At this point I'd watch an improved G League because it'd probably be more competitive and talent wouldn't be so fucking concentrated that we all know who the finals contenders are, or at least one of them.
the lakers implosion would be extremely entertaining if I wasn't a laker fan

One thing I don't understand is why everybody on the Lakers hates each other. They're supposed to be a team. Don't make no sense.

what
One longtime former player remembers the owner barging into the locker room following a loss to officiously instruct big men on how to set better screens. A former assistant coach was floored when Sarver confronted his boss on the way from the court to the coaches' office immediately after the buzzer to berate him on his substitution patterns. Another former coach was taken aback when Sarver marched into the head coach's office at halftime and insisted the team run a trap at an opposing point guard who had abused the Suns' defense.
“There's a perception of what a GM is and what a GM does, that you have to log the hours and open up the laptop. I've never purported to be that guy." Interim GM James Jones.
what
"It's not unconventional, we're just not out there with 12 scouts like most teams in the press box. We're sitting closer to the floor so we get a better vantage point. We're 4-5 rows from the court instead of 12-13."the less the scouts the better the seats
FOUR YEARS AFTER naming McDonough general manager, Sarver acquired some live goats from a Diana Taurasi event at Talking Stick Resort Arena and planted them upstairs in McDonough's office. The stunt was both a practical joke and an inspirational message -- the Suns should find a GOAT of their own, one who dominates like Taurasi. The goats, unaware of their metaphorical connotation, proceeded to defecate all over McDonough's office.
You missed my favorite part
Then there was the time in January 2012 when Sarver dressed down future Hall of Famer Grant Hill in the locker room at halftime for allowing former Sun Vince Carter to go off for a quick 15 points. One of Hill's teammates recently stated that the team found Sarver's actions utterly repugnant.
Ban this filth.
It's only a matter of time before James Jones' cavalier management becomes contagious and just lands him even more executive privileges with the ownership. Good for him. He's made it.

"The organization hasn't functioned to the level of mine or our fans' expectations, and that's on me to change," Sarver says. "If I look back, at times I've tried to use a formula I've used in business where I've hired younger folks and tried to mentor them. In my other business, that's been successful. But in this business, I've sometimes underestimated the challenges of the management responsibilities in today's NBA and the experience level it takes to do that."Who is Robert Sarver to mentor anybody? He doesn't know anything about basketball.
By rodeoclown Go To PostWho is Robert Sarver to mentor anybody? He doesn't know anything about basketball.He's a shit heel.
He seems to have finally pissed agents / management off enough that they're all complaining to Woj to do a hit piece, and so ESPN is now targeting him.
Good.
He can get sterlinged.
I fell down a Hotel Hell rabbit hole last week on YouTube and read that article imagining that Gordon Ramsay could be sent in to try to save the Suns in under a week's time.
The common theme is always the owner being awful.

By giririsss Go To PostHe's a shit heel.McD has some good media connections I bet he is leaking a lot of the info. I wish Sarver was more than just a grossly incompetent prick with no awareness but unfortunately that’s all that is coming out so there’s nothing that can be done. At least i’m young enough to out live him.

By Pac-12 Go To PostI fell down a Hotel Hell rabbit hole last week on YouTube and read that article imagining that Gordon Ramsay could be sent in to try to save the Suns in under a week's time.I'd not heard about yelling at the players in the locker room, but heard he'd been far too involved in coach decisions. That he handled a lot of contract negotiations himself, instead of letting the GM do it. And voicing a lot of "opinions" on who the right person to draft was.

Meanwhile, he once cut the salaries of all the non-executive staff in the FO. Including the receptionists who'd been there for 20 years.

And i'm not sure he's that strong of a Owner to out live a sustained campaign.
Or maybe i'm just desperately hoping he's not.
Simmons led the 76ers to a 2-1 week, including road wins over Western Conference opponents, New Orleans and the Oklahoma City. The week saw Simmons average 16.7 points, 13.3 rebounds, 8.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game, while shooting .550 from the field. He is one of two players in the NBA this season to hold these averages over single a week.sad

Maybe the NBA doesn't like people who get ejected or something? Don't see how Trae didn't get PotW either.
By jar155 Go To PostI like how Melo thinks he has enough game left to talk like that.Melo can still ball.

What the hell was AD doing doubling Rubio on that PnR with Gobert? And then lazily slapping him and picking up a stupid foul?
And then Jrue gets slammed into from behind by Gobert with no call. =/
