Around the NBA part 2 - Save Melo from Brodie

I’m sure Zion is enjoying the dysfunction of the David Griffin experience.

Did you see what Gentry said to him? Amazing.

If Ben Simmons can be fined for missing games in Philly with an unclear mental health issue, then the Houston Rockets should surely be fined by the NBA for a healthy John Wall missing games and potentially the entire season in a shameless tank effort.

The worst part of this (and what the Thunder did last year) was that the Knicks tried this with Noah and the NBPA basically threatened them through the media to the point where they were forced to stretch him. NYK could have held firm I guess and eventually bullied Noah into just staying at home... but when the league is calling you out you don't really have a choice.

Yet crickets for this chit. The double standard is real.

New Orleans Pelicans executive vice president David Griffin had a confrontation with Alvin Gentry, their former coach, after a recent game against the Sacramento Kings, per Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer.

Griffin fired Gentry at the end of the 2019-20 season, following the Pelicans' disappointing showing in the NBA bubble, and replaced him with Stan Van Gundy in October of 2020. Eight months later, Van Gundy was gone, with first-year coach Willie Green in his place, a fact that Gentry, reportedly noted during this exchange on Oct. 29.

According to Bleacher Report, Griffin greeted Gentry, now Luke Walton's lead assistant in Sacramento, and things went south quickly. Gentry apparently hadn't been pleased to hear that, in his last season with the Pelicans, Griffin had remarked, "I give Alvin all the answers to the test, and he still fails," as reported by NOLA.com's Christian Clark in September.

From Bleacher Report:

After the Kings defeated the Pelicans 113-109 on Oct. 29, Griffin approached Gentry in the bowels of Smoothie King Center to offer a warm hello to his former head coach, yet Gentry brushed off his initial efforts as inauthentic.

From there, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the incident, Griffin denied the findings of the NOLA.com article, particularly his "answers to the test" line, and the notion that he played piano for Williamson during the team's bubble stay in Disney World.

Gentry responded with his own choice words, noting how his eventual replacement, Stan Van Gundy, who was also fired after one season in New Orleans, finished just one game better (31-41) than the Pelicans did under Gentry (30-42) the year he was let go. "You must not have given Stan the answers to the test, either," Gentry shouted at Griffin, according to multiple sources, and the two men had to be physically separated.

Maxey is legit, he's definitely going to be a 20ppg scorer in the future.

I wanted Edwards badly. I had started a “Tank for Edwards” thread after we had lost opening night to the Spurs a few yrs back. But the idea got shot down bc folks thought we had something with Marcus Morris and Bobby Portis lol

[NoDopeOnSundays]

Fred VanVleet is too nice, remember all of you calling him Fred VanFelton? Good times, you all deserve Fournier/Kemba.

Knicks get the lesser Kentucky player. Again.

I find that it's all about how you approach Scott with an idea.

I put them neck and neck, Maxety is the better athlete IQ the more clutch shooter.
