I'm glad to hear that Darvin may finally be getting serious consideration for a job.

It might also the be the end of a surprisingly long career.

I expect him to return as he's only 34 years old. With his skillset he has another couple of productive seasons left. My expectations are that he will put in the work and become even a better shooter during his recovery.

I've noticed that Travis Schlenk rarely goes the international route with draftees, but seems more willing to acquire vets with Euro backgrounds. (Capela, Gallinari, Bogdan)

Anyone know anything about this guy?
Should we have interest in obtaining his rights?

I can't help but notice that half of these guys came from the 2017, 2018 or 2019 draft classes.

Young guys making their presences felt on the defensive half of the courts.

I'm excited that Darvin may finally get a head coaching gig, but a first time HC taking over the Lakers seems like a double edged sword.

Feels like PHX is prepping for a trade:

Lebron must have someone he's comfortable with and he has ties to Darvin. I don't wish the Lakers well so hope Coach Ham receives more offers.

I’m curious to see what D Ham will put in place with a flawed Lakers roster.

Code: Select all

Ham has been a part of one of the league's most successful coaching trees under Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer -- including Memphis' Taylor Jenkins, Utah's Quin Snyder and Golden State Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson. Ham spent nine seasons with Budenholzer in Atlanta and Milwaukee, including winning the 2021 NBA championship together.

"I'm so happy for him," Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo told ESPN, referring to Ham. "He's the right fit for them. He keeps it real with you. No BS at all. It's about damn time. He deserves it more than anyone."

"The Cavaliers want to retain Collin Sexton," Scotto said on the HoopsHype podcast. "He's going to demand starting guard money, I'm told."

Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com agreed on Sexton's price point but noted that Cleveland may not be comfortable paying the 23-year-old's asking price.

"My sources tell me at the end of the Sexton negotiations, the two sides were kicking around Bogdan Bogdanovic money, so around $18 million annually," Fedor told Scotto. "I get the sense that the Cavs are more comfortable in the range of $15-18 million (annually). I think Collin is looking more in the range of $18-22 million (annually)."

If Sexton and the Cavs can't come to an agreement, a sign-and-trade could be the result. One executive told Scotto that Cleveland could use Sexton as trade bait.

Due to his injuries I believe many people have forgotten about how good of s scorer Sexton is. He was having a rough patch in Cleveland with issues with Kevin Love when Kevin was sitting out a couple of seasons ago. I hope Sexton finds a new home.

I look forward to the day we finally have a coach who can have this conversation mid-game with Trae -- and it mean something.

No ego.

No hurt feelings. Just honesty.

Udoka certainly saw Pop doing such a thing several times during the 7 years there :wink:
