re: Lakers pursuing Dan Hurley

David Blatt is also the counter to "results matter." Blatt coached the Cavs to the Finals in year one and was fired in year 2 mid-season when Cavs had the EC best record. What matters is whatever LeBron thinks. What Lebron seems like it'd matter for the Lakers. How much faith does LeBron *really*...

[quote]I think Hurley will be the exception. Like Donovan most of his players have some NBA pedigree. Hes not just recruiting coach but a great tactical coach unlike Pitino. He also isn’t a huge control freak. Saban and Spurrier were control freaks and football is different. Now the Lakers are a to...

From a candidate that played in NBA but has no head coaching experience but is around NBA all the time to a candidate has neither played nor coached in the NBA but has multiple NCAA championships. That's quite a difference. I think it's really risky for the Lakers. Hiring coaches with limited pr...
[quote]Boy, I can tell 99% of you didn’t even bother to look into what’s happening. They’ve been asking for documents for 6 months and have yet to receive them, and while waiting they were still making their payments, so after 6 months they are now using the only leverage they have. Every single ...
How many hot seat coaches ever get off the hot seat without being fired or resigning? Rephrased, how many hot seat coaches ever turn it around? ...
I've never heard of Sunrise, Florida. He mistakenly said the wrong city but it really only supports the point that few people know where the Panthers play. ...
If BI signs and extension is there a period that he cannot be traded? Or is that only for signed free agents but not extensions? Either way I'm not sure it really matters and I don't think they'd immediately trade him if signing an extension. ...

His touches would be closer than 25-30 feet. 15ish feet off screens would be great so he can immediately shoot or at least work less. ...
It's also a skill to draw fouls. It's been something to see Thunder fans complain about Luka when they have SGA. ...
[quote]I would imagine there is some contractual stuff preventing those guys from just going to the competition.[/quote] They also may have clauses that their contracts that they can be opt out if Turner loses NBA rights. Of course that may have one been unimaginable so who knows if their agents ...
Trey and Hawk were both rookies under Willie and Hawk saw more games as a rookie than Trey and played more minutes per game than Trey when Hawkins had more guys to compete against for minutes. I don't know if Hawk will end up a nice piece but I don't think his playing time this year should be held a...

[quote]He didn’t say this out loud but seemed like its lot of pressure for him to create.[/quote] The pay for shooters who create is different than pay for people who are mostly only shooters. One is paid max and the other is paid like Tyler Herro ($120M/4)....

Do yall expect Griff to come out and say that the team is capped and changes absolutely have to be made? Anyone really think he's going to trash BI? You think Griff's going to say he's looking to make trades and thus back himself into a corner when negotiating with other teams? People are making p...
[quote]Presti is going to turn some of those picks and guys like Williams or Dort into superstar running mates for SGA. Meanwhile, Griff wasted 2 1st rounders getting us onto and off of Steven Adams.[/quote] I think what's happened with the Suns, Lakers, and even Clippers being top heavy and losi...

[quote]He shut SGA down game 1[/quote] The biggest criticism about Trey is that he's wildly inconsistent. He looks like a building block one game and like the 8th man the next game. ...

Up 5 with ball on 2 on 1 to a missed shot, given up 2 offensive rebounds and 2 points, turnover, given up 3. So many times we keep shooting selves on the foot. ...
