nba off season 2024 bud 2 suns etc

Ben's agent expects him to be in the MVP conversation! I have to wonder what's Ben's motivation?

Muscles don't cure insecurity and vanity. Good luck, Ben! This might be good last year in the league

This might be HIS last year in the league. Blargh

BREAKING: The Lakers are finalizing the hire of JJ Redick as their next head coach

WOW. pic.twitter.com/WgMxZOiYGK

— Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) June 4, 2024

lot of people have been saying its a done deal jj just wants to wait til after hes done calling the finals to announce it which is nice of him i dont really want to hear the tv guys talk about it during the games

over/under on the jj/lbj relationship going sour in 6.5 months

did lbj sign anything binding on him returning to the lakers, yet?

Just JJ redick so far

maybe JJ redick is lebron's "Shabazz Napier Memorial" parting gift to the Lakers

Omg that would be a hilarious outcome

lakers letting bron pick the coach and theyre drafting his son but will not let him make personnel moves interesting compromise

I find this decision *legible* but I just know it will end badly for JJ

its pretty much a no win sitch cause everyone in laker land has unrealistic expectations, even if he has them playing well and gets along with lebron whats their ceiling the second round maybe the conf finals if everything breaks right, downside is missing the playoffs altogether, thats not a range thats up to lakers standards

guess they can still make a trade idk doesnt seem great, also being known as the guy who was hired cause he had a podcast with bron isnt that good, wonder if theyre gonna keep it going

it’s just a bad idea for him, he’s lebron’s friend which is cool but as soon as they are generally understood to be an also-ran in the west, which they obviously will be, his buddy will throw him under the bus

wonder if management was thinking if they let bron bring in his guy then he cant backstab him, if so good luck

agree it is a bad idea; i can only assume he's finding the media stuff boring which is fair but this sure is a way to jump into the deep end

he said something on his pod about missing the game but not specifically playing more the competition and camaraderie, so yeah he wants back in the game

lagoon I love that you were the biggest anti-podcast guy a few years ago and now you’re letting us know what the bros are saying

i know ive fallen so far, its basically the only way to get nba info now, it is what it is, i watch them on youtube tho so its not technically a pod

Next step: start your own pod

the hoop collectors

i watch/listen to the pods but my true passion is youtubes where they break down plays on video, youtube has figured this out and will serve me the shittiest ones with like 300 followers and the guy sounds like its his first time talking, i always give them a like just for encouragement theyre doing the lords work

haha, recommending the absolute worst versions of the kinds of videos you like is definitely the youtube way

this is def the hole youtube has chosen to take me the deepest down, prob cause its kind of obscure to begin with theres not a deep roster of popular accounts doing it

WTF Dan Hurley

wow guess jj wasnt a done deal after all

BREAKING: The Los Angeles Lakers are targeting Connecticut’s Dan Hurley to become the franchise’s next coach and are preparing a massive, long-term contract offer to bring the back-to-back national champion to the NBA, sources tell ESPN. pic.twitter.com/6WPrigPvAW

Damn ok then

nothin like giving a guy whos never coached in the nba a massive long term contract to coach the most scrutinized team

You also don’t just pass on a guy like that though if he’s interested

so woj has this and shams had the “zeroing in” tweet on jj, that’s fun

wonder if that represents a split in the lakers org

LeBron James loved what he saw from Dan Hurley's offense during the NCAA tournament 👀

he will become the shabazz napier of nba coaches

Hurley actually seems really likable. Got a good pro coach media personality as well

I hope hurley stays at uconn personally

was just driving and heard on the radio that Michael Bloomberg has joined the A-Rod Lore ownership group, what in the world

needed to add another alltime unlikable guy

lol

nevertheless

BREAKING: Connecticut’s Dan Hurley has turned down the Los Angeles Lakers’ six-year, $70 million offer and will return to chase a third straight national title, sources tell ESPN. LA would’ve made him one of NBA’s six highest paid coaches. pic.twitter.com/hEXo3o00SR

lollll curious how JJ is going to respond to the offer now.

smart man

everyone saying woj was operating as a defacto member of team hurley is interesting, hes quite the journalist

So I only just found out he's indeed Bobby Hurley's brother.

oh no RIP Jerry West!
