2019 nba OFFSEASON news, rumors, drama, and recriminations

It’s a sad state of affairs when it would be an improvement if they hired David Kahn to run basketball operations.

Apparently Bron washed his hands of this coaching choice process and didn’t want to do anything with it

i mean the whole situation is amazingly bad but hiring Kidd to instantly create drama and undermine your new hire is really next level bad decision making

Ramona on Phil involved " Accurate, if you look at where they ended up it mirrors the Knicks coaching search. What Rambis & Phil learned from the Knicks was the destructive nature of what oversize superstardom could do to your team. They had Melo who had a NTC, LeBron doesn't."

GUFFAW

morey calls lakers and offers harden for lebron straight up, who says no

would be pretty rude to call someone up with an offer and then say no

*crosses morey off list*

maybe he’s a prankster tho

john beilein??

As a Michigan fan, lemme tell you that news can politely be described as a “punch in the dick”

we doing draft stuff on this thread? anyone want to post espn's new mock?

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/26738647/embiid-says-idea-firing-76ers-brown-bs

coaching decisions are so funny, like if that ball ricochets off the rim instead of bouncing in, it's a whole different conversation (i don't know enough to say whether he's good or bad, ILH seems down on him)

sixers fans seem to like him but idk why

seems like a players coach

if there were a clear upgrade available it would be one thing, but i think they overachieved in the toronto series.

imo he shd be fired, obvs u gotta find someone better which isnt a "slam dunk" but still

Ramona on 710: "I think whats happened and no one wants to say it, but this is the Lakers passive aggressive way of resetting the LeBron era. Their way of saying we need to empower our young guys and get back to being a team, not just LeBron and the satellites around LeBron."

teams should try making good rosters rather than throwing coaches under the bus

gms wld rather fire coaches than themselves, tho tbf magic did fire himself

draft lottery tomorrow btw someone gettin zion

I hope Dallas wins the draft

i want atl

Me too. Anyone but phx so their ticket prices stay cheap

Anyone but the Knicks, Cavs or Lakers

yeah i dont want zion on a cursed franchise

Not Chicago either

chicago i think cld actually work

places i could handle zion going: atl, dallas, new orleans, chicago

places zion is not allowed to go: new york, LAL, washington, minny, phoenix, basically the places with abominable managment

How is Chicago not part of your abominable management list?

i like the good people and the city of chicago that is pretty much that

somehow i feel zion cld lift "the curse of jordan"

also they have some pieces

yeah it is time for the bulls to be good again and not in the weird gross way of the rose and noah teams

otm

I too don’t hate the bulls and feel they deserve some good things. La and ny need to stay trash for life

ilh hivemind (aka hoopmind) concurs

the bulls will not be good until their management changes sorry its just the way it is

Exactly. I have nothing against the city of Chicago but this management group of Reinsdorf/Paxton/Forman is horrible

they had a good team like a few years ago

good, if as clay said a bit gross

zion is salvation let us not forget

hmm

Much to think about. pic.twitter.com/8Er6a0qANY

Brett Brown will return as the Philadelphia 76ers coach next season, managing partner Josh Harris told ESPN on Monday night. Harris, Brown and GM Elton Brand met today to discuss offseason priorities, including draft and free agency.

but he's not good

they def shdve factored that into their decision imo

clay could you reconsider I would like the Timberwolves to get Zion :)

yeah i mean imo when you're thinking about coaching always pick a good coach over a coach who is not good xp

seems pretty straight forward idk

umsd, i def factored you into my consideration bc i do not want to see you hurt but the thing is the wolves have just squandered so much so badly the last few years i can't really handle it anymore

& they have that family operation feel like the lakers and knicks and you just cannot run a modern franchise that way
