.@jaygraybay TV deal expires after 2015-16 season. The last renewal came the previous June, or June 2015 in this timeline.

Reiterates expansion doesn't make sense until the league knows what the new TV deal looks like.

Marc Stein: Rumblings persist Suns haven't hired GM yet because they remain hopeful Clips' Grant Hill, out of playoffs now, returns to PHX to take job

Stan Van Gundy to the Bucks? Please??

If I'm Grant Hill I say "haha no" to that offer.

isn't Grant Hill 40 now? if I were him, I'd peace out and enroll in business school

Phoenix has hired Celtics assistant GM Ryan McDonough as its new general manager.

Brandon Roy was waived by the Twolves yesterday. You knew it was coming. It was crazy of him to think he could overcome bone-on-bone knees through pure strength of will. I wish him all the best. He was a magnificent player before his knees got used up.

Hawk's are going after Stan Van which I'm guessing is apart of some hope of landing Dwight. Either way I'm all about it.

u mean hope of repelling dwight right?

Q: The playoffs are in full swing and what are the stories getting big local play for the blazers?

A: New assistant coach hired and the trainer let go. These two were on the front page of the Oregonian newspaper's sports section. Actual NBA playoffs were relegated to an inside page and got about 1/6 the number of inches.

this offseason is going fucking GREAT

nuggets will win the nba playoffs

between dwight, cp3 and bynum i think this offseason could be more interesting than the lebron year

pretty sure this broussard 'cp3s feelings are hurt' story is some bullshit and he re-signs with the clippers.. dwight is another fucking story. that guy needs to gtfola

i think cp3 will re-sign too but i wouldn't be shocked if the clippers just screwed it all up

it is the clippers after all

During the Grizzlies' playoff run, tensions turned to a confrontation when Hollins exploded during a practice session upon finding Hollinger had walked onto the practice court and engaged forward Austin Daye during a shooting drill, multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports.

With the team watching – and with a motive to show his players that he was completely in charge on the floor, sources said – Hollins loudly questioned Hollinger about what he was doing, and why he believed it was appropriate for a management official to intrude on what's considered sacred territory for a coach and team, sources said.

lol woj

"sacred territory"

so obvious that hollinger would turn scapegoat

That "sacred territory" stuff just another way to say "he stepped onto Lionel's turf".

Austin Daye is on the Grizzlies?

except for this http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/33/jkidd1349083.jpeg i like u jkidd RIP

good god

Analysis: The Pelicans will take a long, hard look at both Burke and Syracuse's Michael Carter-Williams. But I'm not sure they'll bite. This team drafted Austin Rivers last year to be its point guard of the future and sources say that the team hasn't given up on Rivers, despite a miserable rookie season.

am i nuts or is a 3/36 offer for monta something of a lowball?

i think monta needs a reality check regarding what a team wants to pay him in 2013
