Declan MacManus posted:sometimes i wonder if boston media has to be fed the stories or if they’re just circling the upcoming FAs like sharks Bontemps is a national guy, that article mostly just recaps the stuff Kyrie caught poo poo for all year. The real dirt is going to come from like the Globe or some dumbass radio guy

Is there any reason why a team with the Lakers' resources would actually care about this

Rick posted:You say this like five year contracts are common for coaches but they aren't. It's usually 3 years or 4 years for a coach that is in high enough demand that they can demand something extra. And that 4th year is actually a team option half the time. Like BMV said, college coaches often get a 5 year offer to lure them over but even that is rarer these days. It's not exactly rare either, though. The last few hires: Monty Williams - five years Luke Walton - four years Jim Boylen - undisclosed but reportedly "likely" three years Nick Nurse - three years Dwayne Casey - five years Steve Clifford - four years Mike Budenholzer - four years Lloyd Pierce - four years James Borrego - four years David Fizdale - four years Mike D'Antoni - four years Nate McMillan - three years Scott Brooks - five years I'm sure salary and options play a part in the contract length, but holding fast on three years for an experienced coach still seems unusual

I really appreciate Houston going all-in to compete over the last few years even if things didn’t work out

Rick posted:If I remember the Sun-Times was bullshit but the Lonzo Wire (lol it still exists somehow) picked up a story from there saying that the Bulls may be offering the 6 (if they fall) for Lonzo. I dunno — assuming he ever starts hitting the three consistently, Lonzo seems like the kind of guard you'd ideally want to put next to Kemba

One of the Hornets’ two beat writers is reporting that Kemba “wants to re-sign with the Hornets and the feeling is still mutual, according to league sources.” This is going to go so poorly

I can't remember if this guy is full of poo poo or not but it's a slow day https://twitter.com/stevekylerNBA/status/1134100823045300226?s=20 I'd 100% turn the no. 12 pick and like Marvin Williams into Capela. Gordon less so

gently caressquote:“Oh no question, Charlotte’s definitely my first priority,” he said. “That’s where I’ve been for eight years and that’s all I know. Not many people get a chance to play for one NBA team throughout their career. When I go on my Instagram, I see, ‘Kemba leave! Kemba get out of Charlotte!’ People don’t understand, when they say you need to go ‘here’ and win, that winning is not guaranteed anywhere.”

I’m sure that’s genuine but it’s also just smart negotiating. Pressure is on Charlotte now to pony up

Rick posted:I like Kemba a lot, people throw him around as somone to be disappointed signing but there's a lot worse out there. But yeah the supermax is a lot of money. Although I guess at least Charlotte might end up with one of the better supermax players? It’s tough because as a player and as a person you really couldn’t ask for anything more. He’s worked hard to turn himself into a top-20 player, he seems humble and he’s a lot of fun to watch. Charlotte’s just going to be incredibly boned cap-wise for the rest of his prime, have a poo poo team around him and are probably going to be paying him $40M a year well into his decline Like this summer to stay out of the tax they’re probably going to let Jeremy Lamb (their second-best player) walk, decline Tony Parker’s option, and still need to attach a pick or two to trade away Marvin Williams, MKG or Biyombo. They have Batum left for two years, who quit on the team so dramatically that he had a 4.4% usage rate in March. They might be OK if they can talk Kemba into punting on next season, play him and the young guys, and revamp once some of these bad contracts start coming off the books. Instead I’m they’re probably going to trade a bunch of picks for like Hassan Whiteside and gently caress themselves up even more.

Dejan Bimble posted:Look at the sunny side, the lottery changes mean charlotte has much higher chances at top prospects as a fringe east playoff team. And now they have a GM with a history of finding good players throughout the draft I want to believe in Mitch but this summer will really be a challenge. On the bright side they still have this cornball for 48 games a season https://twitter.com/codyzeller/status/1134950572791074820?s=21

Declan MacManus posted:even though this is a weak draft, two firsts is a bit much for a 30 year old blake griffin who will be pretty far out of his prime by the time they’re ready to contend I’d take that in a heartbeat but more than maybe any other team I never really feel like I know what Detroit is doing

A Love for Batum + 12 swap would probably work on paper but the Hornets would be making things even harder on themselves capwise

El Gallinero Gros posted:That Kyrie post reads like had a mental break He's almost always played that way, but mostly out of necessity. He's a really good catch-and-shoot guy (40+% from three most years, 46.4% in 16-17), stays engaged when he doesn't have the ball, and he's just a great and smart teammate that I don't think would have any trouble adjusting to playing with a guy like LeBron. He's a willing passer but not a great one, and can get tunnel vision especially in late-game situations. Again, though, he's never actually had a No. 2 he could actually trust to hit those shots. I think L.A. is genuinely the best fit for him out there, he can basically give you 95% of what Kyrie did in Cleveland and desperately wants to win more than anything else

I guess they’re just trying to reset the narrative if they feel like they aren’t going to get him? Or something?

Highlights:quote:Griffin is pursuing a combination of assets that include an All-Star player, a young player with All-Star potential and two first-round picks, league sources said. Those wants are on a sliding scale. For example, the better the player, the softer the asks on the draft picks -- and vice versa. quote:So far, Los Angeles and New York teams --- the Clippers and Lakers, Knicks and Nets -- have been among front offices inquiring with New Orleans, league sources said.

Not really surprising at all but when Boston media is reporting on something I assume it's coming from the Celtics, even when they go out of their way to say their source is NOT THE CELTICS https://twitter.com/SteveBHoop/status/1139288332914110464?s=20
