In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Since it's his birthday we made him an honorary Warrior for the day.
Can't wait for the free-agency period. The NBA off-season shits all over the football transfer window, to be honest. This is the first one that I follow closely though, so maybe that's why I'm so excited.
Is he even rated higher than Steph?
No because Steph is the best shooter of all time
I love Milos Teodosic. I have seen some of his Euroleague games on NBA TV and ESPN 3 and some games he had with Serbia. He is such a fun player his passing is incredible but, Drew League and Rucker Park are the only places in the States I would want to watch him play. I can not see him doing much off the dribble in the NBA and I have no idea who he can guard in the NBA. The reports of the Bulls being desperate to sign him make no sense.
No he isn't.
I got Dirk, Jordan, Miller, Allen, West, and Bird ahead of him. Steph still has a ways to go before crowning him G.O.A.T.
Nobody's called him the 'GOAT'. I said he's the best shooter ever though.
Career best 3p shooting seasons ever:
Larry Bird - 42.7%
Dirk Nowitzki - 42.1%
Michael Jordan - 42.7% (on a short 3 point line btw)
Reggie Miller - 42.9%
Steph Curry career 3p % - 43.8%. Not even close. His average is better than their best.
I you define "shooter" as 3pt fg pct, sure. All time? Shooting Efficiency (jump shots only)? You get a different story.
Do you know what you are arguing when you are claiming Jordan above Curry as the best shooter? It's not even close. Which is odd given you dropped names like Miller and Allen, who are clearly not on a real all round GOAT list.
I'd dare say the two best shooters ever, are currently playing, together. And Klay would definitely be quite high on that list too.
Dirk, Nash, Allen, Reggie, Bird, Peja, Billups, Pierce some others to throw in there. But look at them and what Curry does, it's just not close.

Curry is the undisputed n°1 for me. But I'd say Nash, Allen, maybe Miller, Korver(?), Horry 
are still above Klay for me.
are still above Klay for me.We're still talking about greatest shooting, yes? Not 3pt field goal %.
Different game. Those guys were dealing with primarily m2m defenses. With zone being implemented and basically inviting more outside shooting; stick Jordan in today's game and he eats everyone alive.
I would consider Curry and Korver the best shooters ever.
Rubio to the Jazz.
So Rubio traded to the Jazz?
Thibs is a moron. Fair enough if you don't think that he's the perfect fit for this team, I don't think either after they got Butler. But they'll realize pretty quickly that there aren't any great alternatives. What are they gonna do, max out an 31 year old Kyle Lowry? Give Jeff Teague 18 million/year? Or something similar to 31 year old injury prone George Hill?
But hey, let's through the playmaker who's young, about to enter his prime and on a relatively cheap contract away for peanuts.

Klay like Steph is a volume 3 point shooter and has a career average of 41.9% from 3 point range and has never shot under 40% for any of his seasons in the NBA. He is also 2nd fastest to 1,000 3 pointers behind Curry (369 games for Steph, 372 for Klay). If he's not the 2nd best shooter of all time yet, if he remains on pace, it's only a matter of time.
Unexpected with all the links to Cleveland and Boston. What does their roster look like this year? No Oladipo. Essentially a 1 year run for both Russell and PG13.

So we have recently seen Cousins, Butler and George all go for nothing.
This pleases me.

Keeping a superstar you want on the last year of his contract is always a stupid idea, especially if you are a small market non-contending team.
That's a pretty pointless trade, isn't it? For all sides.
Blake set to stay at Clippers, apparently. Just disappointing.

This pleases me. Enjoy the training room table BG32.
Celtics, what are you doing?
So I am just guessing that Boston did not want Cousins, Butler or George. They could have easily beaten all those deals without giving up anything major. If they do not get Hayward this is bad.

So Griffin chose the payday, can't really blame the player with the money on the table these days.
George to OKC seems bizarre to me.

And two of the best players in the Eastern conference are now in the West in Butler and George. And losing their stars means two playoff teams Boston and Chicago will be in rebuild. There is also a chance that another playoff team in Atlanta blowing it up. Their is going to be a big gap between the two conferences next season. If I was Hayward I would move to the East because of that.
Pritchard and Bird didn't want to trade with the Lakers. Whether it was the Boston connection or not wanting to give in to PG13's demands. Lakers offer was better than OKC's.
And if you notice Oladipo and Sabonis were traded for Ibaka last summer.
As if there wasn't a big gap there to begin with.
OKC actually cut salary with the trade.
Pritchard is an idiot.A dark end to this would be George and Westbrook enjoying playing with each other so much in Oklahoma they decide to be teammates again in LA.

Only reason is the extra year under contract. Westbrook might stay for the money, but probably not PG. OKC is capped out and they probably won't be competing for the title with that squad.
