Lakers hire Luke Walton as their next coach. That should be interesting.

Gonna be a rough transition from the talent they have in GS to that group in LA haha.

True that, but it'll be nice to see what he can do with the young talent they have in Russell, Randle, and Clarkson

Reports say the Lakers want to trade their pick, even if it's the 1st. We might be able to get Simmons after all ?

The 1st overall pick is going to cost a **** ton.

Better hope they don't hire a Hoiberg.

And Curry becomes the first unanimous MVP in NBA history

 

[Enasic]

After last night's game, that should seal any debate about being worthy of the unanimous selection. My goodness...

What a season, man. I'm legitimately upset it's almost over. I can only imagine what it's like for Warriors fans.

I got a bad feeling that Lebron is going to Hakeem Olajuwon Steph and GSW this time.
Cleveland looks ready.

Don't let the sweeps deceive you

That would require the Warriors to be inexperienced and choke artists.

Detroit played them tough. Atlanta is a joke when it comes to the playoffs. They just dont have enough fire power. Also, the Cavs arent the Warriors. They will not keep shooting 3's at a ridiculous rate. they also have been inconsistent all year.

Nate McMillan has been named Pacers head coach.

Stotts supposedly offered 5 year 20M deal to stay with Blazers...I think that's actually a pay decrease

 

[Axl Rose]

Skiles quit

well thats it for him in this league. thats 2 teams he quit on and he technically quit on the Bulls aswell but Pax convinced him to stay a bit longer then just ended up firing him

can't see why anybody would want to work with him anymore if hes gonna quit as soon as things get testy or doesn't get his way...good theory: Skiles wanted to sell the farm for Butler and management didn't

Skiles noted in his statement that they had different ideas on the direction of the team and the fact that Butler has been linked to the Magic i think thats a pretty good one

 

[clonetrooper264]

In other coaching news Jeff Hornacek is going to be the new Knicks coach while Vogel will likely take the Magic job

Vogel Agrees in Principle to Deal with Magic
Breaking: Knicks will hire Jeff Hornacek as head coach, per NBA source.

Brett Brown: Joel Embiid has a 'chance' to play in the NBA Summer League

Stotts has done a very good job with that Blazer team...that offer is less than what Hoiberg got as a 1st time coach coming from college. 5/25 for Freddy. I'd gladly trade coaches.
