How do you get fired after a blowout win? Lol

Wolves are up there as the worst run franchise on the planet....

You let go of butler. you fire your coach... but you give a bazillion dollars to wiggins who is trash and towns the leagues biggest cancer... both who could not possibly care less about effort or winning.

so glad we have a great cutlure, front office, coaching, and young players

I don't have the same disdain for KAT, in fact I feel like he gets labeled soft a little too strongly and often. Some of the stuff is legit, but it's overblown and twisted some imho.

[MrDollarBills]

Thibs brought some of that on himself with how he poorly he handled the Butler situation and also he continues to run his players into the ground minutes wise. But yeah, Minnesota seems very dysfunctional right now.

lol can't wait til we finish the season with a better record than the Sucktics and we meet them in the playoffs. I am going to troll the living ish out of them

Anyone else find it kind of funny the Thunder are retiring Nick Collison's number?

I honestly don't think I'd want Kyrie. He's passionate, and can be moody, and that's fine, but he also seems stuck inside his own little world a lot. A little bit headstrong, and a little prone to go off on borderline incomprehensible rambles, for example. True, that's kind of a side-rant, but...

One thing I really like about pretty much everyone on the Nets is their sense of humility, dedication to the group, and openness to learning / improving. I would hate to see Kyrie (or anyone else) come along and mess with that dynamic, and for the Nets to be stuck with them on a large contract or whatever.

I see Kyrie has learned from LeBron on how to lead a team. Freak out over every loss. Blame everyone else. Throw the young guys under the bus. Cause disfunction.

That stuff is cute when youre the best team in the conference by far with the best player in the world. With the Raptors, Bucks, and Sixers right there - this stuff is just going to tear the team apart.

A good leader there is happy with the shot Tatum took and tells him he'll knock it down next time.

that was a dumbass pass by Heyward that **** up the whole play

after years of watching Deron not give a rat's asss one way or another after losses, it's refreshing to see a player who holds the coach and his teammates accountable

and its cute watching you critique the leadership of NBA Champion Kyrie Irving and arguably the greatest player in NBA history Lebron James from your laptop in favor of Jayson Tatum lmao

Team was already torn apart... young kids with huge egos who think they dont need kyrie or heyward... guys who think they are better then they are. meanwhile every single one of tatum, browm, rozier has taken a big step back and the team is now a 5 seed (who sucked on the road in the playoffs last year).

they NEED a shakeup. desperately.

Didn't you get the memo? Having a meltdown, berating your teammates in public and cursing out the coach are signs of an elite leader and a fierce competitor.

I can't wait til we punt D'Angelo Russell out of here in the summer, sign Kyrie Irving to a max deal so we can see him curse Kenny Atkinson out for calling plays that he doesn't like or carrying on like a baby, flailing his arms about and whining when Jarrett Allen or Rodi Kurics makes a mistake.

It's one thing to be apathetic, it's another thing to lose your composure and conducting yourself in an unprofessional manner. Neither of these things are signs of leadership.

I love LeBron as a player but as a leader, he directly created a toxic environment in Cleveland. Every year was full of a ton of drama. Every single year after he came back from Miami. I don't think that helped the team but if you're cool with it - cool.

And it's cute that you're on your laptop criticizing the decision making of former All Star Gordon Hayward and the play calling of Brad Stevens

[Rich Rane]

Brook with the double-double. I'll always be ecstatic for him when he succeeds.

Marc Gasol and Conley are officially available, be very interesting to see where they wind up.

its going to be hard to trade either. conley has 3/95 remaining. Gasol 2/50.

I can see the hornets going all in on Gasol cause thats totally an MJ move and they want to keep Kemba at all costs.

i cant see anywhere for conley. just too huge a contract. hard to match 32 million in salary, let alone have it be worth it value wise. even if they basically gave you conley for free, thats a tough pill to swallow. maybe the wizards? Wall/porter for Gasol/Conley

Conley
Beal
Satoransky
Ariza
Gasol

gets them out of Walls contract right before his supermax kicks in and they dump porters awful deal. gets them a team that could get them to the playoffs. longterm they get out of cap hell 2 years sooner.

for the grizz they put a fresh coat of paint on and hope the fans buy on porter/wall

Wizards definitely came to mind. Charlotte too.

Detroit as well.

Celtics for Gasol.

The Bucks for either.

Portland for Gasol.

Conley to the Jazz?

[MrDollarBills]

Memphis is in bad shape. Any GM that trades for Conley's contract is begging to be fired.
