dunno if you really want a first-time HC for a team who's championship window is probably closing in 1 year

six years!

dang

i guess the hope is that he coaches them all the way back to contention in that span

every other coach sending that tweet and the eyes emoji to their agent

feel like this trend of reporting coach salaries will lead to some regrets

teams limiting their spending on player salaries bcuz of the new CBA will be a great development for the coaches

the never-before-seen coach supermax

pop getting a one year $40M extension/retirement parachute

uhh

Adam Silver on Ja Morant: “We’ve uncovered a fair amount of additional information. We probably could have brought it to a head now, but we’ve made the decision that it would be unfair to these players and these teams to announce that decision in the middle of this series.”

NBA fine with Victor Wembanyama's debut happening in Sacramento

who was asking this question and what sort of answer did they expect

seems unlikely he'll be on the board at #24 but you never know

sacramento is good now!

BREAKING: Phoenix Suns have notified star Chris Paul that he will be waived, making the future Hall of Famer one of the top free agents this offseason, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport.

ok!

lakers pls

lakers gonna lake

i bet he'll go to la, but he should come to sa with wemby

paul’s actually good still I don’t want him to go to LA

Can the suns bring him back cheaper?

yeah i think they can

https://www.denverpost.com/2023/06/09/nuggets-trade-draft-picks-oklahoma-city/

if I’m reading this right, the nuggets traded a protected 2029 first round pick and in exchange got…2 firsts and a second?

that is my basic understanding of it

a first and 2 seconds but yeah it doesn't necessarily add up

i guess OKC have too many picks so they're trading down a bit to defer a first round pick? maybe they think they'll be good next year and/or they think the draft pool will suck?

Also a bet that by 2029 the Jokic/Murray team will be on the downside and that pick might be better than their own.
