Cousins wins! GM should be next. No team should be starting Thornton, Reke, Salmons, and JJ Hickson with Cousins, Outlaw, and Jimmer as major bench players.

 

[ThisWreckage]

Who wants to bet that they don't improve after the coaching change? Their coach was a convenient scapegoat.

No fucking way!

RISE UP, BITCHES! RISE UP!

Calling Westphal a "coach" is giving him too much credit already.

DMC wins!

Protip: Don't hire Larry Brown

hi dream.
you're like my twin.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Are you all saying this man can't teach Cousins some respect?

 

[reilo]

Speaking of which...

One GM floated Larry Brown to me recently to deal with Cousins. "He will love him. He will rip him. He will confuse kid into playing well."

Westphal fired?


Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

Is Keith Smart still available?

Although, I wouldn't be surprised if Petrie just decided to make one of our current assistant coaches the new head coach.

Keith Smart is an assistant coach and he has been promoted.

Man, it will be awesome if a new coach with an actual offensive system comes in and tries to get Reke, Jimmer, and Hickson to buy into it. Would be exceptional to watch.

I hear Mike D'Antoni will be available soon.

 

[reilo]

In 6 games, SAC assisted on 41.7% of its baskets. No team has been worse than 47.7 since '06, as far back as @hoopdata goes

woooow

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

I hear Mike D'Antoni will be available soon.

But he doesn't run an offensive system.

 

[ThisWreckage]

If Larry Brown coaches that team Cousins won't play period.

 

[reilo]

But he doesn't run an offensive system.

Do you think the Maloofs know that?

 

[DY_nasty]

But he doesn't run an offensive system.

Well, you typically need a point guard to run any offensive system.

 

[reilo]

Since the merger, only the 78-79 SD Clippers have assisted on less than 46% of field goals (they were at 41.4%).

BWahahaa.

 

[diehard]

Their best creator so far has been Jimmer... at SG..

yes, that Jimmer.

 

[Dominican Power]

 

[Puddles]

Anyone else getting dream and viakado mixed up at the moment?

 

[Duki]

puddles is that you in your avatar

 

[diehard]

I make fun of Sacs PG's then realize the Jazz's best creators are a 6'7 white boy and a rookie SG.

 

[Puddles]

Yes.

Chris would've created shots for me. I wouldn't be shooting 29 times a game. I'd be shooting 40. Man, what would people be saying THEN?

LOL

[MikeTyson]

Cali teams are the joke of the league confirmed.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So the Kings removed Cousins from their promo material, and then fired the coach? Seems liked they jumped the gun a bit in both directions.

 

[SamuraiX-]

So they are a bunch of whiners that don't pass? Ladies and Gentlemen your Sacramento Westbrooks!

What do you expect when you organize and play a bunch of blackholes and inexperienced chuckers and give them a "do what feels right" style of play with no system to speak of?

[Vahagn]

Every year Kobe gets injuries he shouldn't be playing with, every year he plays, every year people call him stupid and reckless for doing it, and every year he performs just fine and right around his normal numbers.


In his 35.5 PPG season he was playing with a horrible knee condition that he needed surgery for as soon as the season ended and didn't recover until after the next season started.

The dude knows what he's doing and has a high pain threshold and he already looks better than anyone who's ever played as many minutes as him (most those guys are 38).

When he can't play, he'll sit

WOJ: As the Orlando Magic consider deals for Dwight Howard, the Golden State Warriors have emerged as aggressive suitors for the NBA’s best center, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Golden State management is willing to take Howard as a one-season “rental,” with the hope of selling him on signing a long-term deal before he enters free agency this summer. Like most teams, Golden State has inquired with Orlando Magic general manager Otis Smith, but the Magic have yet to commit to aggressively pursuing a trade of Howard.

For the Magic to become intrigued with package, two things would likely have to appeal to them: rebuilding around young point guard Stephen Curry; and the Warriors’ salary-cap space to absorb the three years and $34 million left on Hedo Turkoglu’s contract. The possibility of the pursuit could be complicated by questions about the sturdiness of Curry’s surgically repaired right ankle. The Warriors are willing to part with either of their two guards – Curry or Monta Ellis – but teams clearly will watch how Curry recovers from his recurring ankle sprains.
More From Adrian Wojnarowski


The Utah Jazz own the Warriors’ 2012 first-round pick lottery, which is protected through No. 7, but Golden State would give its next available first-rounder to the Magic. The availability of the rest of the Warriors roster, plus future picks, would be wide open for negotiation, sources said.

Most teams aren’t willing to gut rosters to get Howard only to lose him to free agency in the summer. Yet, the Warriors made a run for Chris Paul as a rental, and are determined to offer more for Howard, a franchise center. Golden State is probably five years away from a new downtown San Francisco arena that will be more appealing to star players, but owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber are determined to sell a top-five media market and rabid fan base to players. They would have to take a huge risk to make a deal for Howard, but sources said they’re determined to try whatever it takes to satisfy the Magic’s needs for a trade – including the construction of more complicated three- and four-team trade scenarios.

[ Related: Warriors’ Stephen Curry sprains ankle again ]

The Warriors think they can sell Howard on the endorsement possibilities of a global NBA star in Silicon Valley. From tech companies to social media, Golden State thinks Howard would find an untapped market, as well as a nod from Adidas, who is preparing a new deal for him. And the bottom line is this: Should Golden State make a deal for Howard, he would have to take $30 million less over the length of a contract extension to leave this summer.

Far from frontrunners, Golden State’s best chance of acquiring Howard could come with a failure of the Magic and Los Angeles Lakers to agree on a deal centered on Andrew Bynum. Howard has told Orlando management that he would sign extensions with three teams – the Dallas Mavericks, Lakers and New Jersey Nets – but the Nets and Mavericks aren’t in strong position to make deals for Howard.

Orlando has been iffy on Nets center Brook Lopez, who has been lost for several weeks with a broken foot. Howard has indicated the Nets are his preference, and they do have the salary-cap space to sign him this summer. Still, Orlando has until the March 15 trade deadline to get a return on Howard, who insists he will leave as a free agent.

Despite Howard’s preference to go to the Brooklyn-bound Nets to play with Deron Williams, those close to Howard still believe he’s fluctuating on his future and could be sold on different scenarios.

Everytime something bad happens with the Warriors, we put out a trade which will never happen. Fuck this team. Curry gets injured and the fucking next day, on cue, there's a rumor that we are going after Howard hard. Yeah fucking right.

P.S. we never offered curry for a rental of chris paul, they pussied out in the last minute, lol

Not sure there's a player on the Knicks other maybe Fields and Chandler who fits what Sloan wants out of a player.
