2021 nba offseason draft free agency etc

KG would make rookies (and vets) cry.

kg would try to check into the game in the first quarter of the first game he coached

my understanding is paul pierce has a lot of room in his schedule these days

does he know how to coach though

pierce is all set hes got that crypto

very smart, i gotta get in on that stuff

thats what im sayin

lol bobby

FYI on the NY Knicks

Roster building in the NBA is humbling and history has proven that one ill-advised transaction can send a team that overachieved in one season to one stuck on the treadmill of mediocrity for the foreseeable future.

hahah

He’s not egregiously terrible but it never fails to amaze me that that man has a job as an analyst of NBA front office moves

Especially because, that (presumably self-aware) tweet notwithstanding, he does actually often seem to advocate for teams pushing their chips into the table on big stars and the like

I guess you can take the GM out of the Nets but you can’t take the Nets out of the GM

if theyre gonna pay him that much i would frontload the hell out of that contract

he's in an amazing position. there's zero way the suns can let him walk after this season

this injury in the playoffs maybe gave them some pause but yeah

cant say hes not a shrewd little bastard

xxxpost - there's literally a regular segment where people explain tweets to Mike Greenberg...called...Explain Your Tweet!

feel like they do have a window over the next year or two before the extensions for their young guys really kick in to give CP an insane short term contract like 2 years $100m or something but if he's like "give me 4/160 or i'm walking" he might put them in a tough position where their young guys are in their prime w/ this huge albatross contract weighing the team down

jfc lol xp

articles says hes after 3/100

oh no! what a dweeb

xp that actually feels pretty reasonable to me. he shaves $15 million off his salary next year to essentially accept a $30 million expiring 2 years down the road. i think the suns could do that and feel not horrible about it. that third year would be painful bcuz ayton, bridges etc would be making big money by that point but it's only a year and it's not out of the question that cp could still be useful to some degree

yah that seems about right. but they should def frontload it

I think the celtics should hire stotts

Kidd — who was previously a head coach in Brooklyn and Milwaukee — is expected to interview for the Boston Celtics head coach opening and is expected to be a top target of the Portland Trail Blazers with the anticipation that Terry Stotts will be relieved of his duties after nine seasons with the team, sources said.

kidd's agent working overtime

i guess it's official--happy trails, terry stotts

rip

Among candidates expected to be considered for the Blazers opening, sources tell ESPN: Clippers assistant Chauncey Billups, Jeff Van Gundy, Nets assistant Mike D’Antoni, and Michigan’s Juwan Howard.

I don't have the volume on, can anyone tell me if the road team has ever won 6 games in a series

it has never happened per the tv people

That woj tweet seems like a bunch of names pulled from a hat. if there is a theme there, it's total confusion about which direction to turn.

i think those sorts of floats are usually nonsense, but that does not mean the franchise does have a genuine sense of what's next

yeah i wouldn't worry too much about the specific names in the early new coach tweets

my yikes was def geared more towards "that's what's out there, huh? not great!"

Portland Trail Blazers superstar Damian Lillard tells @YahooSports his preference to be the next head coach of the franchise is Jason Kidd: “[He’s] the guy I want.” https://t.co/xzeI7lf3vn

nooooo

Dame obv wants a guy who'll come in, fire up the players, demand their best every night, start strong from day one, wear out his welcome in 1.5 seasons and be cordially hated by the team, fans and front office by the time he collects his severance.

yikes!

wait I just remembered the time Kidd spilled a soda to get a free timeout or something, I’m on the train

that ruled

stotts is going to be rolling in schadenfreude next season

kidd and dame both oakland point guards

If dame wants Kidd you kind of have to do it. Also no offense to anyone involved but you just have to trade nurkic. Like I’m imagining Kidd and Nurkic and I see bad outcomes.

every trade machine post slightly curses the team getting the better end of the deal

what no one told me

just make sure they're truly balanced before you post them and you'll cause no harm

i dont want to

As the Orlando Magic move into a full rebuilding process, coach Steve Clifford and the franchise have agreed together to a parting, sources tell ESPN.
