Even if Hoard doesn't get drafted in the top 45-50 picks and get a gtd NBA contract it is extremely likely he will have a nice selection of two-way deal opportunities to pick from. Those pay in the 200k range and get him better training than he would receive at Wake Forest next year. Plus most...

Zion is just a ridiculous cheat code. Yet somehow he was stuck on this team that has no outside shooting. Wofford + Zion would have been better than this Duke team + Zion. Zion's greatness almost got them there but do not kid yourself....this was a poorly built Duke team.

Both are really bad but I prefer Bz personally. I think finishing KP 170 or whatever in year 5 of a tenure is the worst coaching mark of the 9 year run. Worse than 260 in year 1, like Bz put out in 2011.

Danny is fundamentally incapable of coaching at a high level. He's not sharp enough. It isn't going to work. This is a big business high money industry and he is competing with coaches and programs that are sharper and more charismatic and will always be steps ahead. It'd be like if I was...

If finances are tight I don't understand why we wouldn't just pay the buyout and hire a cheap coach (W Miller?). If you are paying DM 3.5mm/yr and the new coach 1mm/yr I'm sure it would be net-positive financially for WF (over just paying DM 3.5mm) due to increased donations, ticket sales, etc.

Texas is only +2.5 or +3 in this game with over 40% chance to win, btw. And WVU is up 13 over Texas Tech currently too. Texas would be big favorite over WVU to reach the finals.

Assume we need to cheer for Kansas tonight against Shaka? Texas winning a couple games in KC and making a NCAA run might hurt?

Yep. And his team this year is still pretty good. You can tell by this http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-basketball/teams/team-page.cfm/team/texas-austin. Look at the closing lines for UT games against the strong teams during the whole of the B12 schedule.

Shaka would be home run hire. His teams at Texas haven't been nearly as bad as the public perception.

Bruce Weber (K-state bball) and Mike Leach (Tenn football) are kind of interesting prior targets. A little different than plucking the best young mid-major etc.

Here is the financial example outlined earlier in the thread as I see it: 1. At end of Dino era: WF basketball has a +1,000,000 net worth. Made the NCAA tournament 2 straight years. Likely considered a top 20-40 program in nation at the time. Some national relevance. Not great but solid...

For me personally, WF basketball is at its lowest point since the day I was accepted to WF. During the Bz years I would watch the games. I was angry and upset, but I'd post analysis and dream about how certain pieces would look with a new coach. I would watch mid-major coaches and post...

Not bad but Bell wasn't a great leaper with this kind of bounce. Zhaire is a dunk contest champion type athlete. 1st in combine in vertical. 1st out of wings in 3/4 court sprint. He's like a Zach Lavine athlete without the offensive creation but actually has basketball IQ, cares about defense...

Zhaire is such a cool player. I preferred him to both of the Bridges and posted as much on here a couple of months ago. Yes, he's short and can't really dribble. But he's the best athlete in this draft. And unlike most freak athletes he has a great feel for the game and makes high IQ, winning...

Sigh, sorry to RJ. I'll stop posting. I found it, It's the rookie min to get to 12 slots. So about 5mm of cap space gone for 9 holds. So yeah, looking at 51-52mm of Rockets cap space they can clear, not 56-57mm.

Also if Lebron announces he is leaving the Cavs could opt to sign and trade Lebron to Houston and get Anderson/Gordon/picks. Then Houston would re-sign Paul & Ariza with bird. The only reason I doubt this path is I don't think Dan Gilbert would be willing to keep paying the luxury tax bill...

To get Lebron the Rockets would clear their roster to containing only: Harden: 30.4m Tucker: 8m Capela: 7m cap hold Renounce bird rights to Chris Paul. And then have 55-58m of cap space depending where cap comes in. Sign Paul and James for the full amount of cap space. Use bird rights to pay...

What are you talking about. You don't have to save money for the open slots. You can sign vet mins after you are over the cap. And they can easily clear Nene on a 2/7 deal and the other contracts aren't gtd. I thought cap was proj at 102 and that gets you to 57m.
