[QUOTE=beasted;15018943]Just read that the 2032 pick is UNPROTECTED. Wow. Nets might be in for a good one.[/QUOTE]
Nuggets could care less about a 1st rounder that's likely beyond the Jokic window, Cam should be a better fit for Denver. Great gamble for the Nets though.

They're talking to Mike Brown. How do you talk to a coach at this point to convince him you want him when you tried to talk to 5 other coaches beforehand and got turned down.

[QUOTE=Xiao Yao You;15018994]Bailey has a modern skillset.
Okafor didnt. Not the same. Hinkie obviously was thinking in the past. Most of those guys didnt have modern skillsets[/QUOTE]
That’s not how BPA works.
Okafor avg 17ppg 7rpg as a rookie. Not bad for a slow footed back to basket, outdated game.

How is that any different than interviewing several candidates before making your eventual choice?

I may only be their 9th choice but I would take the Knicks coaching job.

Clarkson and the jazz agree to a buyout, will move on and sign with the knicks.

Interviewees usually come in voluntarily for a job. You interview several that walk-in and choose based off what is best in front of you. You have no choice who walks through that door.
In this case it's different. None of the Knicks first attempts were with coaches that were unsigned. They were requesting to speak with several coaches that were still already working for other teams. Meaning they had in mind who they wanted to talk to first at the minimum and who was on their radar.
I get that you'll interview several coaches, but most of the time there's a slew of coaches who are unsigned and not working. The Knicks first several attempts were with coaches who were signed. Let's say a team is interested in Phil Jackson in his prime and Mike Brown. Both of those coaches are still under contract with other teams. You don't go request to talk to Mike Brown before you talk to Phil Jackson. You request to talk to Jackson because he's your first choice and if the team allows you to interview him and you can sign him you won't even need an interview with Brown.

Nets playing 4d chess out here, Porter surrounded by the best playmaking in the league is going to be putting up all star numbers which will greatly increase his value for him to be traded for more 1st round picks in the 2026 off-season

I'm not saying it definitely won't happen but any GM that trades a first round pick to pay 40mil per for a 3-and-no-D roleplayer is crazy.
