I'm legit cracking up at the idea that a GM calls Thibs and gets told there won't be any deal and then making a call to Taylor and starting a negotiation. Why is Thibs still in the building?
By alt sy Go To PostEmbiid played 2 years ago?yes. it was the first year he was "healthy".
i had to look this up to make sure lol
Nevertheless, Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor has become fully engaged in the decision-making process on a potential Butler trade and is far more open to the idea of orchestrating a deal than president of basketball operations Tom Thibodeau and GM Scott Layden, league sources said.I wonder who Glen is consulting on these trade offers. I'll bet it's Kevin McHale and Sam Mitchell.
By pkaz01 Go To PostHow and why the fuck does Thibs still have a job.An unwillingness to pay him to go away as of right now. By taking him out of the equation on this one, Taylor probably wants Thibs to quit first.
I forgot Ryan Saunders as one of the people he's probably consulting on this. That dude will be coaching the team before too long. Thibs usurped by his own assistant.
Y'all should see how #MeToo got Mark Cuban acting fake as shit right now.
Never seen a supposed "shark" be so un-shark. Nowitzki is probably appalled right now.

idk why he even agreed to do the interview.
you think Sam Ponder is gonna get Jerrah or Bob Kraft up there to talk about their business in a crisis? nope.

By Kibner Go To PostThe interview clip is betterlol dam he ethered her and she ignored it.
i maybe naïve but i thought he was saying that she gets real dick pics and not just eggplants in her dms instead of what's everybody thinking.
By Smoke Dogg Go To PostY'all should see how #MeToo got Mark Cuban acting fake as shit right now.Sigh. Fans of tech-moguls really are into their pretend masculinity.

Not as funny though.

Rubio slurping still disgusts me

This is what i was reading. Not the Mchale Smitch part.
But the fact that Taylor seems to regret the Thibs experience. And isn't happy with where it's going, particularly disagreeing on recent roster stuff.

Rubio was a terrible to well below average player for half the year, then suddenly became above average to legitimately good. We'll see what he can do this year, i kinda doubt he can go an extended period of shooting 42% from three like last year.
oof
Motion-tracking cameras recorded Wiggins "running fast" during only 4.8 percent of his time on the floor, one of the 10 lowest such figures in the league, per Second Spectrum. (Almost everyone in his slowpoke vicinity is a plodding 7-footer.)
oof
By DY_nasty Go To Posti just want people to understand that larry brown was worse than thisLarry didn’t sign Matt Geiger and Tyrone Hill so nah
By RobNBanks Go To PostLarry didn’t sign Matt Geiger and Tyrone Hill so nahbreh he gave desagna diop a 5 year deal lol
By Gaby Go To PostSigh. Fans of tech-moguls really are into their pretend masculinity.
Lol I think all tech-moguls are scum, breh. I despise the very concept of a "Silicon Valley," you don't even know.
And while I've always found Zuckerburg to be the creepiest among his peers, I've found Cuban to be the pinnacle of smarminess among all his shark tank douchebags.
Steve Jobs is the only tech mogul I ever respected every once in a while.
By diehard Go To Postsometimes im jealous of dysfunctional franchises just for the dramathat's what the ncaa is for

The order of operations here is bad, but Taylor does have the right idea. They can't lose Butler for nothing in a few months and they can't risk alienating Towns (and I guess Wiggins since Glen is cutting him giant checks for the next five years). But, like, fire Thibodeau already, so it looks like way less of a clown show. Please. You already took away his power.
"He basically said, 'If you don't get anywhere with [Layden], and you've got something good, bring it to me," another high-ranking league official told ESPN.
Meanwhile, Taylor has far less of a stomach for a dysfunctional season of feuding among Butler, All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns and forward Andrew Wiggins and the damage that will do to the franchise's image, league sources said. The franchise's business operations want to limit the sullying of what had been until now a successful marketing campaign around the franchise's starry young core, league sources said.I was beside myself this morning, but we're really in uncharted waters here and it's hilarious. Glen is telling people to avoid Thibs and call Layden. If that doesn't work, just call Glen directly!

People like Thibs and Doc will be the reason why Coach & GM/Prez hybrid role will be eliminated going forward. Thus far, they've mostly ended in failure apart from Pop.
By DY_nasty Go To Postis there an assistant on deck or what?Ryan Saunders. I have zero idea if he's even close to ready to coach an NBA team, but being Flip's son will count for everything and they're not going to make an outside hire at this point.
Giving DJ a $20M+ per year contract and letting your scrubby son have too much input (and money) and play time is less than okay, imo.
Austin Rivers made 11M last year, and 12M this season... :|

DJ was getting that money either way tbh. That team was a contender too - they just couldn't get over some great teams because the team was mentally charmin

Anybody fits the timeline for the right price. tell Butler to take a short deal or bounce, the worst that can happen is you save 14 million on the cap next year
