Vlade Divac is pushing to consolidate his power as Kings top basketball executive, seriously weighing dismissal of coach Dave Joerger, league sources tell ESPN. Divac/Joerger set for meeting today. Joerger led Kings young core to a 39 win season. He has a year left on deal.

Wolves suddenly seem to have put Ryan Saunders deal on pause.... want Joerger so bad....

― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 11 April 2019 17:56 (seven years ago)

Joerger did do some head-butting in Memphis iirc so I wonder if Vlade's maybe not quite 100% to blame for the failure of their interpersonal dynamic.

― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Thursday, 11 April 2019 18:11 (seven years ago)

i do wonder about joerger. apparently he has beef with young players. he may hate the wolves if thats the case.

― but I can't let Trae do it I got Huerter on my mind (Spottie), Thursday, 11 April 2019 18:20 (seven years ago)

joeger seems like a pain in the ass, but he can coach

― call all destroyer, Thursday, 11 April 2019 18:21 (seven years ago)

maybe he's Scott Skiles 2.0, a guy who can deliver some on-court results but quickly wears out his welcome.

― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Thursday, 11 April 2019 18:26 (seven years ago)

was thinking the same, doesnt seem like the right guy for the wolves moody millennials

― lag∞n, Thursday, 11 April 2019 18:33 (seven years ago)

Sources: The Memphis Grizzlies are firing coach J.B. Bickerstaff.

cleaning house

The Grizzlies dismissed coach J.B. Bickerstaff and reassigned GM Chris Wallace to a scouting capacity in the front office, league sources tell ESPN. VP John Hollinger will also move into a senior advisory role.

one of the whiteboy youtube basketball celebs might actually be good

High-level Hoop Summit game with a monster showing from Nico Mannion. He was tremendous all week in practice also. Excellent blend of scoring instincts, passing feel, toughness at 6'3. Game comes easy to him. Have been really impressed with him at every stop since the U16 Euros. pic.twitter.com/DMDgE3akN2

Lakers without brow are about even with lebrons team last year.

― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Sunday, 13 October 2019 03:36 (seven years ago)

well worse prob, that team was a playoff bunched up at second in the west before all the injuries, this team w/o brow wld be skunked imo

― lag∞n, Sunday, 13 October 2019 03:59 (seven years ago)

it would just be AWFUL if lebron missed the offs again

thanks for clearing that up

Let me clear up the confusion. I do not believe there was any consideration for the consequences and ramifications of the tweet. I’m not discussing the substance. Others can talk About that.

i'm playing fantasy basketball for the first time in like a decade. do we have a thread for advice? Lonzo or Derrick White as my back up PG?

― Heez, Wednesday, 16 October 2019 16:12 (seven years ago)

someone make an ILX league!

― Jeff Bathos (symsymsym), Wednesday, 16 October 2019 16:14 (seven years ago)

i think White is better in a roto league...Lonzo has better counting stats but terrible percentages, White is more efficient

― Jeff Bathos (symsymsym), Wednesday, 16 October 2019 16:15 (seven years ago)

yeah i guess i know what i'm getting with White, but Lonzo's still intriguing

― Heez, Wednesday, 16 October 2019 16:17 (seven years ago)

Take Lonzo and punt FG%

― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 16 October 2019 16:31 (seven years ago)

Honestly lonzo’s percentages shouldn’t be a huge issue because his attempts will be low

― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 16 October 2019 16:31 (seven years ago)

Looks like White will get less minutes this season with Murray back

― Heez, Wednesday, 16 October 2019 16:42 (seven years ago)

yeah lonzo could have a big year too...still, 437 career percentage from the line. he's better in a points league or head-to-head

― Jeff Bathos (symsymsym), Wednesday, 16 October 2019 16:58 (seven years ago)

I feel like stacking Lonzo with a center who’s good at the line is the play

― Matt Armstrong, Wednesday, 16 October 2019 20:13 (seven years ago)

Get Dejounte Murray instead of White imo
