stashing assets for the 2023 nba offseason

btw bronny is a top prospect now after being borderline before

for sure it's hard to know what LeBron's goals even are right now, outside of winning another one to get closer to Jordan there's nothing left for him to do

and I hate that his son's name is "Bronny". it sounds a lot like "Brony". I wish he was just named "LeBron 2"

"Your kid's name sucks, man."

for sure it's hard to know what LeBron's goals even are right now, outside of winning another one to get closer to Jordan there's nothing left for him to do

i would be shocked if he actually retires but would like to think his comments after the game were sincere, and a recognition that he went as hard as he could in this series and in the closeout game, and it didn't get them particularly close to the promised land.

yeah his goals are to chill and play for the lakers. if he really backseat-GMed them into last year's awful team then he's hurt his career a bit that way but he hasn't hurt it on the court

Daily News | Former Sixers coach Doc Rivers is set to interview for Phoenix Suns job https://t.co/yKDGNojuaf

he wouldnt be getting all these jobs if people knew he wasnt really a doctor

lol as i said before its funny when a bunch of moderately successful teams fire their coaches and then all hire each others coaches becuase they want an experienced guy just not the one who lost them their last playoffs

it is ridiculous, tho it seems like nurse quit and imo hes actually good so whoever gets him wins this years coach carousel

There are rumblings that Nash may end up coaching Toronto?

with doc especially, i'm not sure what teams think they are getting from him at this point. i guess if you feel like you're a contender you don't want to roll the dice on somebody's top assistant is the though process, but man idk.

the team that has been down 30 points at halftime in each of its last two elimination games hiring doc rivers would be very powerful

going with a first time head coach (instead of Doc or Bud) seems like a higher ceiling move. Nick Nurse had no pedigree when he was hired.

lol i didnt know doc won coach of the year in 2000 for...getting the orlando magic to a .500 record? was there more to the story than that

lol

Despite the extreme lengths to which O’Neal has gone to avoid the (FTX) lawsuit, he was apparently able to have a laugh about it Tuesday night. The TNT broadcast had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar present Curry, the Atherton housing policy enthusiast, with the NBA’s Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Social Justice Champion award before the game.

“Steph, I don’t have a question,” O’Neal said. “We know where you come from: Your father is a class act, your mother is a class act — her and my mother are friends, they speak highly of you. I speak highly of you. You’re my favorite player. I just want to say, congratulations, my brother, and thanks for getting me in trouble. Don’t say nothing,” he said to a laughing Curry. “Be quiet.” Charles Barkley quickly bailed the segment out with a question about golf.

six years!

dang

i guess the hope is that he coaches them all the way back to contention in that span

every other coach sending that tweet and the eyes emoji to their agent

feel like this trend of reporting coach salaries will lead to some regrets

teams limiting their spending on player salaries bcuz of the new CBA will be a great development for the coaches

the never-before-seen coach supermax

pop getting a one year $40M extension/retirement parachute

uhh

Adam Silver on Ja Morant: “We’ve uncovered a fair amount of additional information. We probably could have brought it to a head now, but we’ve made the decision that it would be unfair to these players and these teams to announce that decision in the middle of this series.”
