And yes Barea and Chandler are being invited to summer league and training cap to see if coaching is a fit. Cuban stating Barea has a job here doing something period if he wants it.

Also lots of puffery on KP as to be expected.

Imagine so, though Mobley should have just been the coach as Kidd's already proven he's just not good at it

Our offense was a lot more aesthetically pleasing when Igor was here. I think he'd be a good addition, and at some point he should get another shot at a head coaching gig.

Yeah not sure if I believe that, but regardless Blazers are having a rough start to the off-season PR wise.

pick #13 or a pick in the 13th round?

13 is Indiana . They either have very good rapport with each other to joke like that or houston has went off the rail.

Goes to show you even with the resurgence of centers in the NBA, the Americans are pretty light. I'd have rather seen Plumlee who I believe has been in the system in the past? go as he seems tailor made for international games.

Wood apparently wanted to be a part of the Olympic team, probably forgetting someone but he seems like the best option and would be great with the shorter three point line. Maybe they wanted some bulk I guess but JaVale isn't the biggest guy

Yeah I was focusing on guys who had been in the system before because that seems like a big deal to them, but Wood is a better option if they think he can pick stuff up right away.

Has Javale been a part of tea usa stuff in the past? Even beyond wood, would imagine a lot of other guys out there

JaVale with FIBA goaltending rules >>>

No but seriously I'm sure there aren't too many people willing to change their summer plans at the last minute to go to the covid bubble Olympics and play for a team that will be ridiculed if/when it fails to win gold.

Shams and Woj both reporting Barton is opting out. Must feel like he has Denver over a barrel with their guard situation because I can't imagine he gets $15M anywhere else.

Shams also has Jared Butler now medically cleared to play less than 2 weeks before the draft.

I think it might be more than the just the money. Denver fans can speak in more detail about it, but he's been butting heads with the coaching staff re his role for a while..

Shams and Woj both reporting though that both sides are excited about a new deal this summer so sounds more like he has the leverage.

Almost 31, so maybe opting out of 1/15 in hopes for a 4/50 or something? :dontknow:
