Ime Udoka still an assistant and Mr. Becky is still around.
Ah nevermind. He went with the Clippers. That blows.
So wait, is Timmy D going to be an assistant again? Because if he leaves, I don't see a good replacement?

Ime is with the Nets...
As an assistant coach. Pop ain’t leaving yet.
I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say initially. I wasn't talking about a replacement for Pop. I was talking about a replacement for Tim as our assistant coach. Who will replace Tim as an assistant coach if he isn't one next year?
Sorry I misunderstood. Yeah, I don’t think TD is coming back. They might call up their G-league coach. Maybe give TP or Manu a turn.
Their Gleague coach is gone. He went to another team already.
Yeah, plus solid range shooter, "good character"/leader and we're really talking about a contract that runs 1.5 years longer than Aldridge's and won't prevent them from doing anything.
I could absolutely see them having interest for all of this plus the draft capital they could extract for taking his albatross on.
The "plan" would be to continue along the same path, only with more assets (he isn't changing their fortunes). They'd need to turn DeRozan into a featured perimeter type though. One possibility would be utilizing the draft capital to attempt to move up to 4-5 for Avdija, another would be . . .
To Clippers: DeRozan
To Magic: Beverley, Williams
To Spurs: Fournier, Kabengele
Well said.
That lac trade is just bad. Your taking two players who play the same position as our promising youth.
Huh? Which promising youth plays center?
If this Hortford rumor is true then this front office is beyond redemption and we all need to find a new team to cheer for

If either side provides notice by Nov. 6, the CBA will terminate by December 14 — unless the parties agree otherwise.

There's still a gulf between NBA and NBPA on a start date for the 2020-2021 season, sources tell ESPN. NBA wants pre-Christmas; NBPA still preferring mid-January. Economic issues remain significant, including escrow withholding on player salaries w/ revenues down b/c of no fans.
I dont see why the NBA does not start later aka Jan/Feb and then put a break in for Olympics and come back and play the PO. This would push back next season but gives them more games this year and does not have them rushing back players. In some ways it would take the place of the AS break. or do an all star break during that time of players not int he Olympics. gives more players the ability to play.
NBA and it’s tv agreements (ESPN & TNT) want no part of basketball during football season, they need to find a way to get back onto their old schedule. It’s gonna be tough but I think the players are gonna have to agree to the December start, if they tear up the bargaining agreement the players will be screwed
That would be three distorted seasons. They’re trying both to reset to normal, and not miss the Christmas TV ratings bonanza. That’s big dollars they’re passing up, and will cost the players plenty.
I don’t know that it’s so much battling football. I buy league pass but not nfl ticket. Yes I’m one person but I won’t pay for one day a week vs every day that nba gives. I do agree players should pick up the December slot. I haven’t missed time through all this. I’ve been at work so people can eat and not go as crazy. My job has about 80% the amount of employees as nba players, but in one location. We deal with the public also. It’s up to them how much they want to get paid. 72 or 50. I won’t look down on any that skip Olympics. But this is their job. Up to them if they want to get paid
NFL is three days a week, and when college football ends four: Sunday, Monday, Thursday, and eventually Saturday.
Lou and bev
Maybe. Again I’m one person. But don’t watch Thursday unless for some reason my team plays. A lot of tv and movies were put on hold. Compe ion is down in general.
Yes, but the NBA allows someone to watch games continuously from 7:00 to 1:00 Eastern on most days of the week during the regular season, usually with multiple games going at once. All NFL days but Sunday usually have only one game.
If what someone wants is constant action and doesn't really care if it's basketball or football, NBA League Pass is a no-brainer choice over NFL Ticket.
A Bengals Dolphins game won’t screw a Lakers bucks game on a Thursday
I agree.
Nobody pays more for Monday, Thursday, or the later season Saturdays for nfl. . Shows like for instance the walking dead go around December and January not because of football only, it’s family events and holidays which nba has proven to be successful at
I agree with you on the Christmas games being lost would be big. I think they could deal with this disjointed season as they would know when it is coming back and also would get fans into arena for PO possibly. I also know the NBA does not want the late season but I do still think December would be a better start in a normal year.
