    Coach Ham was an undrafted Nuggets rookie. Laker fans screaming collusion.

    As much as I would enjoy that I just don’t see it happening.

    They've lost 9 straight to Denver. At this point I'd say the odds are good.

    Odds? They have lost 9 straight. Odds say they will win one.
    As I said above I would love to see it. Just don't think it's going to happen that way.

    Even the boldest of the bold Laker supporters have to admit this is getting ridiculous.

    Just heard Zion is out two weeks.
    Pretty much out for the season I guess?

    a sports radio show in Portland is claiming D'Angelo Russell played bad basketball.

    A) it's the Lakers

    B) who gives a crap

    2 week injuries for teams not named Blazers can actually be 2 weeks. Pelicans gotta get to the WCF, then we'll see if Zion is ready to go.

    Turn back the Clock. Would you still sign Chauncey over Jason Kidd?

    My guess is that I don't think Kidd would be interested in coaching a team that was deliberately tanking. Not for more than a year or two. IMO he would be already be gone. So does it really matter?

    I looked at assistant coaches in Dallas. They have aces for shooting instructors, assistants from winning franchises, and a few hard nosed former players to guide the team. Everyone has NBA experience.

    Blazers assistant coaches ??
    They don't match what Dallas brings, other then Scott Brooks who had some successful seasons as NBA head coach. I think there's a Collins twin as bench coach. That's important, especially when Grant gets traded for Keegan Murray.
