Event Around the 2025 NBA Playoff Madness!

Worse: because of Fox they didn't draft Doncic. And now the guy they got for Halliburton, who is significantly older, wants out, too. I'd say that Sacramento currently has the worst future of any non-playoff team.

 

Yeah, I was just making fun of the fact that we don't have Kevin Pritchard anymore. We fired Rick Adelman. It sounds like we ran Rick Carlisle off...

 

Alas, the salaries are THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS apart.

Try this instead:

 

Dont think the suns have #10.

 

Back in the day, Pacers fans booed drafting Reggie Miller at #11 instead of local boy Steve Alford.

 

I don't see why Suns would care about getting "their" 2025 pick... Teams only care about future seasons pick as they would benefit from their own higher pick if they have a lot of losses. 2025 is history. Getting #10 is worse than #9 and better than #11 but irrelevant that it originally came from the Suns.

Suns easiest picks to get are 2027 and 2029 that the Rockets have unprotected so getting those back would be huge

2026 2028 2030 Suns picks have multiple swaps that other teams have (Nets, Wizards, Magic, 6ers, Mavs, Grizzlies) so it's just about impossible to get control back for any of those.

2031 is held by the Jazz unprotected

 

the guy on the far left - didn’t he work for 95.5’s The Playhouse with PK?

 

Yessir! Thats my guy Tony Smith. He produced that show for years and then joined us in broadcasting. He does the same job as me. Guy is a tech genius. I could tell quickly that he wasn’t going to be around much. With us only having the Blazers and Timbers, it was only a matter of time before he started traveling on national shows and that’s what happened. He works Amazon NFL/UFC/TNT….everything. He has definitely moved past me in this biz. Great dude!

 

Funny story about Tony. Dame’s last year at Weber State….Tony was working the conference tourney…. Texted me and said, “Bro, there is this guy Lillard that is absolutely KILLING teams here! We HAVE to draft him!”
I told him to fuck off, I want Kendall Marshall and Harrison Barnes or Drummond!
This comes up every now and then and it blows my mind. Showed it to Dame years ago and introduced him to Tony….. it was awesome. Dame knew I wanted Marshall or Rivers…….Dame hugged him and said, “SEE MOTHERFUCKA!” HA!

 

So, Thibs is getting canned after the Knicks make it to the ECF? Thanks for nothing I guess.

But the Blaz-etts extended Billups.

 

This was 3rd longest tenured coach after Spoelstra/Kerr

3rd now is Billy Donovan on the Bulls!

Billups is now 8th, but was only hired the year after Donovan.

 

game 6 of ECF some would argue is considered overachievement for NYK.

 

What, the Nate McMillan Sarge type of thing is limiting on a team’s ceiling?

 

Best results in franchises prior 25 seasons and he gets fired. Yeah it is odd.

 

At that, about 20 other NBA coaches suddenly feel their seats getting warmer, because every other GM knows that Knicks roster would never have made it that far without Thibs.

 

And if Dolan was responsible, a no-brainer did fire him.

 

Stotts to the big apple.
