I didn’t scrutinize every post closely, Reef, but I did notice some negative posts of Cooley similar to some negative posts we get of Archie on here as to style of play, player usage, etc. Didn’t appear to be a lot of excitement around KJ either. A few posters defended KJ regarding his NCAA discipl...

If thinks stay pat as they stand now, I am good with this core going into next season. I thought they may upgrade from Ways, but maybe Archie sees some upside potential there. Anyway, with the current 4 open spots, I wouldn't mind adding a solid veteran PG, a CG/Wing that can be a glue guy and can ...

My guess would be he has zero interest in coaching the pro game. News flash: He already is.... Yea, I guess. The semi-pro league(D1 colleges)still could be considered a coaches league where the NBA is a players league? Is the tipping point/difference when the players make more than the coach?

All I know is that losing Hammond and keeping Ways is a terrible start. Rather lose both and get two new point guards. I would guess most, if not all, of the players in the portal are better than Ways. I have absolutely no idea why Archie would keep a player of his caliber. But maybe he'll get bett...
