A Conglomeration Of Post Mortems! (New poll, get your votes in!)

[bisme37]

Edit 5/20: I updated the poll to include the 5 teams who had to most votes (Pels, Kings, Bucks, Sixers, Heat) and the 5 teams that got eliminated after the original poll was made (Nuggets, Knicks, Thunder, Cavs, Magic). So get your votes in for the next round of voting! You can select 2 options this time since I figure more than one team here has a good 3 year future. (There is a screenshot of the previous voting results on page 4/post 69.)

Hey good pals. I got a request for a stickied thread with links to all the Post Mortems since they are kinda getting lost in the shuffle. So here it is!

ElectricMayhem has done an amazing job with these in recent seasons (thanks EM!), but isn't able to do them anymore. So the mods have been doing them this year.

We made threads for all the teams that were eliminated in the Play-in or Playoffs but we did not go back and make threads for all the other lottery teams. If someone wants to make a Post Mortem for any of those teams feel free to use the other threads as a template and make a thread.

Anyway... here are the links to all the current post mortems. I will add to the list as more teams have their season end.

Denver Nuggets

New York Knicks

OKC Thunder

Cleveland Cavaliers

Orlando Magic

Los Angeles Clippers

Philidelphia 76ers

Milwaukee Bucks

Miami Heat

Los Angeles Lakers

Phoenix Suns

New Orleans Pelicans

Sacramento Kings

Golden State Warriors

Chicago Bulls

Atlanta Hawks

Final Post Mortem Summary from 2022/23

[Funcrusher]

Jesus that thread title scared me for some reason lol

Jesus that thread title scared me for some reason lol

I thought they were about to combine them all but instead they did something wonderful.

Sorry for doubting you, Bisme!

[Bobbymcgee]

Maybe the Pelicans because they have the most assets to try and trade in order to improve their team.

[jkvonny]

On this list?

I think Kings or/and Pels? They are both younger teams. Good coaches, FO. Assets, etc

Kings (younger, up and coming) are in the Pacific Division surrounded by aging, older, declining teams (GSW, Lakers, Suns, Clips). Also, one of them (Lakers) might end up with another coaching change again. So all of this bodes well for Sacramento.

Pels a lil more challenging. In the Southwest Division. Mavs, Grizz. And other young, up and coming teams like Rockets, Spurs.

The East teams is a toss up with Hawks and Heat. They can make tweaks and improvements, assets. But a lil challenging due to Southeast Division (Surging Magic and Hornets if they get right and healthy). Wiz in for a long rebuild.

Bulls are kinda stuck on a treadmill with really no sense of direction. And they play in a tuff Central Division (Bucks, Pacers, Cavs). Pistons are rebuilding.

Pelicans by a wide margain then Kings and Heat afterwards. No one else even close to them.

[LordCovington33]

Excellent idea. And thanks for your effort in doing this.

[Johnny Bball]

Please add the Bucks to the poll

[jkvonny]

Please add the Bucks to the poll

Bucks would be middle or last.

Aging team.

Weird FO moves (firing coaches left and right) etc.

not the heat

[bisme37]

Crap sorry guys I added Bucks to the poll and it reset the whole thing. So now you have to vote again.

(I put that asterisk as the final poll option so I can change it to a team later without the poll resting again. Adding a whole new option resets it but editing an option doesn't.)

not the heat

Heat have a decent future Bam, Herro, Jaquez, etc and Jimmy still has time in him...they just need to start gaining real assets and not relying on these undrafted guys figuring it out

[jkvonny]

Kings, Pels and Heat were leading the poll by wide margin earlier.

What happened to the original tallys??

Aaaahhh!! That's what happened!

Ok, no worries.

Ya, Kings, Pels and Heat were leading the poll by wide margins earlier today.

[Riverwalk2021]

Definitely not the Bucks or Lakers.

the only thing butler is a lock for is missing more games than he plays.

[BigShot Bojan]

Bret Brown > Nick Nurse

What happens when you foster a culture devoid of accountability

[Black Jack]

I voted Warriors in hopes they will hire me as GM so I can find someone over the height of 6-8

[kaansunman]

Pelicans; have the young core and the assets to trade and make this team better. Chemistry was not there for them. Ingram-Trey-Herbert as forwards, Jonas and Zion as bigs. These are not complementary pieces and you are trying to play without a readl point guard. Even though I am a big Ingram believer, his credit runs out for me. Trading him for a PG, put CJ on his original position, try to find a Myles Turner, Brook Lopez, Vucjevic kind of strech 5. Here you have the copycat of Bucks.

Zion's career did not start well due to injuries, we didn't see him in the playoffs yet but you already gambled on him when you gave the max contract. Give him more shooters, more space down the paint to operate, manage the load, pray for his health.

Thanks a lot Bisme
