lol

they seem like a good bet to make that streak 20 at this point

When I say Victor Wembanyama is the future of the NBA (if healthy), this is the type of stuff I’m talking about. Not normal agility and skill level. Then add in passing feel + elite defensive versatility and you’ve got a special prospect. Had 25 PTS in Pro A action the other day pic.twitter.com/xkWkiKVKOo

can he guard the pick n roll tho

hes destroys pick n rolls of grown professional basketball players

I saw a guy named Nickola Jovic in a mock draft. Could get confusing

if we can survive bojan and bogdan bogdanovic we can do this

in a draft preview i saw somewhere they took pains to explain that joker is NOT a comp for him. anticipating (rightly) that people can't disambiguate similarity of name and basketball skill

tbh while i am very clear on bojan and bogdan being two different dudes, know each's team, playing style, etc, i do always forget which first name goes with which guy

yes please ruin the hornets mike

The Charlotte Hornets are reportedly emerging as potential suitors for a Russell Westbrook trade this off-season.

no why cmon unless theyre just trying to get some draft picks for hayward in which case ok

cos russ is a jordan shoe guy

funny thing about "the jordan brand" is the annual signature shoe is the preeminent sneaker but no one really fucks with the rest of them

its weird do they just use all their juice making the one shoe or do they make the other ones crappy on purpose or what

hmm i was wondering if he would pick up his option

John Wall plans to exercise his $47M player option with the Rockets next season, via @MikeAScotto.

russ truly one of the great low bb iq superstars

id say hes the goat in that sense.

yeah maybe so

Ramona Shelburne has one today too - get ready to read a lot about how f'ed this team was

"The reality of the season was that Russ has been in a dark corner, and he doesn't know who to trust or who to believe," a team source said. "Then, if something doesn't go well for him, he backs up a little more.

"There's also guys in the locker room who were so disgruntled about their position that every time something goes bad for Russ, they just find a way to feed the beast.

"Telling him the coaches hate you or the front office is trying to get rid of you. Anything to fuel that monster, and give him an enemy."

love it, the other players on the team fucking with russ and stoking his paranoia. nice healthy culture

Telling him the coaches hate you

you love to see it

good luck to whoever the new guy is

The Sacramento Kings won't bring back interim coach Alvin Gentry and are opening up a search for a new head coach, sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) April 11, 2022

a blessing in thinly-veiled disguise for Alvin Gentry

gentrys probably best served as an offensive coordinator on a good coaching staff

This might actually be the craziest NBA story of the moment...and that's saying a whole lot https://t.co/6iYlLwszbx

he should try reawakening onto a basketball court

that's it, i'm voting for Mo Bamba in the next election

Rob Pelinka was asked why Frank Vogel was fired when he didn’t construct the roster and wasn’t responsible for injuries: “Today is not going to be a day of finger-pointing or unwinding all of the various reasons.”

listen here what we're not gonna do today is point the finger at me (lebron) anyone

Russell Westbrook on Frank Vogel: "I'm not sure what his issue was with me."

— Ryan Ward (@RyanWardLA) April 11, 2022

...lol

anxiously waiting the full russ presser to drop.

there’s actually no way of knowing what anyone could have thought russ was doing wrong this year

haha i need to see this interview asap

When @DanWoikeSports mentions that LeBron and AD said many times throughout the year, "Let Russ be Russ," Russell Westbrook immediately responds: "Yeah, but that wasn't true. Let's be honest."

can understand russ being upset considering this is his first time having an issue with someone

well, that answer certainly lacked coherence

That Lonzo Ball walking the plank meme should be in the Louvre.

A great way for Russ to stand up to these guys would be to decline his player option

lets fuckin go

LeBron James would be very enthused by the prospect of Mark Jackson landing the Lakers head coaching job, sources tell @sam_amick.

Jackson, an NBA analyst on ESPN, coached the Warriors from 2011-2014.
