If the Spurs land Mike Conley AND Durant. Damn.
If they could even afford Durant in the first place like damn.
I'd argue it might be better than if KD were to go to Golden State since the team wouldn't be so top heavy.

with the salary cap going up, can't every team afford him or do you mean afford him after picking up Conley?
The Sacramento Kings interviewed Vinny Del Negro for the franchise’s head-coaching job on Monday, league sources told The Vertical.
Los Angeles Clippers assistant coach Mike Woodson is expected to meet with Kings officials as soon as Tuesday for an interview, league sources said.

By Moris Go To PostI'mma stay quiet til LA hires Fish. 🐟.
By 33MillionDollarMen Go To PostLMA does not want to play center. Incentives would have to be big.Playing with a historically stacked team isn't enough?
Also considering that this move would call for Tim Duncan to come off the bench it would seem rather selfish for LMA to refuse when a Hall of Famer is making that kind of sacrifice.
They could do what Giri suggested and try sliding Kawhi to the 2.
By IWMTB19 Go To PostCity is guiltySo I'm assuming no one on that Lakers list was interested in Sacramento? This is really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Oh God it gets worse:
Kevin McHale has emerged on the list of known candidates for the Sacramento Kings' vacant coaching job after engaging in exploratory talks about the position, according to league sources.
Sources told ESPN.com that Kings general manager Vlade Divac, while still in the early stages of what is expected to be a broad search, has sounded out McHale about his potential interest after the former Houston Rockets coach was fired just 11 games into the current season.
By DY_nasty Go To Postmchale would be great but its such a ….McHale may be the smartest coach going.
i don't know if mchale can give a fuck anymore tbh
Always getting hired. Probably getting paid by two organisations at a time.
Never giving a fuck.
I am telling ya'll McHale with Boogie might work. McHale seems like as much a personality manager as anything else which is exactly what Boogie needs.
Plus he's a post game specialist

By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostI am telling ya'll McHale with Boogie might work. McHale seems like as much a personality manager as anything else which is exactly what Boogie needs.Totally. Dudes love him and play hard for him, at least. He's not a bad coach, just maybe lacking in some of the more technical aspects of the gig. Pair McHale with a good defensive assistant and you're doing alright.
Plus he's a post game specialist
That Wolves team played hard down the stretch even after losing Al. I don't know how much blame to place on him for this Houston disaster this year since it isn't like Bickerstaff did any better.
By blackace Go To Posthe has lost both his teams completely tho…this
Also DMC doesn't need a buddy coach
if anyone needed skiles to fuck with them it was boogie
If they want a hardass coach, Sam Mitchell is available.
McMillan is a good fit for the Kings job, though, right? Good coach, a pretty straight up dude, has experience with Cousins through Team USA.

Boogie is too damn crazy for a hard ass coach. All he would do is pout and tell his Agent to get him gone. He needs someone who he trust and respects enough to allow them to coach him. They also need a coach that can stay Drama free and McHale comes off as that type of guy.
Houston is as much a shit show due to Morey as anything else. Also McHale obviously isn't the type of coach you want on a playoff team but the kings are pretty damn far from being a playoff team. They need some damn stability more than anything.

I saw a reddit thread earlier that showed Anthony Bennett having awful stats in the dleague and it reminded me that he existed.
There is one game that stands out for me because its when I knew there was no hope for him whatsoever. It was garbage time and he was getting extended minutes for the first time in a while. I believe he fucked up on the offensive end the previous possessions and was getting some groans from the crowd. Next time down the floor he is supposed to set a screen and he walks up to the defender in the laziest way possible and the home crowd boos him.

Anthony Bennett averaged 9 ppg and 3 rpg on 33% shooting in six games this year in the D-Leaguelmao

We hired a coach yet?
Wonder if cokehead will try to trade D'tective in the off-season.
According to a person with knowledge of Van Gundy’s situation, he has also been contacted by the Lakers and does have an interest in the position. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the process.
According to a person with knowledge of the situation, the Lakers have received permission from the San Antonio Spurs to interview their lead assistant coach, Ettore Messina, as a possible replacement for the recently departed Byron Scott.

You're all high on Messina and all, but do we know that he's good with player relationships/leading people or are we going by his EU success and Pop considering him important?

or maybe Mike D...
anthony bennet has to be the worst #1 pick of all time in any sport right?
like dude cant even make it in the DLeague
like dude cant even make it in the DLeague
so all the spurs would have to do to sign KD is trade danny green for space (100% doable even though he's seemingly lost his shot), and have manu+timmy sign vet mins or retire. That's it. Spurs and KD should get this done

Budenholzer would give up a 1st round pick for Danny Green, no joke.
By Kabro Go To PostMultiple sources says Luke is a lock for the HC job. Meaning the Lakers know he's accepting it.Broussard multiple sources or actual multiple sources?
By rvy Go To PostYou're all high on Messina and all, but do we know that he's good with player relationships/leading people or are we going by his EU success and Pop considering him important?
Basically.
I'd like to see him at the helm just to see if he could do it. Better than giving another shot to guys like McHale or Mark Jackson or Del Negro -shudders-
By Moris Go To PostBasically.Def agree with that.

Cousins should be traded
The team has next year then just until the deadline to turn things around to the point where he'd extend...I think you do more harm than good by attempting to do so--just seems like it's going to be impossible to keep him.
Get ahead of all of that now and gets some assets and start the full tank process...by the time Cousins is a free agent you end up with a few great high drafted players and maybe a good young player from the trade itself.

By KingGondo Go To PostHaha. That's awesome.And your colors. And font. And really just about every part of that brand excluding the arena. I guess the bison mascot is ok.
Can't wait until we change our logo. Jesus it sucks.
So apparently Jeannie had no clue Byron was getting axed. I'm not sure why you would admit the two top dogs are so dysfunctional they can't even communicate with each other, but ... there it is.
By Kibner Go To PostAnd your colors. And font. And really just about every part of that brand excluding the arena. I guess the bison mascot is ok.The colors aren't intrinsically bad, but blue is definitely overused in basketball uniforms.
Rumble the Bison is the only aspect they nailed. He's a great mascot.
But yeah, I'm with you on everything else. Something more along the lines of the Raptors re-brand would be great.
By Fenderputty Go To PostSo apparently Jeannie had no clue Byron was getting axed.
