They need to make a splash or something with publicity. Nate was a horrid hire. Literally no one knew him, no one cared he was hired, there was no hype... It was a dud all around. I'm thinking Becky Hammon. I mean why not? You'll get a crap ton of great coverage. 

And I've never read about the Ezeli thing. I'm sure it was terrible. 

Basically the Ezeli thing went something like this. Given this is an abbreviated account of everything that happened:

 

Exeli was injured for an extended period of time at one point. During this time Jackson decided to tell the other players to actively avoid interacting with Ezeli. At the same time he was telling other players that Ezeli did not like them. At the same time Jackson was telling Ezeli that the other players didn't want anything to do with him and didn't care for him. After a while Ezeli apparently approached the other players and they figured out what was going on. 

 

I know it sounds insane and the stupid **** you'd expect from kids. But its been verified by multiple players and personel within the organization that it actually happened

Apparebtly Minnesota and Charlotte both really want Turner. Don't want anything from Minnesota unless they get their first this year and they want to include that in a trade, 

 

Washington + 11 seems fair I suppose

As of right now, Golden State has Minnesotas pick right? From the Wiggins trade? Charlotte really doesn't have anything outside of Ball.

Miles Bridges was lighting it up the last 20 or so games. I think he could be really good.

Yah. Its top 4 protected. So if they get lucky they'll get the pick, but as of rn GS is gonna get it. 

Washington is fine, Monk is fine, Bridges is fine. I mostly just want their first this year

I'd say if we trade Turner, then go 100% on the rebuild and trade everyone. Brogdon is really the only guy I want to get rid of. There is a reason Milwaukee didn't care he left.

They'll never go full rebuild. I'm fine with trading Brogdon, I prefer Caris. I want them to breal up Myles/Domas. I prefer Myles, but the fanbsse likes Domas too much. Also worth noting if they want to go the rebuild route Brian Shaw is almost 100% gonna get the HC job

There is a lot of stuff about why Brogdon and Milwaukee parted ways. Obviously the financial stuff. But also there were a lot of people within the organization that wanted him on the court when he was 90-95%, and he didn't want to be out there unless he was 100%. I find it hard to believe that Milwaukee would ever take Bledsoe over Brogdon in a vaccum. Probably would have preserved some more assets if they still sought out the Jrue trade too.

Id rather keep Turner over Sabonis. Brogdon just can't stay healthy. But a rebuild would be awesome.

I think my favorite player in the entire draft is Suggs. As for where the Pacers are... Davion Mitchell, Kai Jones, Ziare Williams, Josh Hidden, Ayo.

Good lord Chris Paul just did the most amazing back spin pass to himself.

And Jokic with the cheap shot frustration foul on Payne. He GONE!

GREAT playoff basketball intensity today, with great crowds in Milwaukee and Denver

Twitter hyperventilating over Michael Malone’s comments about Chris Paul is something to behold. Read a guy who said he isn’t top10 all-time, which is, of course, nuts, because he doesn’t have a ring. Among the guy’s top 10: Stockton. Sorry, but once you start talking about Magic, Isiah, Oscar and those guys, and Paul is absolutely 1 of those guys, the distinctions are so fine as to be meaningless.

NBA twitter in general is just hot takes. Some of the takes on there are mind melting. Saw one a week ago arguing that Drummond was the DPOY. The guy who couldn’t get off the bench for significant minutes when his team was getting run off the court was the DPOY, lol

Strictly NBA fans are absolutely goofs honestly.

NBE gonna NBE, it’s like they’re scared of the product if they don’t control it so tightly.

As good as Giannis is you just can’t fully trust him in the playoffs. Missed FTs and that dropped pass were killers. He doesn’t have the skills to get a bucket when you need it like a KD or Luka does. 

[KingPG21]

KD is probably the best player in the league 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

KD is probably the best player in the league 

Offensively he has been for a while. Injuries and defense set him back some, but he’s always been “underrated”.

Lol Philly. I turned the game off midway through the third. If they lose this series will the vast majority finally admit that the Process is a failure 

 

I wonder if other Philly fans hate that dumb people chant the Process af vames
