Why not make Bron player-coach? It's essentially the result of hiring JJ Redick.

I'm curious could a player draw a player and coach salary at the same time?

Under the CBA, player-coaches aren't allowed.

Figured so once i thought about the contract loophole.

Fun fact: LeBron was in the NBA 3 years before JJ was drafted.

Well Lebron did skip college while JJ went for all 4 years, so I suppose that makes sense. Them being about the same age is still a pretty wild thing when you consider how well Lebron still plays at this age

Bob Hurley is one of the most loyal basketball head coaches of all time. I can't imagine Dan jumping ship without his father's input and even blessing.

I mean see no way he does this? Two ships and you aren't going to a team you can grow. You are the sacfrifical lamb when they are hurt and don't win. Money is money but I don't see it

Hurley turns down Lakers. 70 million was the offer. I think its the right decision. A whole lot of money but could kill his NBA coaching dream quickly.

He's actually played terrible vs Boston since putting his foot on a leprechaun.

-Lakers weren't serious with that offer. Hurley was already offered 11m per from Kentucky and he turned it down. Now they can hire JJ Redick without all the flak.

-This Finals has no momentum or excitement. The week layoff going into Game 1 that turned into a blowout, then 2 days between Game 2 that was also a poor game, now another 2 days. Game 3 needs to be an all time classic.

Luka fouls out late in a close game in a must win game is something rather amazing. Luka deserved actually about 12 fouls in this game, they called 50% of them.

Enjoy your ship Boston.

Also, the alleged superstar of the Boston Celtics probably isn't even going to win Finals MVP.. Brown has outplayed him this series.

i just laugh at Luka and his whiny bitch ass ways. his response after the game of, "i got 6 fouls in a nba finals game, i mean cmon!" as if the refs are not allowed to call fouls on him or something??? he oozes entitlement

Worst finals since 2018 if not 2007.
