    Only 3 nba coaches have 9 years tenure, they all have titles. I’d say they are held to much higher standards.

    The NBA isn’t the NFL. The players are in charge. Teams like the Pelicans are little more than glorified farm clubs. Unless you’re willing to pay that hefty luxury tax you’ve got very limited opportunities to field an elite team. Today you need 3 superstars and a solid supporting cast.

    The Thunder got very lucky in their draft several years back. San Antonio seems to find players every year. You’ve got the Lakers, Celtics and a few rotating big market teams. For the rest it’s just a different deal, get a lottery pick develope him, trade him before ya lose him.

    They can win, and win big, but they have to draft really well and have good coaching. They have been missing the draft really well part for a while now.

    Tatum will not be included in the trade talks. They have taken him off the table.

    So that just leaves Gordon Heyward, plus draft picks.

    Absolutely NO thank you. Hayward is overrated and while I could think of worse players to have on my team, he is not someone to give up your franchise for. I would take Jaylen Brown, Kyrie and a pick though..

    Word out of Boston is that Tatum and Irving won't be part of any trade.

    Gordon Heyward and 2 unprotected 1st round picks plus the Celtics 1st round pick is a good deal.
