I forgot about that, I think you are right and March 1 is the playoff eligible sign by date.

Pretty sure the rule is that you just have to be a free agent before that date.

Going to walk (of shame) back my Westbrook MVP thoughts. Heard today that in his trouble double games OKC has won 82% of the time.
I'm still annoyed by the media infatuation with an arbitrary stat, and that Westbrook is specifically going for them. But he is helping his team win.
Personally I still hope he doesn't finish top two, but with Durant's injury should probably finish third. But the media is really in love with the triple double thing.

honestly what he is doing is pretty crazy and I don't see why him getting MVP would be a bad thing in any way. Durant is injured, Lebron is Lebron and we don't notice it anymore, Harden has a much better team, etc.. Westbrook being MVP wouldn't shock me one bit.

Here's a guy with an .835% Winning percentage and his team thinks they know more than a 5x champ?
They supposedly liked Luke Waltons laid back style more? Sound familiar - players wanting a more lax coach.
Woj did a great interview with Walton and he does sound very laid back. Luke said he shuts it down at night and goes home like a regular guy to spend time with the family when the Lakers are home. He does not live at the facility like Thibs, encourages players to get away from the court and enjoy life.
Kerr looks kinda strung out IMO and we know he's got big time back issues.
and "Unnamed Warrior" is almost certainly Green
Hoiberg for Kerr swap anyone?

Especially since Kerr let them do it their way last season and they didn't win.
Could definitely be Green, although he might have a big enough voice to say it in public. Still my first guess too though.
Most fans and players would kill to in the Warriors position. And I think most would listen to the 5x champ dude.
Walton definitely seems like he could be a rare coach that doesn't wear on his players.

29/7/5 today, and it's not the first time he's put up a statline like that. Dude's a beast and the clear ROY imo.

He's been starting for a few games now. Looks like he's figuring out where to be lately. Taj is going to be big for them in the playoffs.

Taj is starting and OKC is 4-0 when he starts. He is the ultimate glue guy and somehow he knows where to be. I watched a couple of his games...his plus-minus stats are great in the last few games. His P & R defense is unique for a big and not many big guys can play P & R defense like him and that's what most teams run. It is a very under-rated part of his defense.

i never understood the hate he got from a few on this board, Taj has been great relative to his contract his entire tenure here in Chicago.
