Alright fine we can do 1 assistant coach each :D but it counts as your FA for the day (even though of course it doesn't affect your cap situation), so you can still change it if you want.

Also, you can have anywhere from 12 to 15 players under contract so you don't need to sign free agents if you don't want, or if it would hurt your cap picture.

The Bucks free agent signing for today will be Zaza Pachulia, a hard-nose defensive center with an attitude...

Miklo, I am taking him over Erden at this point.

The Blazers have announced the signing of AJ Price. They are pleased to welcome another young back court player who will spend much of his time on the pine learning and will be a security in case of injury. The Blazers will also send Price to the d-league at times to keep him in shape and playing.

I'm not picking up any players in Free Agency. Just an assistant coach. Did some research and came up with this guy
TIM GRGURICH
I think he is definetly one of the best assistants out there. Huge to have a guy like this on our coaching staff.


Image

I'm stealing this article and photo from the knicks board

http://www.nba.com/2010/news/features/s ... h.feature/

These days, Grgurich's camp is institutionalized enough that NBA teams pick up the expenses for their young players to attend and generally have coaches or personnel men drop in to chart progress. Grugrich doesn't charge the players for their participation.

With Sanders, the Bucks are hoping the rookie can pick up a few defensive habits to boost his rebounding and help center Andrew Bogut inside. The sorts of things that might get neglected once training camp revs up and the hectic regular season follows.

"As many years as I've been in the game, what I've seen is there is no better way for personal growth than camps," Hammond said. "I can't say I've known anybody where he's come back and you immediately say, 'This is going to be the difference-maker in his career.' But it's one of those experiences that can only help."

Help early and help late. Boston's Paul Pierce was still going to Grgurich's camp in 2004, by which time Pierce had logged six NBA seasons and appeared in three All-Star Games.

"This is probably the best workout that I'm going to get this summer, as far as being around coaches and other talented players," Pierce told the Globe then. "I always say I've got to be here. ... I'm not overly fast, I'm not jumping higher than everybody out here, but they're teaching the game, angles, and how to read different situations."

It also gives vets such as Pierce the chance to check out the competition, the youngsters who covet his job. And jobs are part of what attracts NBA assistant coaches, with fellows such as Mike Brown, Dwane Casey, John Kuester, Lionel Hollins and others boosting their profile while adding to their personal databases.

The Memphis Grizzlies would like to sign

Image

Solomon Alabi!

A huge defensive presence, who solidifies our teams front court a bit more. Alabi feels like the type of player that we could send to the D-League to develop during the season, and bring up if we had an injury or needed more big bodies. Just too big and strong to pass on.

Forgot to mention, you can sign anyone even if they are international and no NBA team holds their rights.

You sure? The judging on the draft will be coming up, all you have to do is post your rotation etc for that part...by now you don't have to be checking every hour or anything since the draft is done. Just a thought.

Wow, nobody took D'A! He's all yours, probably better as an assistant anyway so the HC can play young players

Sweet! A Scott Brooks/D'A combo (if they can work together :lol: ) would be killer. Especially with my team :D
