of the spotlight... Kinda suprised to see him headed back overseas so soon.

Do these international deals for coaches typically have NBA opt outs like some of the players?

I think some do. It's actually been noted that Blatt's deal does not have an NBA opt out though.

Yeah I think Noel is worth more than a year of Teague. That would be an odd one for 76ers.

This is Colangelo in a nut shell. The state he left the Raptors in should be a warning for any team hiring him as GM. Alas Philly fell for the trap.

Trading a prime trade asset for an average starting PG in the league? Especially who's contract is nearing an end? Stupidity.

That's weird. You'd think he'd wanna leave the door open considering all the NBA vacancies annually.

Average indeed. I should've said Noel is worth more than Teague straight up. I wouldn't make that trade even if Teague had term left.

Yeah, I dunno. He does seem to have a "I don't need to prove myself in the NBA" attitude. Can see him just being happy in Europe, staying there.

If the 2016 Caps had the best record ever and won the Stanley Cup, they would be the greatest NHL team ever. If I brought that argument to the History of Hockey forum, I'd be rightfully off the board.

 

[Virtanen18]

I don't think so. For them to finish with the best record ever in this day and age would be an incredible feat, and capping it off with a Cup would easily put them in the discussion.

Hockey is a completely different beast from basketball, you just can't compare them.

 

[sparxx87]

Anytime you break the best regular season record you should be in the discussion. I'm not old enough to give an informed ranking, but those who are seem to have them 3-5.

I appreciate the fact that they have a few different guys who can take the lead every night.. Most of the other great teams had one or two guys holding the keys and everyone else was just support.

Never Mind

The Bulls were a way better team. Put them out there now and make them beat the record it will be done

But idk why people complain. Enjoy probably the greatest team you will see until about 10 years
