mike brown still had 4 years left on his contract?
stay schemin :P
3 guaranteed and final partially guaranteed.
He's getting at least 15 mil from Gilbert. At least.
That is insane and he's still getting paid by Lakers?
Truly the Bynum of coaching
@ChrisMannixSI: Talks intensifying between Warriors and Stan Van Gundy, per sources. Van Gundy now Golden State's clear top choice. Moving towards a deal.
Yes!
Yes!
Noooooooooooon :-(
Zach Lowe @ZachLowe_NBA 5m
Wow RT @timkawakami: NBA source: SVG told Warriors he wanted total control of basketball decisions. They declined. He could get that in DET.
Not dead yet!
EDIT: Lacob seems intent on running this team into the ground. Hope Curry at least test the waters a bit in FA.
damn svg wants total control?
I think he's fine with not coaching at all, so why take a job that might (and probably will given how this franchise is run) present headaches down the line?
Wait... How is the franchise run? Lol at believing anything mark Jackson is saying. Dude is throwing everyone under the bus since getting fired.damn svg wants total control?

Both Gundys are pretty comfortable not coaching. If a team doesn't meet either of their requirements then they'd be fine just doing TV and radio.
Isn't he still getting paid by the Lakers as well?
LA owed Brown around 8 mil when they fired him, but him signing with Cleveland immediately after leaving LA got them mostly off the hook.
LA probably ended up owing him somewhere between 1-3 mil. I think it was on the lower end because Cleveland offered him so much per year.
The Pistons getting SVG because they're willing to hire Otis Smith sure is something.The NBA stands for nothing if not cronyism.
RT @WojYahooNBA: Stan Van Gundy and Detroit are negotiating on a five-year, $35M deal, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Pistons job might be a crater, but there won't be any expectations attached to the job, and he's got some pieces in place. You can contend for the playoffs with 40 wins in the East, whereas 50 might get you fired in the West.
Smoove might be easier to move than Bogut at this point to be honestThere were actually offers for Josh Smith at the table at the deadline. He could've been moved already.
All they really need to do now is drop Jennings somehow and get a real PG to work with. I'm already in love with what SVG is going to make out of Drummond.
Been a minute. Sup Gaf, slaent, proformell, whatever
Rockets are Lol. Harden is the best SG in the game and them analytics gonna let them cruise through the WC guys
HAHAHAH. They're basically a much worse version of the 2009-2011 Magic, in that they play no defense and none of their guys can hit a mid range shot to save their life.

I hope Charlotte gets the Pistons pick this year. The 8th pick doesn't look appealing at all.
Wait..what offers?
I'm shocked anyone would trade for him at this point. He gives no fucks on offense. Just long 2s and 3s all day. The man has negative basketball IQ.
If a dumb ass GM wants him, ship his ass out of town ASAP.

There's still hope that Smoove can stay out of his own way by being banned from shooting threes and bulking up to play the PF position full time again.
Don't think those rumours were true at all. And they seemed to be Dumars originating.I hope Charlotte gets the Pistons pick this year.

The offers for Munroe are very true tho.
Smoove won't be easy to move at all. He's displayed his true limitations. And they're extensive.

Monroe is a better PF tho...
Stan, don't do it! Don't sign with the Pistons! You're better than this.
I need to take a drive up to his house in Lake Mary. Be back in 30 mins...

I'm not sure about that. Monroe's a pretty talented offensive player, but he's very limited in terms of what he can do. His elbow game is definitely better than Josh Smith's, but neither of them can really stretch the defense. On the other hand, Smoove can make the All Defense team every year if his head was right.
If his head was right, lol.
I never wanted Stan in the first place, good riddanceI did, but definitely not for the Coach/GM, so if that's what he wanted, good riddance

Stretching the D shouldn't be the 4s main task
Monroe in the high post is epic tho
Smoove is an overrated defender in my book...
You don't give Thabo Sefolosha a max contract.There's still hope that Smoove can stay out of his own way by being banned from shooting threes and bulking up to play the PF position full time again.

i think he really got highlighted because of all the tools had he on defense and being the first in the new wave of doeverything SF defenders but he's not smart enough or committed enough to carry that label

If you have Drummond on the floor though, you can't give up so much spacing for another guy who can't shoot beyond 15 feet. Smoove can't shoot either but at least he offers some off the dribble creativity.
He might be overrated the last couple of years, but his 09-10 season was incredible.

Monroe is a better passer than their PG... dribbling to the hole isnt helping the floor spacing with Drummond also... Monroe in the high post does and if they screen correctly they could be like the Webber Vlade Kings
I never wanted Stan in the first place, good riddance
Who do you want?
p. sure I was more obvious about how much I wanted SVG and you would pick up me doing the jilted lover routine
Stan woulda been good.I never wanted Stan in the first place, good riddance

What about Nate McMillan?
He's not stats guy but he might be best of the rest.
And frankly, i don't think i want SVG running the whole show.

I love Mac 10... but don't know if he a great fit for the Warriors
Pringles might be the answer...
I'm not entirely opposed to Gentry or Pringles
Gentry maybe...but yall don lost it if you want Pringles
I might send some feelers out to Ewing...
He's quitely been sitting behind some interesting clubs. Served behind Stan for that finals Magic team and is it a coincidence that he was on the Bobcats bench the year they made the playoffs...
Greivis knows KD is coming to lead his favourite team to the promised land:
http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-basketball/24561431/greivis-vasquez-wont-stop-talking-about-kevin-durant-coming-to-toronto
It's like he's a normal sized person living in Mister Rogers' Land of Make Believe.
Vasquez: "Well, imagine if we get KD, Kevin Durant, 2016."
Hayes: "That's your guy, too, right?"
Vasquez: "And he'll lead us to a championship."
Hayes: "Are you calling your shot right now, Kevin Durant coming to Toronto?"
Vasquez: "I think he'll have statues right outside the ACC."

I don't think that's a fair comparison cause neither of those two have a reliable mid range jumpshot like CWebb did. The successful two big pairings in this league need that one guy who the opponent can't cheat off of beyond 15 feet (Gasol, Aldridge, Timmy, etc.). Again, I'm aware of the fact that the only discernable skill josh smith has on offense is getting to the rim and finishing. Not ideal, but it at least opens some drive and kick opportunities for shooters or lob/putbacks for Drummond. Basically be a poor (homeless?) man's Blake to Drummond's DeAndre.
Bottom line, you can't get rid of Smoove because of his contract. So you have two options: either you get rid of Monroe or you keep all 3. We all know how bad that second option turned out.

My breakdown based on the five minutes I've seen of him:
Pros: Height, life outside of basketball.
Cons: Running, jumping.
ESPN has him as barely a top 100 recruit and he's only averaging 1.3 blocks and 5 rebounds per game in high school so I'm guessing he's not good at basketball right now. Would be cool if gets good though.
