Maybe just shutup rather than making the media rounds.

Not to mention that as a RFA, not sure why he wants to piss off the Celtics or perhaps get himself labeled as a primadonna.

This was an honest and pretty humble interview. He gave legit example like not sticking to the gameplan wrt rotations. Your post sounds like the subtle "shut up an dribble" racist comments.

They aren't choosing between NO and NYK/LA though.

I don't know how much $ this is gonna cost him but I doubt it is a small #. He's going to arguably the most irrelevant franchise in the entire league.

He needs to hope they hit the AD trade out of the park and get him some good teammates. If he doesn't see a playoff game first 2-3 years then he's gonna begin to fade in hype.

The NBA has massively increased their revenue over the last few years with the Lakers and Knicks both sucking total ass. 1994 called and wants its "BIG MARKET!!" takes back.

Just not how Kerr operates lol. Likes to keep it diverse, which has its advantages (boosts the overall offensive profile), but in particular he really dislikes going ball screen after ball screen all game. I get it mostly, problem is he won’t go to it readily enough when cutesy stuff isn’t working ( not that that appeared to be the case tonight)

Nothing says honest and humble like having a horrible year followed by a horrible playoff series and then proclaiming that you are 1 of the best PG's in the NBA right after the season ends.

And fwiw, I don't really care what he says and think it is largely inconsequential. Just think it is bad form.

draft should start right when the lottery #1 pick is announced.

Yeah Knicks aren't getting lucky.

Best case scenario is RJ gets to be reunited with Zion in New Orleans via a trade package for AD.

Someone on ESPN said the Suns could move the #6 pick for Conley.

The Pelicans will obviously try and keep AD but now they have Lakers/Knicks to play off each other and get a very good package.

I definitely didn't want to lose dirk's last game. But not losing 1 more before that just changed the next decade for this franchise.

We are still set up decently well but we could've been in the driver's seat. So unlucky and the top picks stay in the West...and in our division. Oh well.

Fml fml fml.

The Mavs have (the prize of last year's draft) Doncic and now (a freaking unicorn) Porzingis. Get over yourself.

But, opponents are at a disadvantage going to Denver, so Denver performs artificially well at home relative to the road, so that cancels that out.

Yesterday I was asking for the best place for Zion. Seems like we ended up with the worst place. Disappointing.

Why? It’s not like New Orleans has ever ruined a bright young player’s formative years before

Portland were terrible. You going to sag your big man on a Curry/whoever screen? Good luck with that.

If it wasn't a free throw discrepancy of 25-3 at one stage of the game it would have been over by 3 quarter time.

They'll get better no doubt.

Advantage is still bigger for them?

Stotts response to the trapping question was hilarious. He was mad as hell. Still lol tactics on his end. Needs to bench Kanter

Edit: altitude in Denver affecting the blazers’ play yesterday seems like a stretch, but they only got one day of rest and it’s possible they were unusually tired from that game 7. Also vs a team off three days rest. You would expect them to get a boost not playing at altitude, but only if they fully recovered

Consider the impracticality of having to evaluate prospects without knowing where you pick. Or if your protected pick will convey or not.

Would actually help teams like the Knicks to know nothing at all.

Not that it still doesn't suck

Let Curry shoot open 3's, don't let him shoot at all...Who really cares? This is a 1st rd matchup taking place in the conf finals.

Kerr saying we can go deeper into our bench in this series. Translation: This isn't gonna be too hard.
