“A potential Heat target in trade this offseason
would be one Brandon Ingram, who recently signed a contract extension, last year’s Most Improved Player and a player who had issues with Stan [Van Gundy], and also I have heard doesn’t feel he’s a long-term fit with Zion [Williamson],” said Ethan Skolnick. “I’ve heard this from a couple of different people. Not that there’s a personality conflict, but it’s just not the best possible fit.”

Two weeks after replacing Danny Ainge as president of basketball operations for the Boston Celtics, Brad Stevens made a seismic first move in his new role.

Boston agreed to send All-Star point guard Kemba Walker, the 16th pick in this year’s NBA draft and a 2025 second-round selection to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Al Horford, Moses Brown and a 2023 second-round pick, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

It is unusual for any trade to happen before next week’s NBA combine, let alone one this significant. But Stevens has a long-standing relationship with Thunder general manager Sam Presti, and the deal accomplished key objectives for both franchises.

Won’t happen but The Czar is synonymous with Marv Albert they had great chemistry

Nets offense is just better than Bucks defense

The Bucks odds aren’t good at all

Amazing.

Longest tenured HC in the NBA

1. Gregg Popovich (SAS)
2. Erik Spoelstra (MIA)
3. Steve Kerr (GSW)
4. Quin Snyder (UTH)
5. Michael Malone (DEN)

Rick Carlisle was #3

The annual look at guys that have pretty much used up the last drop of Basketball 🏀 in their body:

1) George Hill

George’s heady play isn’t enough to treat his defense and lack of impact negligible.

2) P.J. Tucker

He’s slowed down significantly the last 2 years.

Beyond a gaffe to extend him beyond year-to-year

3) Dwight Howard

Played 9 mins and is largely ineffective in his role. Though Philly’s bench is awful.

Two terrible trades occurred on this date, June 17th in Sixer history. In 1986 they traded Moses Malone to the Wizards for Jeff Ruland, the no.1 overall pick to the Cavs for Roy Hinson. In 1992 they traded Charles Barkley to the Suns for Jeff Hornacek, Tim Perry and Andrew Lan

Ben Simmons has missed more free throws this year in the playoffs than Steve Nash missed in the playoffs in his entire career.

Ben has shot 67 FTs. Steve Nash shot 440.

Hired his brother to help him in 2018 as a shooting coach

Chris Johnson is your shooting coach now…

Along with Doc pleading with Sam Cassell to help him…

Maybe this is on Ben that he can’t figure it out.

Blowing a 26 pt lead at homein the playoffs immediately disqualified from a DPOY 🥇 discussion.

Russell felt Scott often yanked him from close contests purely to spark controversy and attention for his postgame media availability. ‘I just think he was malicious for no reason,’” Russell says. “‘He’s a solid man. But as a coach, he was bad. He was just bad at his job.’”

Picus confirmed what Coon said. We can sign Dennis for 30mil that the incoming salary for the trade partner. that trade partner cant send 30 mil back. We only receive 19 mil in credit. from what i read the only way we can trade dollar for dollor is if we are under the cap.

Won’t change the fact that those who played the game at a high level keeps saying over and over: He’s an incredible athlete that has no tangible Basketball instincts…
