    Ok let's resign Steve Blake. He needs to catch up.

    Pups beat Suns, who after winning 5 straight have now lost 2 of 3.

    Wolves should trade or chase after a good PG instead of going after Aaron Gordon. That would give them a better chance at turning it around.

    Who says that mid-season coaching changes don’t work. Atlanta has won 7 in a row and jumped to 6th place in the East since Nate took over. Minnesota has played much better since Chris Finch took over.

    Isn’t that what Russell is for?

    2006 Heat and 2016 Cavs both won titles after firing coach midseason.

    They will probably draft either Cade Cunningham or Jalen Suggs.

    I don't think they can get either guy. The Warriors own their pick. Is it protected?

    Rubio is the main force behind their turnaround. They should unload D'Angelo Russell instead.

    Yeah, see my post above yours, though I think Rubio is not long term answer.

    Hey, given the way the planet is going, he's long term enough.

    He reminds me of former Wolf (and Blazer) JR Rider. Super-talented scorer, big and strong, but kind of a space cadet. I always felt calm when JR was shooting free throws because I didn't get the impression he felt pressure.

    Not a big Stevens fan. Inherited the load of talent and picks they got when he took the job and hasn't been able to get to the finals in what used to be a weak east.
