well yeah, that's what i've been telling you guys for a year and a half.

I hope Young opts in.

Pacers have their three best players locked up and/or on Rookie deals:
Vic-3 yrs/$21M per
Myles-Last year of his rookie deal
Sabonis-Two more years of his rookie deal

Then you have the player options:
CoJo-Picked up for $8M
Thad-$14M

Both were really solid players for the Pacers and one more year would be great for both their futures and for the Pacers

Next you have the three non or partially guaranteed deals:
DC-$10M next year, guaranteed for $2M
Bojan-$10.5M next year, guaranteed for $1.5M
Al Jefferson-$10M next year, guaranteed for $4M

I don't hate either move with the top 2. DC and Bogie played at or very near their peaks last year and both are going to be 30. No reason to lock them up long term, but if they can continue to produce and then come off the books, I'm cool with that.

As much as a love Care Bear, Al's days as an NBA player are over. Love to have him as a bigs coach though.

Lastly you have the team options:
Lance-$4M
Mighty Joe Young-$1.6M

LOL @ not keeping Lance. Lance doing Lance things accounts for 25% of all tickets sold to Pacer's games. Joe Young is likely gone, and that's fine.


Long story slightly shorter, the Pacers have an insanely good cap situation for a ~50 win team. It's up to KP not to **** it up now.

New GoZ is great. It's back baby!

I liked when Trevor Ariza said "I'm suspended!"

And the shats at Kobe were pretty suite too.

Fizdale's wife is ******edly hot.

Lord have mercy

The Harrison Barnes "...but sometimes it is" reference and Kobe's white hat along with the skeletons in his closet were great.

"Then it was re-re-re-inforced to keep Kobe from unretiring"

Excellent GoZ!

More great lines:

Fiz probably #4 in the Knicks sweep for me - after Stack, Bud & Kenny lolcoachKenny .. Blatt

Obviously could have been worse, but definitely wait-and-see rather than hang-out-the-flags imo

All you Fiz doubters are gonna be owing him an engraved apology.

Keep your stamps ready!

The Lakers pick is only 3% to convey to the Celts because it has to fall within 2-5 right?

So the Celts are getting the Kings pick next year top 1 protected?

Yeah.

Imagine the Celtics bink the #2 or #3 pick in this star studded draft.



Edit: With Doncic going #1, I'm guessing Ainge would trade down a few spots, get another asset and take JJJ.

I think we need more pictures of his wife to really assess the hiring.

DeAndre has an interesting option this offseason and its only interesting because he has to take his option and go to UFA in '19.

He is drawing dead to be more valuable than Montrezz over the next 4 years and nobody has $

Fiz is winning in life.

Paul George should go back to IND.....

A Rivers def opts in I'd say. Maybe gets traded midseason since LAC has such a logjam with Bev, Teosidic, Lou. Or maybe they deal Bev.

Jordan? Ehh, if he can get $ from a bad team like BK or Sacto or Phx I think he could opt out. No telling what a year brings. He was in DRose/Russ/Love's draft class, little older than people think. Will be 30 in July. I think his market will be pretty dry but only takes 1 team.

He's 1 injury/bad year away from his market value getting cut in half.

Love CJ in this interview, comes off very articulate & seems to understand the game & work hard on his craft, think he will have a successful podcast post nba career as well.

Anyone have an idea as to her ethnic background?

I can't put a finger on it (and some googling didn't provide an answer) but she seems like a Latina mix or something.


This would be such a sick turn face.

Recently hired New York Knicks head coach David Fizdale is planning to fly to Latvia to meet with franchise player Kristaps Porzingis.

#EUROTRIP

What a ****ing baller.

It seems like coaching in Miami has some nice perks. Spo is living the dream as well.

Although, Fizdale's wife >>>>>>>> Spo's wife

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sen_(surname)

I am guessing she has an Indian or Bengali father and a Latina Mom.

Whatever it is it's an incredible mix.

Fitz legit has a hotter wife than prob any player

Prove me wrong

It's harder than you'd think.

I would take Jerebko's wife over Fizdale's. It's close but Fizdale's wife has an unfair advantage with all the pictures she is taking.
