Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

also like how he was fired not for coaching reasons but because after all his endless preaching about professionalism he couldnt get along with one other human in that organization

I'm sure they asked him?

mark jackson is not a good decision maker!

you cant just let him do what he wants

Yah it's really weird. He was asking for that pop control without those pop results.

seems like he could prob get other work if he wanted it, I'm guessing he kinda wanted to cover that game for some weird masochistic reason

suspect hes just fundamentally insufferable to be around xp

who knows maybe he will learn, he will def coach again, tho if hes waiting around for as sweet as an assignment as golden state i doubt its gonna come

how bad would he be in sacto? if his personal skills are what got him bounced I'm guessing the answer is "fucking atrocious"

which would also be why vivek might well end up hiring him

Vivek would never give up control

vivek wants mullins

prob just roll w the interim til next season havent heard them interviewing anyone

he shd def coach the lakers tho

Mullins or jax?

JAXXXXX

he sure as shit couldn't be worse than b-scott

If the Lakers weren't such a prestigious coaching job, I'd be delighted to see Mark Jackson saddled with it. But even as bad as the Lakers are at present, it would be better than Jackson deserves.

Jackson isn't THAT bad, jeez.

Also maybe he worked the game last night because it's his job to? He already ducked out of the first ESPN broadcast earlier this season. He couldn't do it forever.

Rudy Gobert or Rudy Gohard??

Also I forgot why Matt hates this guy

doesnt like tall foreigners iirc

breaking sixers no longer have the worst record in the nba, not even second worst!

Danny Ainge wants to get Austin Rivers and I'm starting to long for the M.L. Carr era.

well if its rivers or salmons as the throw in in the green deal who cares hardly seems like grounds for longing for a time when the celtics were truly hopeless

also shh rivers has turned into a kinda ok nba bench player

I hate Austin Rivers and don't want to see him in Celtics green.

Has any team ever led by more than double the other team after 3

wld think

lagoon u talking about the same austin rivers who just lost his rotation spot to jimmer fredette or another one

ha he is bad but whatever is my main point hes just a throw in

john salmons might actually be dead, i'll take rivers

in my ongoing war against nba twitter i have attempted to engage @haralabob in a philosophical argument https://twitter.com/on3ness/status/554012967441031168

haralabob clearly hasn't read Hume

Oh lord the c's could actually put out an Evan turner- Austin rivers backcourt, incredible

Bob being a lame internet teen atheist makes too much sense

@WojYahooNBA: Boston's on phones now, trying to find a deal to move on Austin Rivers, league sources tell Yahoo.

lol celtics desperately trying to avoid rivers

also shh rivers has turned into a kinda ok nba bench player

No. Why do you think this?

just cause its a fact

it's not, it's a really bad opinion actually

he isn't as horrific as he was in his rookie year but he is still bad and shouldn't be in a reasonable rotation

@ESPNSteinLine: Grizz poised to get Jeff Green/Russ Smith; Celts to get Tay Prince/Austin Rivers/Grizz first; Pelicans to get Quincy Pondexter/Grizz second

@ESPNSteinLine: As my colleague @GwashNBAGlobe reported earlier tonight, Boston is already trying to move Austin Rivers. LIKELY in a separate deal, though

matt btw read the thread

fence sitting

lmao if the clippers trade for another Rivers

kinda makes sense that the hornets are better with a lineup that's just kemba walker and 4 guys who play D

(Zeller pretty solid on D imo)

philly has a one point lead over indy with 32 seconds. if they hold on they'll be owners of a two game win streak.

lol players and fans celebrating like they just won a playoff series. so much joy in philly!

nice
