Phil Jackson is proving himself to be as senile as I thought he was at the end of his coaching career. The main is already saying that Porzinigis could end up like Shawn Bradley in addition to the comments he's spewing about outgoing players.

You know he's doing that a la Zen Jedi Mind Tricks.

Same dude that TMac dunked on right? That is why I remember him.

Valanciunas signed a 4 year $64 Million dollar deal that could go as high as $70 Million. That seems low to me.

What a bargain. Happy we got a deal done before the cap rise next season.

Not bad at all imo

So he actually lost money in base salary but secured some dollars with that player option.

Nah man, what about these?!:

Selfie banners are banners too!

 

[MetalFearSolid]

So why does Taylor get a banner and not the previous record holder.

 

[LyleLanley]

Still less embarrassing than the Dan Marino and MJ banners in Miami.

 

[Hyperactivity]

Happy to hear that Terry is re signing with the Rockets.

Yeah, same here. Really like him as a person and player

 

[Randolph Freelander]

MKG and the Hornets have agreed to an extension.

Rick Bonnell ‏@rick_bonnell 5m5 minutes ago
Can confirm MKG has agreed to a 4-year, $52 million extension that will take him off the free-agent market.

 

[Bowser]

MKG and the Hornets have agreed to an extension.

Bargain if he can stay healthy with the cap exploding like it is

 

[MetalFearSolid]

What if this is like the overpay mistake Jordan made with Tyrus Thomas?

bruh pls. MKG is way better than Tyrus ever was.

 

[fertygo]

Charlotte got a steal, MKG is at least top 10 defender in the league

 

[Ninja Scooter]

That MKG deal is super low-risk. Even if he doesn't develop into a star, $13 million/year for the prime years of a solid wing defender isn't that bad.

 

[Cheddahz]

MKG deal is a steal for the Hornets

Wonder what got under Simmons skin today about the Clips.

Ooh. Fuck the Clips, hope the full story gets out.

Also, glad to see Simmons slowly coming out of hiding after the ESPN shit.

[QUOTE]Bill Simmons ‏@BillSimmons 15m15 minutes ago
6. Three most dysfunctional NBA organizations right now are the Kings, Hornets and Clippers and I am not sure of the order... (Ok I'm done)[/QUOTE]

Hornets? Lol bish pls

 

[Gully State]

Wonder what got under Simmons skin today about the Clips.

I dunno why this isn't apparent given how they were last year and how the whole DJ situation went down. Balmer hasn't exactly done anything in the last year to show competency as an owner other than buying the team away from a huge racist douchebag. Keeping Doc both HC and GM hasn't been good. Balmer really needs to hire some seasoned guys to run the FO...

 

[MetalFearSolid]

So Clippers were dysfunctional when Sterling owned the team. When Ballmer bought team, I am pretty sure he was like just continue what you do "Doc The GM"

 

[LyleLanley]

I'm interested to see what he's referring to. Improper business deals with DeAndre don't seem quite as dysfunctional as the Sterling days.

 

[Gully State]

LOL...just as I mention DJ..

Apparently the Clippers offered DeAndre Jordan an endorsement deal with Lexus for $200,000 a year that NBA frowned upon, per source.

 

[LyleLanley]

How does the league even catch something like that? Maybe that's proof that the Clippers are dysfunctional.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

LOL The Clippers being the Clippers.

I like the Clippers though. Even more controversial given how much I love the Lakers, but I've never had a problem with the Clippers and actually like them.

 

[bodyofanamerican]

I wonder if Simmons is referring to things Ballmer just not observing unspoken league rules like negotiating with DJ after he verbally committed to Dallas. Things of that nature but just behind the scenes.

 

[Gully State]

Wow...I didn't know that Jordan Clarkson is apparently half Filipino (his mom is Filipino).

Why you think all the Asians been rooting for him then?

I thought they were chanting Jeremy not Jordan..

I don't follow Lakers basketball

Simmons calling out the Clippers as dysfunctional shouldn't be surprising to anyone who followed Microsoft post-Gates.

Holy shit
http://www.tmz.com/2015/08/26/derrick-rose-sued-for-gang-rape/

Derrick Rose is being sued by a woman who claims the NBA superstar and two of his friends drugged and gang raped her.
The woman, identified only as Jane Doe, says she and Rose dated from 2011 to 2013. During that time, Rose allegedly tried to pressure her to masturbate in front of him, allow him to have sex with her friends and engage in group sex with strangers, all of which she says she refused.
Rose's accuser says the two continued to date until August 2013, when Rose and two friends, Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton (who is also Rose's personal manager), invited her to Rose's Beverly Hills house. She says there, they slipped a drug into her drink with the aim of raping her.
The plaintiff says she escaped the house with a friend, but later that night, Rose and his friends broke into her apartment and gang raped her while she was incapacitated. She says she remembers only "flashes" of the incident, but can remember the defendants forcibly raping her.
She claims she waited for two years to file the suit because she was "ashamed and embarrassed" of what happened and concerned her "conservative family" would find out.
She wants unspecified damages.

Does that count as dysfunctional if it worked?

Rape is wrong, and those who commit rape have to face the consequences. Facts don't make sense and seem fishy.

Seems smart to play it safe rather than rushing him back on the court like the did in the finals. Gives Love more time to gel with the team and keeps Kyrie healthy for the playoffs.
