steve kerr was born in lebanon but i guess that doesn't count

cool?

He's coached Doncic before, but that dude probably won't be around at pick 4
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Wednesday, 2 May 2018 23:53 (eight years ago)
never know this draft is pretty stacked at the top
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 2 May 2018 23:57 (eight years ago)
huh i thought blatt was israeli but i guess he just spent his whole adult life there and was born in massachusettes
― Clay, Wednesday, 2 May 2018 23:58 (eight years ago)
yeah weird.
cool hire by the suns in that it's not a boring pick ala jax/kidd/delnegro/etc. Bud to Bucks rumors are heating up.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 3 May 2018 00:01 (eight years ago)
seems like a match to me, bud prob wants personnel control tho
― lag∞n, Thursday, 3 May 2018 00:01 (eight years ago)
might not be a bad move? they need roster help. but those things usually end poorly as we've seen.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 3 May 2018 00:02 (eight years ago)
yeah hed be a great hire as a coach but imho never give a coach gming duties, like he shd have input but not final say
― lag∞n, Thursday, 3 May 2018 00:04 (eight years ago)
suns should have hired brad stevens 2

nba media dudes rave about kokoskov but they seemed to be pretty brainwashed by the utah org (not saying anything bad about the utah org but it's true)

calling some up and coming coach a hotshot is a no risk proposition

feels like hornacek just started, i wouldnt have guessed he made it 2 full seasons
― ciderpress, Thursday, 3 May 2018 22:15 (eight years ago)
hornacek going from the suns to the knicks was some kind of bad karma. poor guy.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 3 May 2018 22:19 (eight years ago)
its not like he had to
― ciderpress, Thursday, 3 May 2018 22:35 (eight years ago)
fizdale must have really thought he wasn’t getting another job
― J0rdan S., Friday, 4 May 2018 00:57 (eight years ago)
the suns offered him a 4 year, turned it down for the knicks
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Friday, 4 May 2018 01:04 (eight years ago)
suns job might be worse than the knicks actually
― J0rdan S., Friday, 4 May 2018 01:18 (eight years ago)
knicks definitely pay more than suns
― call all destroyer, Friday, 4 May 2018 01:21 (eight years ago)
suns job is def worse

i remember hearing about that a few years back but it brought tears reading the details. Just brutal. Amazing he's been able to get his life together and be such a role model.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Saturday, 5 May 2018 20:16 (eight years ago)
Yeah really happy things worked out for him and really impressed by how the players tribune is helping to shed light on mental health issues.

good to know

too bad grizzdale got swept up by the lol knicks; he might've been a solid fit for detroit

Canned Van Gundy left behind a massive pile of poo for the next group to clean up.

still havent processed that blake griffin is on that team
― ciderpress, Monday, 7 May 2018 21:34 (eight years ago)
neither has he
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Monday, 7 May 2018 21:43 (eight years ago)
that roster is really jacked beyond all belief
― J0rdan S., Monday, 7 May 2018 21:45 (eight years ago)
luke kennard 1 pick before donovan mitchell might go down as one of the all time worst draft decisions
― J0rdan S., Monday, 7 May 2018 21:46 (eight years ago)
yea def
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Monday, 7 May 2018 21:53 (eight years ago)
Oden before Durant worse.
― Jeff, Monday, 7 May 2018 22:45 (eight years ago)
It won’t be in the top 500 worst draft decisions
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 7 May 2018 23:32 (eight years ago)
kennard showed a little life the last 1/4 of the season
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Monday, 7 May 2018 23:44 (eight years ago)
the thing is that it was bad and made no sense on draft night as it was happening in real time
