Wes had a minor hip injury last game and Carlisle previously said he expected him to play tonight. All signs have point to Cuban not wanting to trade Matthews because in addition to not being bad anymore, they like what he brings to the locker room culture.

C'mon Larry Legend! Let's make something happen with Mr. Cuban!

Yeah, I do remember that (and thought it was really weird and sudden for Sloan but whatever), but then why dump Deron? Because he got into a tiff with a coach who already quit? I'd love for someone to interview some FO personnel to find out what was actually going on.

Speculation, but he had 1 year left on his contract, a reputation as a coach killer, they were suspicious of his knees, and the Jazz were getting not just a stud prospect, Favors, but also a really good replacement PG in Devin Harris.

I'd rather a Utah fan explain how Utah is going to keep Gordon Hayward from going to the Celtics this year. As far as i know Gordon can decline his player option and become an unrestricted free agent.

Boston has the cap space for a max player and also employs his old coach from College.

Coach killer? He had one coach in his career prior to being a Net. The coach killing reputation didn't happen until after the guy before Kidd, Kidd himsefl, and his replacement were fired I think.

Utah can offer him more money, he's probably not going to be Boston's #1 target so he may not even get the offer. Hayward seems like he puts some value in consistency and Utah is looking like an improving team.

Interesting note for next year: Durant would make more money opting out and resigning for the new higher cap, but GSW is unlikely to have the cap space since they do not have his bird rights.

It looked like the grand jury was going to let them off but the county insisted on a new grand jury and they might actually go to trial this summer. I think the facts that come out show that Morrises weren't nearby when the assault took place, but it was by their friend, on the man dating their mother. Pretty weak stuff and I don't think it will amount to anything, and I'm glad the Pistons got Marcus for nothing as a result.

They pretty much admitted from the start that at least one of the twins wasn't there but like they said he was an accessory because he was keeping people in a building away from the fight to stop them from intervening or something.

Space Camp fuckup posted:

Eh I mean the circumstances are a little different. Dragic was about to be a free agent and had his legs cut out from under him when they signed IT. Markieff Morris was (rightfully, imo) pissed when they traded Marcus without even giving them a heads-up.

Devin Booker is the face of the franchise on a rookie contract and spends his free time trolling Mill Avenue for ASU girls with low self-esteem.

I think they're going to be decent sooner rather than later anyway if this month is indicative of anything.

I just feel like they had all the leverage with Dragic, he was mad but it was fixable, especially since they ended up trading IT hours later.

I think I saw Booker at Mill Ave at that bar with the all the outdoor games by the AMC a few days before Christmas but I was already running late for the movie so I couldn't confirm.

Not a Utah fan, but they can offer him more money and a longer contract on a team that's roughly at the same level of competitiveness. Obviously the coach thing and the bigger market thing are significant, and we can no longer say "players never turn the money and year down" since Dwight and Durant both did, but it's still really common for players to stay where they're at now.

They've got a shot but I'm pretty sure the schedule gets harder than it has been and Simmons coming back will probably make them worse in the short term since he's still never played in the league and hasn't played a game in months. Glad we have that pick swap with the Kings in case it does happen though.

It is fun as hell to watch though and this run has been impressive.
