he was alright for 2.5mil.

I just read the Raptors might be trying to lure Phil Jackson over to us and giving him the President role.

When you have the chance to coach a team made up entirely of volume shooting small forwards, you have to do it.

 

[Blackace]

Phil's name has been attached to a lot of stuff this offseason.. Wonder if he will be working again next year

It's a weird situation since Jeanie will have to be in LA and only two of the four rumored offers that are somewhat known are from Charlotte and Toronto. I don't think he's the type to be so hands off he could tolerate controling things from the west coast.

If the Kings stayed in Sacramento, that'd be pretty interesting. I think the clippers could be very compelling but I'm not certain Sterling would give in to Phil's list of demands or that Phil would want to work for/with Donald.

 

[thekad]

Phil will run the Seattle Kings.

 

[ph33nix]

do we actually know if Phil is good at running and managing a team?

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

We'll find out.

We had no idea Pat would be a good showrunner until given the chance. I think Phil ends up with a similar Pat deal. A small portion of the team and some sort of coaching duty at first for a little while then he'll put someone like Shaw in the coach's chair.

The positive coverage might be worth hiring Phil alone.

Maybe its group therapy?

Just saying it would be a damned good hire. Way better than Shaw from last year.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Isaiah Austin returning to school :/

 

[Rodeo Clown]

It would be about as good as they could hope for. I mean that in the best way: Gentry is an awesome coach.

Yeah but what's the point of the Bobcats actually hiring a good coach?

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Hey y'all.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Hey y'all.

2 others in favor of it.

Sarver cause he's going to want to sell soon enough.

Jeanie cause the lakers have wanted to get other teams out of Cali for a while.

yeah.. I wonder how the other owners will swing..

AFAIK, only one of these has ever been declined, hasn't it?

 

[Blackace]

suppose so.. but this is an odd case..

 

[giri]

suppose so.. but this is an odd case..

It is, but i don't see them denying the move, tbh.

If the team doesn't move now, it's just going to be an ongoing saga for another decade at which point, they'll be here again.

The new owners that sac have put together are such an unconvincing ownership group.

I really feel bad for sac though, maloofs should literally be stoned to death if they ever step foot inside the district ever again.

 

[Adam Blade]

I'll be joining this thread by the end of this week.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Shocked to see that NBADraft.net's completely sourceless rumor of Marcus Smart declaring didn't turn out to be true.

Kind of surprised more people haven't pointed out the insane amount of shit that sites makes up.

 

[Paches]

@WojYahooNBA 2m
The NBA committees have voted no to relocation of Kings to Seattle, sources tell Y! Sports.

I just want to seriously cry.

 

[EvilMario]

Happy for Sacramento, sad for Seattle. Hopefully they get their team back eventually.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Well damn Sac really did earn it. Johnson and co pushed hard to keep the team there. Sucks for Seattle though =(. If only the Pelicans could be moved otherwise next best option I see is the Bucks moving.

Also hello fellow loser bros.

Its the Fox News of basketball. How can you not love it?

 

[rando14]

While I was never too big on the idea of taking Sacramento's team, I have to admit I'm really disappointed. Seattle put up an incredible offer and still got turned down, which does not give me confidence on any relocation happening in the near future. Balmer himself said expansion's not happening any time soon so I guess that's that.

Lone wanderer forever, I guess.

Blight Howard needs to sign with an NBA hole-in-the-wall gang where he can blame others indiscriminately and remain a child inconspicuously.

The Poison Pen has been good as gold all day with his shitting on the Lakers.

 

[Emwitus]

Hi everyone!

Wrong thread

 

[Jeff-DSA]

So what's the consensus? Is it that Kobe's help needs more help?

 

[Herpes Reasons]

whatever, im checking in just to checkout for the summer.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

In a brief phone conversation on Tuesday evening, Wolves owner Glen Taylor said he'll have a major announcement on the ownership front sometime in the next week.

Taylor has had talks with Chris Hansen's Seattle group, but they want to move the Wolves to Seattle, and Taylor said that's not happening.

Finally.

 

[Adam Blade]

... draft looks terribad this year, especially in the late first round.

*sigh*

Per @Jonathan_Feigen, Bobcats have asked Rockets for permission to interview Kelvin Sampson. Sampson grew up in N.C.

DY am cry?

He's had success wherever he's been. He has a PJ connection from coaching in Montana, he's from NC, and has a ton of experience both in college and the NBA. He'd be a fantastic hire. I couldn't care less about the recruiting violations he committed at Oklahoma and Indiana.

Kevin O'Connor going into a smaller role with the Jazz apparently.

Will be interested to see how Lindsey drafts...

Gentry or bust

Bucks targeting SVG? Good fit, if the Bucks can get him, with Sanders, Illyasova, and Henson on the roster and possibly Redick or Dunleavy Jr.

Has SVG ever coached a team without a good pivot?

Does Lamar Odom count?

'03-'04 Heat

I thought he did a great job with a lineup that had rookie Wade, Eddie Jones, Odom, C. Butler, and Brian Grant
