@Halbridious Saw a couple tweets mentioning that Sweeney is a personal fav of Giannis, and Orlando front office is basically Milwaukee redux. Interesting name to toss in the sweepstakes

On one hand, Sweeney is overdue, he has been the leagues preeminent defensive coordinator for years.
On another hand, they did not have a defense issue, fascinated to see what Sweeney does on O.
On a third hand it is 2026 and that motherfucking tweet says JEFF Van Gundy???

Sweeney will finish the remainder of the postseason on the Spurs bench -- with Game 7 on Saturday night for an NBA Finals berth. Former Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan and LA Clippers assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy were the two other finalists for the Magic's coaching vacancy, sources said. Sweeney, 41, has run San Antonio's defense for Coach of the Year finalist Mitch Johnson this season, guiding an improvement from 25th to third in the NBA’s defensive efficiency rankings, garnering praise from the team's young stars Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle. Under Johnson and his lead assistant in Sweeney, the Spurs made a 28-win improvement to a 62-20 campaign — tied for the third-most wins in franchise history — and have made a deep run with one of the youngest lineups in playoffs history.

@derekbrooks_ The real problem is, since teams aren’t tanking anymore, the bad teams will just be bad and be stuck with limited opportunities to get better. And it only compounds each year

My super hot take I don’t hear anyone else saying about lottery reform: I kind of dig the randomness. I think teams popping out of nowhere for a franchise changing lucky break is good.
After watching the Pistons drop to 5 three years straight, I’m good with whatever.

@derekbrooks_ The problem is the Pistons would be more likely to drop to 9-12 than go top 5. So now where would they be if they picked 9, 10, 11 those 3 years?

Only place I see reporting this, what % of cap is this @grok

BREAKING: The Detroit Pistons are nearing a contract extension with Star Center Jalen Duren on a five-year, $180 million. Detroit was working on this all regular season and are expected to get this done in the coming days.

@Charlottean28 It’ll be much more fun seeing the 8th worst team win the lottery and immediately vault to a playoff contender than seeing the 3rd worst team win the lotto and just be the 5th worst team the next season. Hope it happens more often than not. Create new contenders

Good. Mediocre at least implies you’re winning games at some point. It’s a minimum level of competence. The middle is no longer the worst place to be, which is all I’ve heard for 20 years.

What is the NBA going to do when a team purposely stays mediocre 3 years in a row so they can just farm picks that way?

If New York/Chicago/LA is the big three, what’s the fourth major U.S. city?

Anything under 25% I’m good with.lock it in. Best for all parties involved is to get it done at a reasonable 22-23% deal

My university is a giant house of cards that’s single handedly held together by its 71 year old basketball coach 😀

Within the hour, Clemson’s Board of Trustees is expected to vote to name Kevin Guskiewicz its next president. His departure from MSU after 2+ years makes it clear that the Board of Trustees’ urgently convened meeting 10 days ago was not enough to keep him in East Lansing.

@KuKhahil @dlee4three He has a great mind for this and the info he dishes out isn’t exactly entry-level stuff, but he does well in making it consumable for a guy like me that wants to learn.
Never feels like he’s speaking down to you like others can with analytics.

Very rarely do I find myself being jealous or feeling like I’m beneath someone else in this space anymore, but @dlee4three tries his best to make me feel like I’m not good enough and could be way better

@BARRtimeanytime How can that possibly be true in a draft with Dybantsa and Peterson?

Joe Mazzulla joins Red Auerbach (1964-65), Tom Heinsohn (1972-73), and Bill Fitch (1979-80) as the only coaches in Celtics history to ever be named the NBA Coach of the Year.

@derekbrooks_ @KuKhahil @ConeySnell It's a club option not a player option.
My guess is that OKC will pick it up, and depending on how Sorber etc. works out maybe they'll move him at the deadline.
Otherwise, he's a title-winning player for them, and I think they just eat the tax for a year before bleeding off $$
English
If JD makes 45m+, ijs you have to kiss Isaiah Stewart goodbye. You can't have a C rotation making 60m+ - & that will probably be more when Stew is extended. All yall demanding a payday need to understand that every dollar you give one player comes out of another players pocket.

@Halbridious @KuKhahil @ConeySnell If im iHart im opting out and seeking long term $, probably from the Lakers since they have cap. Probably a no brainer for him to hit this market as the most coveted UFA this offseason
English
@KuKhahil @ConeySnell Chet and I Hart probably can't last much longer (also both are probably better players than JD) and Chet can play the 4.
AD/Sarr is a 4/5 combo and also a demented fever dream and not a real teambuild.
Naz can play the 4 and also Gobert is a DPOY and better than JD.
