OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD - June 2021

Well at least Dame is getting a Gold Medal

 

I was rooting for Terry to get that job....surprised they brought Carlyle back

What is the chance Stotts goes back to assistant for Carlisle?

 

Translation: "We had been talking to Rick through his agent for the last several months and intimated that we'd have a job for him here at this approximate price if he wanted to leave Dallas."

I think most NBA people will tell you that this has been in the works for awhile.

 

Just saw Stotts at Starbucks. Looks very relaxed and happy. Might want to just chill out and collect those checks. That’s what I’d do at least

 

Another damning indictment against Simmons. 19 points in three playoff games.
It tells you exactly how lucky the Hawks are to be in the conference finals. If Simmons shoots even his average Philly beats the Hawks.

 

I know I sure would also. He already has everything he would ever need. Sit back and enjoy. Become an analyst or something?

 

ok seriously, do you just get up everyday and stumble into NBA people? lol i can count on a single hand the number of times i've seen these dudes in public.

etc etc.

 

I'd retire if I were Terry...Orlando has him at the top of their list now...after that, I doubt much interests him around the league

 

I see them all the time? At least the ones who live here?
Your location "Central Oregon" might have something to do with that no?

 

I saw Darius Miles once driving that crazy tricked out Chevy that he owned. I saw Kenny Carr one time in Lake Grove coming out of a copy shop. I saw Clyde once driving by. My best was a double-dipper: Terry Porter at Washington Square when he happened to bump into Bill Schonley and the two started chatting.

Edit: I forgot that I also saw Sam Bowie once in Lake Grove. The dude was on crutches at the time. Go figure.

One other time kind of doesn't count. Danny Ainge was at a fan event at Clackamas Town Center one time & I took my sons there to get his autograph. The kind of random sighting, though, was that afterwards as we were going to our car, Ainge sprinted by heading to his car and he was being followed by a pack of fans still wanting autographs.

 

Stotts has gone to the same Starbucks since he has lived here and it’s the one I go to. Always nice to people who approach him.

 

nah i just moved here a month ago.

 

...Orlando is a nice place to retire I hear

 

See Schonz all the time in town in his red Cadillac. A few days saw him in Albertsons and poor guy had bandages all over his arms, was bleeding through one of them. Skin gets thin in your old age

 

Filling up the car the other day next to Nassir. Nice Range Rover, like a dark reddish color
