2017 NBA OFFSEASON

trade zinger quick

wonder if magic will hire phil to be his valet

I'm seeing some people on twitter concern trolling the Hayward/PG combo come on it will rule

James Dolan is the only remaining owner who could fire Phil here and have it feel like things will get worse. Not even Vivek.

Knicks and President Phil Jackson are expected to announce that they're parting ways early Wednesday morning, sources told ESPN.

looool

YEssssssss

Just announced : Isiah Thomas to step in as new President of Operations.

lol dolan went from caring so little about the knicks that he played the blues the night of the draft to firing phil cause he pretended to trade zinger in under a week

apparently he just extended phils contract by $24m a few months ago my lord

The expectation in Warriors circles, sources say, is that Durant won't formally come to terms on his new deal until "later in the month."

$24m to buy out phil vs. $54m to buy out melo, that's what you call a good business decision.

it was a silly decision to extend phil's contract, but it was an even sillier decision by phil to antagonize the team's two biggest stars and best players in the press for months.

unless he wanted to be fired

if the clippers are getting broken up where does blake end up

houston?

they're already getting chris paul in this scenario they dont have cap for 2 guys

i wish cp was headed to the spurs

paul to spurs blake to houston seems like more of a —cultural fit—

denver wants blake apparently

denvers trippin

its very important that the good players never leave the western conference imo

CP3 to Houston seems like it would sap a lot of what worked about last year's team, but I guess if you're trying to compete with the Dubs, you gotta just stack up all-stars

Knicks owner James Dolan is targeting Toronto's Masai Ujiri to replace Phil Jackson as N.Y.'s President, league sources tell @TheVertical.

good luck jimmy

new york knicks announce hire of new gm david kahn

they should hire griffin and build the banana boat

cp3 to the rockets is the only team that could conceivably challenge the warriors imo

(in the west)

interesting discussion on the last lowe pod about how teams feel it's easier to defend the rockets in the playoffs because you know they're only taking shots from behind the three or at the rim, and that cp3 could conceivably diversify their offense specifically in the playoffs

also everyone thinks the heat are the team for blake if he doesn't resign from what i understand

blake only lives in shorts year round locales

cp3 traded to the rockets

i keep re-reading the tweet bcuz it seems fake...

wow

cant call the rockets boring

cp3 kept his max salary and moved to a contender

wasnt harden ballin as a PG though ?

no harm in having two elite ball handlers, paul can play off the ball some and get lots of rest during the regular season, plus the enormity of his responsibilities seemed to catch up w harden in the playoffs, this makes the rockets less predictable/defendable

yeah it's a great spot to be in no doubt but just seeing the guy come off his best season being the primary and then bringing in an elite point is strange imo

lolclippers though

Prediction: there will be chemistry issues

clippers got nothing back. wow.

I wouldn't call 3 rotation players and a first round pick nothing, and considering they were days away from getting nothing, I'd say it's a decent haul

Clippers are officially in rebuild mode tho. Will be interesting to see how quickly they can get back to the playoffs.

idk cp3 is a total bitch but hell get u looks

oh i guess he told them he was leaving? this is bizarre. anyone want to take a stab at how he had already decided to sign in houston without, like, taking a meeting?

"Clippers are officially in rebuild mode tho. Will be interesting to see how quickly they can get back to the playoffs"

loool a mediocre playoff team again , one can only dream !

Haha Adam silver shd kick it old school and void this CP3 deal

Xp

players are allowed to talk to each other, players are allowed to talk to their management, if u want a legal explanation

this has been a good morning

Phil Jackson either got some really bad weed this past year or he was trying to torpedo his own career. love it.

of course, this is still a truly impressive example of backchanneling. i am supportive in this instance mostly b/c doc got owned.
