Holy crap @ the Wolves news. Hoiberg is a Thibs killer.

Ingram & Hart are very likely nothing to write home about.

Didn't he replace Thibbs in Chi? maybe I'm wrong.

Pretty sure.

Also, he did a really bad job from what I could tell.

Sounds like Hoiberg isn't in their plans, they are going to give Flip Saunders' son the chance to coach the rest of the year. Good, I'm happy for him. Hopefully he does well enough to earn the full time job

I saw that and that is my take as well. Feel good story now and they can do a full search at season's end as needed.

Kemba has been in his Steph Curry bag this season. He's been ridiculous

Who saw that shot at the end of the game he just threw in the air even though the game was over but he still made it? Lol

Hold up, hold up....
Somebody help me understand this Mccaw situation.
They paid a guy 2M guaranteed money, got him in the gym and then said “forget it”??

We go back and forth here with our zany trade ideas and the rationale behind it and truth be told a lot of us would be better fit to run some of these organizations.

Why’d they sign him? To make nice with his agent?
I’m totally confused. Did he walk in the gym all Tony Clifton’d up with two hookers and coke on his collar, stink of cheap booze the day after depositing the check talking in the third person?

Please explain what was the logic of this.
Is there some odd CBA loophole that helps them financially at play here I just don’t understand?

Great reference. BTW, as I'm sure you realize, there are some hilarious interviews from the cast of Taxi, looking back on the time that "Tony Clifton" was hired to play the part of Louie DePalma's brother.

They're all great, though of course Marilu Henner's is the best, because, well, she remembers every last detail.

Courtesy of NBA Twitter:

Basically, the Cavs did McCaw and his agent a favor by offering him a non-guaranteed contract knowing the Warriors couldn't afford to match, and by waiving him soon after he went from being a restricted free agent to now being an unrestricted free agent.

Portis ... that’s a rotten core.

Bet you wouldn't say that to his face.
