    Knicks have like 18M in open cap, and enough first round picks to dump Fournier and create max cap space to sign Kyrie Irving. Holy shit.

    Hornets rehire Steve Clifford as head coach. You don't see that happen often.



    Starting to kind of feel bad for Stotts. How many coaching jobs has he interviewed since leaving Portland? The Hornets would rather rehire their old coach than hire him...damn.

    The Jazz are still an option, but it looks like he is going to get passed up again as the Jazz want a first time head coach. They seem to be looking at Will Hardy from Boston.

    He’s just not a very good coach. He was carried by Dame for 10 years.

    He'll probably join someone's staff either this year or next year to stay in the fold of things.

    Ahahahah, I can’t believe it. Skip would too, who wouldn’t.

    Westbrook is so overrated. That OKC team with Durant, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, Adams, etc… was stacked. The fact they competed for so many years without winning is a massive … blunder for the thunder?

    I can't stand Westbrook, but I dislike Skip even more. It is one thing to call him Westbrick in this forum, or in private, but I find it
    embarrassing and lame for a 70-year-old employee of ESPN to tweet it.

    If the Lakers could trade Westbrook for Skip, they'd do it in a minute - the salary cap savings would be amazing.
    Westbrick is a huge negative asset.

    Skip is a complete idiot, but on that, everyone agrees.
    Westbrick is mediocre, but not everyone sees that.

    An appropriate future would be a place where everyone understood that the media's love affair with the triple-double was a crazy fad.

    Schedule is usually released within a month from now?

    Would be nice to begin the season with a home stand against solid opponents. Would much rather see teams like PHX, GS, BOS, MIL early and not teams like SAC, WAS, ATL

    Random Bledsoe idea

    Portland out: Bledsoe, guaranteed, 2nd round pick or 2

    In: Derrick Favors, JaMychal Green, Kenichi Williams

    Get a backup 3, 4 and 5

    For OKC, they pick up 2nds for Kenrich. They swap out 2 players for 1 in green and favors. OKC has a roster crunch where they basically need to move off of 5 guys before the season. This starts that process, and gives them 1 bigger expiring to carry in to the season to look for other deals.
