2022 NBA OFF SEASON DRAFT FREE AGENCY TAMPERING ETC

lmao

otm

whos in charge over there

Phil Jackson is advising the Lakers on their coaching search, @espn reports.

— Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) May 3, 2022

the lakers squeezed out a title in a weird year thanks to lebron wanting to move to LA and klutch arranging the brow trade in which the lakers traded everything under the sun. but it seems pretty clear at this point that it's a poorly run organization that lets all sorts of lakers "family" (kobe's agent, magic, phil, jeanie) have a say in the decision making process w/o there being a real power structure led by someone who actually knows how to run a basketball team

the lakers must run the triangle it's their only path back to success

dont forget kurt rambis xp

kurt rambis pops up when you least expect

turns out taking half a season off isnt a good idea

"I never felt like I was 'back.' ... I never felt like myself throughout this season."

haha weird

Brooklyn Nets say Ben Simmons will undergo surgery on his back on Thursday.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) May 4, 2022

doesnt sound great

Ah well nevertheless

doing the jim from the office look at the camera thing

Brooklyn Nets' Ben Simmons is expected to need 3-to-4 months to make a full recovery on back surgery, sources tell ESPN. The expectation is that he'll be ready to return well ahead of training camp.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) May 4, 2022

back surgery is just one of those things that goes great and leads to returning well ahead of training camp

im sure ben simmons will do all he can to ensure a swift return to playing basketball an activity he loves

i dont believe annnything about this guy so imo hes faking surgery so he has an excuse to not play next year and collect his check

yeah i increasingly think simmons has played his last minute of nba basketball already

Love 2 fake surgery to avoid FTs.

what if hes actually getting surgery to avoid fts

Savage.

that is the second option yes

mostly i just love being a 6'11" 25 year old having major back surgery

better than being a basketball player

buss it

The Lakers are conducting their initial wave of interviews over Zoom. They anticipate interviewing 8-10 candidates. Coaches are speaking with Jeanie Buss, Rob Pelinka, Kurt Rambis, Jesse Buss and Joey Buss https://t.co/LMOJ2aePcH

jesse and joe are two great failson names

joey*

imagine having to talk about coaching, like in depth, and all your plans and ideas, and the one person out of 5 with an actual basketball background is kurt f'n rambis

our boys with the big guy

Magic: "The new coach of the Lakers will need to work with Lebron and AD - but those are two all-stars to build with."

lmao

have we discussed how magic apparently has a guy follow him around to type and post the tweets for him

need an ILHer to go undercover and get that job

The Sacramento Kings have agreed with Golden State assistant Mike Brown on a four-year contract to become the franchise’s next coach, sources tell ESPN.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) May 8, 2022

I think that’s a good move but man we got close to getting jax out the booth

we’re gonna be stuck with him forever, we need a pastor needy megachurch to drop the bag

ah well its gonna be hard for mjax to another coaching job considering how psycho he behaved in gs

is mike brown really The Guy You need oh well it's the kings what truly can be done

out of curiosity are there any high-profile defenders of mjax? like any reputable nba writer or whoever who’s written in support of his work in the booth

you could do a lot worse than mike brown. and there is still time for the lakers to pick up mjax

oh man thats the dream and they might be the only team that would actually do it too

sac would actually do it they just didn't this time

i think that any org that employs basketball people will not do it because the basketball people will throw a fit to stop it, the lakers however do not employ basketball people and also will do what lebron wants

saw the lakers interviewed stotts and that seems like a real sure why not sort of hire which is the main modern lakers move

Feeling really let down about Jackson not getting the Kings job, would have been a lot of ILH fun
