MarcosLoura Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Oh Kings. Oh Kings you are the best, the best I tell thee. Kings' Front Office is Getting Another Makeover High profile former ESPN analytics guru, Dean Oliver who was hand picked by owner Vivek Ranadive, as Director of Player Personnel, and Head of Analytics a season ago, and who has multiple years left on his contract with the Kings - was told by new Kings VP Vlade Divac not to attend NBA Summer League. Oliver was in attendance anyway and was seen with King coaches. Oliver was not permitted to be there in his official capacity with the team. Divac has told confidants that he is strongly opposed to the use of analytics in evaluating players, and has halted all communication with Oliver. FUCK ANALYTICS BRA!

Zimbra Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Well, that was pretty disappointing. I turned it off when they started talking about Shark Tank. Do they ever get back to basketball after that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcosLoura Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Nope, Cuban just does a ton of promoting of CYBERDUST ™. I was not exactly expecting Cuban to go nuts over DeAndre and get 5M dollars in fines but Lowe ran away from that subject within the first question.

RandomAct Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I mean, at this point, not even Lowe is going to get any different info about the subject from Cuban. His stock answer seems to be "learn from it and move on". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I was kind of glad they skimmed over the DeAndre stuff since I feel like it's been talked to death over the past month. I would have liked to hear Cuban talk more about the rising cap and the CBA, but I can understand why he wouldn't want to get into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I never heard of Cyberdust until Cuban responded to the DeAndre situation early on. Even then, I read the response on a news site that saved the post. No need to sign up to Cyberdust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRGoldman Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Breaking: agent Rich Paul tells @Sportsnet Tristan Thompson will sign 1yr Qualifying offer with Cavs and be a free agent in 2016. I think that's been slightly misreported. Rich Paul said yesterday that if Thompson was forced to take the QO, he would not re-sign with the Cavs next season. As far as I know, no one has said he actually signed the QO. I think this is part of the Rich Paul play book, remember Eric Bledsoe didn't sign til September last year.
