So Sterns master plan was to have Tim Duncan go to the Spurs instead of the Celtics
There are some pretty bad draft busts, but this one is pretty damn awful
Clippers picked Olowokandi when they could have had:
Bibby
Jamison
Vince Carter
Jason Williams
Dirk Nowitzki
Paul Pierce.
All those guys were in the top 10. That's a pretty underrated and top heavy draft. A lot more sure fire top 10 picks than the Kwame Draft. But the Kwame draft had a lot more great players outside the lottery.
Went back to see who else was available in the TD draft. I thought Boston got Paul Pierce, I figured that wasn't a bad consolation prize but that was a different draft. So started researching drafts. The Bennett draft though, its all just garbage. Probably won't have a single perennial all star and definitely no HOF players out of this bunch.

I know its probably Berman trolling but the idea of jvg coming back and maybe bring his brother svg for the ride (even if we tank and somebody gets a good pick) next season is the best thing I heard concerning the Knicks this whole season.

Noel could be a huge impact player in this league.

I know that's why I think its a troll,... But on the slight chance that its not.... I mean McHale was never a good coach and look where he landed.

Those teams usually need new owners, not new players. I'd at least like to see a system that penalizes a team if they end up in the lottery say, three times in a row and automatically puts them at the back of the line.

is this a joke?
There is so much wrong with this post that I can only imagine this is sarcasm...

Shump is still being shopped. FO is now saying that hes good but isnt being used properly by Woodson
I really do hope Shump lands on a good team and is able to flourish. Fuck this toxic organization.
And LOL @ Metta. Dude said the heated argument with Kmart the other day was over pasta. Shell vs elbow.

I don't know about that, because it's not realistic for there to be such drastic fluctuation in lottery teams in such a short period, but I do think some kind of independent competition committee should have the right to demand a "review of program" once a year directly with ownership in order to talk about the state of their franchise.
Maybe its already happening, idk, but guys like Leonsis and Taylor should be made to answer for having guys like Kahn and Grunsfeld on such long leashes despite consistently poor decision making that harms everyone involved--from the owners pockets, to the fan experience, viewership, and the brand as a whole.
That's not to say that I think the NBA should force the hands of ownership to make personell decisions, but there's no accountability whatsoever for guys like Dolan who hijack teams with what seems like a casual disinterest to the teams needs.

Good player not being utilized properly by incompetent coach.
Solution: Trade the player
Knicks logic.

Are the Blazers the only team using ipads on the sidelines? Gotta wonder if that has anything to do with their offensive efficiency. Getting instant film on the game the second they hit the bench is the sort of stuff guys like MJ could only dream about.
I know Wes said it does a lot for him and I believe it. Did those last two misses come up short or go left? Did you rush the shot? Stotts is doing great things over there.

Paul George went off at the end of the game, but I'm not nearly as impressed by it as everyone else it seems. Was fun to watch though.
Meanwhile:
NBApls....
The East is horrible this season. They have been top heavy for a while, but it was exaggerated in the past (no matter what anyone says). But this season, this shits horrible. It doesn't even appear as if its going to get any better either. Its pure fuckery through and through. Bench Lebron, Wade, Bosh, George, Hibbert and West and just bring everyone back from vacation in May.
What, like there's some law that a .375 team shouldn't have home court advantage?

Rudy Gay doesn't let his teammates look at the standings either.
They won't, but they also won't get a lottery pick.

Top 16 playoff match- Quick math, may be wrong. Went with better divison record for tied records as a tie breaker.
1.Pacers
2.Spurs
3.Blazers
4.Heat
5.Thunder
6.Rockets
7.Clippers
8.Nuggets
--
9.Warriors
10.Mavs
11.Suns
12.Pelicans
13.Wizards
14.Lakers
15.Grizzlies
16.Hawks
A couple of changes here and there would result in some fun first round playoff series.
Thunder v Wiz
Blazers v Lakers
Spurs v Griz
Nuggets v Warriors
Rockets v Mavs
...
wake up guys, sorry to get you excited, not happening lulz

Remember when Lawrence Frank was Kidd's head coach who destroyed their chances of making it back to the championship game? Kidd does. In 10 years, Coach Anthony will be sending Kidd to nacho cart duty.
Truly the Knicks of basketball.
So they take the one guy that can coach and relegate him to busy work? Oh lawdy Jesus.
