That dude basically drove Rick Carlilse out right?
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 23 September 2021 22:31 (two years ago) link
possibly yeah
― a talented ‘Rebel’ with Balls (Spottie), Thursday, 23 September 2021 22:48 (two years ago) link
the stuff i’ve read and heard makes me think he was one of a number of factors that led to that and probably not the biggest one. i think luka was done with rick.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 23 September 2021 22:57 (two years ago) link
yeah my read is luka got them both fired, maybe not intentionally tho
― lag∞n, Thursday, 23 September 2021 22:58 (two years ago) link
luka and carlisle had a power struggle that carlisle was never gonna win plain and simple. haralabob and donnie nelson had a separate power struggle over the front office that they both lost. it’s all in that athletic article
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 23 September 2021 22:59 (two years ago) link
it said the luka hated the mere sight of bob too
― lag∞n, Thursday, 23 September 2021 23:00 (two years ago) link
if anything it seemed like haralabob and carlisle got along to some extent, one of the big conspiracies in that article was that haralabob was dictating rotations to carlisle

Seeing stuff on Twitter that new management was upset that Rosas didn't want to do a Simmons for Dlo package, which is that is the case shoot him into the sun, jfc
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 24 September 2021 15:27 (two years ago) link
from a good source? i'm sort of generally skeptical of that from all sides.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 24 September 2021 15:28 (two years ago) link
Nah just chatter so I didn't link it but just because something seems too dumb to be true doesn't mean it's not true in Timberwolves land
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 24 September 2021 15:31 (two years ago) link
yeah for sure. the part i struggle with is imagining daryl morey floating a simmons for dlo+ deal that rosas would even have the opportunity to turn down.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 24 September 2021 15:34 (two years ago) link
yeah doesn't feel right. though i do kinda wonder - like who are they gonna get at this point?
doesn't really feel like a big fish like Dame is gonna happen

― a talented ‘Rebel’ with Balls (Spottie), Friday, 24 September 2021 15:51 (two years ago) link
getting dame in exchange for simmons would be straight up highway robbery, so the only way it ever would have happened would be if dame had issued an ultimatum to trade him. no such ultimatum went down.

ESPN Sources: Manu Ginobili is returning to the San Antonio Spurs as a special advisor to basketball operations. Ginobili will take on a player-centric role that’s focused on the development of players on and off the court.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) September 24, 2021

Cool about Manuxps DLo seems like his reputation in the league has a high variance, I wonder if Morey would trade for him then flip him. Dunno where though
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Friday, 24 September 2021 16:30 (two years ago) link
daryl morey would quit the sixers before he ever traded ben simmons for d’angelo russell
― J0rdan S., Friday, 24 September 2021 16:59 (two years ago) link
will be interesting to see how this all plays out
― lag∞n, Friday, 24 September 2021 17:02 (two years ago) link
seems like phillys going to have to move him for a not ideal deal sooner than later
― lag∞n, Friday, 24 September 2021 17:05 (two years ago) link
theyre trying to compete they need to have players who are actually playing
― lag∞n, Friday, 24 September 2021 17:06 (two years ago) link
i also don’t understand how his trade value increases at all from this point. i bet this has a similar feel to james harden last year where after like 5 games there’s a real motivation to get something done

this is fun little thing i stumbled upon amidst more pels/zion drama. it's a book proposal from a former shoe company rep who had some dealings with zion and his family, lots of other players, and eventually got sent to prison. it's like 50 pages but the first 20 or so are very entertaining and have all the zion stuff. sounds like the actual book will be coming out at some point:

the union bargained that you still get paid if you can't play bc of vax situation right, bc that sounds good for andrew wiggins (who does not like to play basketball)

Lmao the trade was horrible but not having Wiggins around is a nice feeling

Simmons for Wiggins works in the trade machine! Do people vax in Philly?

they should let it decide all trades

i mean, might as well save them the trip. it’s not the players he has a problem with.

If they flew coach instead of taking the jet maybe he'd listen
