Shaw or Malone hopefully.


I'd like to see Hornacek get a shot actually. Imagine what he could do for JJ. The man knows his basketball and has digested it correctly for years now. I think he would make a great coach.


you want to base a head coach hire, on what he can do for a 6th man? :o

I found this on TBN. It's a quote from Ric Bucher in response to today's events:

The Lakers are as far as being able to deal for Dwight. Dwight's stance has not changed, in light of today's news.

Magic are now faced with trading Howard for Bynum, who also said he won't sign an extension. Basically trading one big man for another unless they get the Rockets together. That 3 team deal from last night, that won't work for LA either.

Magic are back to the drawing board at this point and dare I say, I don't know for a fact, but talks about Howard trying to challenge the legality of him opting in for this year that he was given improper inducements. My guess is they'll pursue legalities to get out of his Magic contract.
I like this team

Enlarged is the realest part of the post.

Howard already dismissed the "blackmail" stuff. How is there a case without him? Try to go to court and they have his quote stating that it wasn't true. umm, no.
Woj is the new Bucher. Shams is the new Woj. Espn is the new TMZ. The NBA is the new WWE.
Boo.

I kinda hope he does try it. Should be high comedy.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Maalik Wayns is leaving to play for the Warriors.

Damn, I hope this isn't true.

For the warriors in the Vegas league. More exposure = more leverage in negotiations if he keeps up the production. We didn't draft him. We don't own his rights.

We need a backup PG more than GS does, especially with Ish gone. I think we could well see him back.

gotcha. Thanks.

Warriors just picked up Jarrett Jack too. "Sources" say Spurs liked him a lot. If they like someone, better grab him before they do, lol.

+1 haha. I love how Henny is trolling the suitors by taking it so slow and calm, and then saying nope, none good enough. Hopefully one of them puts up a proper offer by Deadline, but I'm more inclined to make Dwight play it out.

He could still go there, he'd just lose a ton of money. What I don't get is why he wouldn't want to go to LA. Kobe, Gasol, Nash...why doesn't he want to go there? Yeah, they're all in their twilight years, but they could rebuild around Dwight or he could go elsewhere. The only reason I can think of is that he doesn't want to do the exact same thing as Shaq. That's the only reason I can possibly think of.

Dallas

With a 35 year old Dirk and.......? I'd be more worried about Houston/Cleveland unless Dallas can pull off another all-star somehow.
