JJ Redick/Zach Lowe pod is up

edit: very interesting answer from Redick to Lowe's question to him on if DJ owed Cubes a phone call. Essentially lays the blame for the whole thing at the feet of Dan Fegan.

 

[Fjordson]

Redick is scust, like all players on the Clippers, but I guess I should give this a listen.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Lou Williams took number 23. I he's ready for the pressure and expectations that come with it.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Who are considered the top players in next years draft?

Ben SImmons, Skal Labissiere, Jaylen Brown, Malik Newman, Jamal Murray, Brandon Ingram are some of the top incoming freshmen, who, of course, are near the top of mock drafts, as well.

I'm sure he's going to change after this.

Just kidding. No idea about this guy but he seems like a solid pick-up as our back-up center.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

So Broussard expects people to believe that he had not one, but multiple people somehow giving him the information that Mark Cuban was driving around Houston distraught and trying to get DJ's address?? Lol get fucked.

Wonder if Broussard contacted Cuban directly for an apology.

What team has he played on?

EDIT: apparently he played for the Spurs during the 11-12 season.

[TheRealVinsanity]

Following the whole DJ fiasco has been kinda crazy but wildly entertaining. My guess is the NBA will overreact and change it so that there is no waiting period in free agency from July 1st.

lol, what a hilarious scene that must have been

just some dudes sitting around eating Raising Cane's and playing cards. meanwhile the world around them was in a state of utter chaos.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Around AS break, sources say Deron Williams had to be physically restrained from going after Hollins during a meeting to air out grievances.

Deron Williams really hates coaches.

Allegedly they can't do that, because the NBA fiscal year ends June 30th, and it takes some time to audit the numbers before coming up with the next year's cap number, which is how they form the basis for all these contracts.

The alternatives would be to push back the free agency period to start later, or to run the audit without complete numbers on the prior fiscal year (but the Players Association apparently has an issue with this). The argument against pushing back the start of the free agency period is that everyone will still have handshake deals done beforehand secretly, but that already happens before July 1st rolls around anyway.

To clarify, he was blaming Fegan for this one aspect (notifying the Mavericks), says it's the agent job to communicate between team and player, both directions. What he didn't do was go into anything about whether or not Jordan was pressured or misled in any way prior to changing his mind. (For that matter, he doesn't even go into detail about whether Jordan was even communicating with Fegan in order for Fegan to communicate with the Mavericks.)

One thing I noticed from the video is there was a lot of passing with the team he is on. Hopefully that translates to his bench play.

I don't think so, unless it was during Summer League or something. But yeah, from highlights he looks like a pretty good passer for his size. Should fit in nicely.

I do like the Fiesta Colors. Maybe a throwback from time to time?

Also, LOL at the Bulls logo never changing.

It was probably during the Summer League, because I definitely don't recall him playing even with the third stringers during that time.

I feel that the Sonics' logo changing to the OKC logo is very disrespectful

It's a kick in the teeth.

But then, so are the dozen or so others involving franchises that skipped town.

Homer.

Actually, I've kind of had a soft spot for the Celtics uniform for years. I can't explain it except that maybe it's related to my youth league basketball team I was on during 5th and 6th grades, whose uniforms were green with white lettering. It's not that I'm appreciative of the Celtics, I'm just longing for lost youth.

That, or I could go for a bowl of Lucky Charms. Either way, really.

The Thunder should have done what the Baltimore Ravens had to do -- start with a fresh history. The NFL knew there would be another Cleveland Browns at some point and we all know the Supersonics will be back in the future. Seattle lost its team; it should have kept its history.

That's been my position on Charlotte. As nice as it is to see the Hornets name and colors returned, it's been sullied by the move to New Orleans. Charlotte was basically awarded a new team immediately, the name should have stayed behind.

I also miss the old Alamodome court design, with the Fiesta colors on full display. I would support a movement to bring that back, even if it was just for a year.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Honestly, I love how they the entire logo is incorporated on the front, and I wish other teams would try that sometime. Reminds me of what Hockey jerseys do, and it's so awesome compared to merely the font. My Arizona Coyotes jersey is fucking awesome probably because the logo is plastered on the front.

I was wondering if other NBA teams would find a way to incorporate their logo onto jerseys like the Dubs do. That would be really cool.

Spurs got Marjanovic? Shit ain't fair man. It just ain't fair.

Maybe the league is telling you that there may be another Seattle team but not another SuperSonics Team

Kind of partial to the black, silver and white. Of course I kind of came into my Spurs fandom during the Finals series against Detroit.

Spurs got Marjanovic? Shit ain't fair man. It just ain't fair.

Is he that good?

Aldridge, West, McCallum Jr and Marjanovic seems like decent depth from what we had. The only person we haven't "replaced" is Beli's sharp shooter ability.

Wait, did the Bobcats start as a fresh franchise? Does that mean LJ and Zo belong to the Pelican's history? That's so weird...

Yes, the Hornets history went with the team to New Orleans, but the pre-move history was "returned" to Charlotte after New Orleans adopted the Pelicans name and Charlotte took the Hornets name back a season later. So basically, Zo and Grandmama are Charlotte Hornets, Chris Paul is a New Orleans Hornet.

In addition, the team announced that after collaborating with the NBA and the New Orleans Pelicans, all of the statistical information, records and history of Charlotte NBA basketball will also be returning to the franchise. The Hornets will now own and have access to all of the historical elements from not only the Bobcats era (2004-2014) but also the original Hornets era in Charlotte (1988-2002). The Pelicans will maintain the history and statistics beginning with the team’s first season in New Orleans (2002-03).
