I agree Yugoslavia is pretty good, but I would put my money on Prussia or the Austro-Hungarian empire to win it all.


We really gonna sit here and pretend the Khan Dynasty isn't sweeping this tournament?

I don't think anyone's really saying Lebron killed their previous coach.
Too much pressure from front office given expectations. Wcf last year. Got two arguably top 10/15 players, supposed upgraded roster over the summer.

First round gentlemen's sweep.

Everyone pretty much failed. But the coach will get the blame. Sure won't be the front office or Lebron / AD. Especially since they both played pretty well.

Maybe a few centuries ago. They can still dominate down low but in the modern game the Prussians will shoot them out of the building. I doubt they even make it past the Ottomans.

After the salary cap was instituted in 1984–85 season, the NBA has prohibited teams from employing a player-coach.




Byron who rode on the greatness of Kidd and CP3 got exposed in LA. Now he is getting paid to speak and suggest an idea that is not legal in NBA. :crazy:

I imagine LeBron gets to do pretty much all the coaching he wants. Maybe he'd enjoy dictating lineups and rotations, but I doubt he would want to manage that minute by minute.

Why not hire Byron Scott as HC?

Bring CP3 back and let the oldheads go out with 1 last bang!

It kinda sucks its not allowed over cap circumvention rules, I think Lebron & others officially being coaches would be intriguing and could keep those guys involved visibly with the league once they're done playing too. They should make a provision that allows for it with additional oversight, the players make so much money now the spare change coaches get shouldn't make much of a difference.
