2023 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread

Maybe. I could see the Celtics wanting to do that, I'm not sure how Mazzulla would feel about it.

I think he’s proved he’s not a head coach yet… so it’s gonna be an assistant job somewhere… might not be able to swallow his pride though.

He does not have a player option.

I see, my bad. When scrolling over Sportrac "Player Option" pops out, but it's actually an ETO. In any case, 10M are guaranteed, which makes it 47M still owed. Still toxic.

For a 1st most teams will be willing to absorb a bad contract with 1 or 2 years left and 10-25M in salary. Miami will probably have to wait one more year (or the deadline at the earliest).

I’d take him right now for #18. I think he would fit in just fine with the Jazz, and I’d like another crack inside the top 20 picks of the draft this year.

He's in so far over his head.

They are probably thinking the same hehe. It think they could dump him with a 1st in a weaker draft or when the pick projects to be in the mid 20s

I will be very surprised if he doesn't.

I would fire him before game 4. Series is over, might as well make a statement.

I heard a rumour that Tatum and Brown were beefing, hard to fix that if thats the locker room issue.

has any team ever come back from 3-0 down in a conference finals?

Never happened in the NBA playoffs ever. I’m actually astonished this isn’t universally known.

I was 99 percent sure that was the case

True.. it might even fire the team up.

Do you guys think the Celtics would sign the largest extension in NBA history to retain Jalen Brown after this?
