I'm sorry to see him leave Miami but good for him. He's been Miami's DC for all intents so Mempho is a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine he does anything but sign a deal in Oklahoma that he can get out of next summer. Too much money they got too close this year. Come back, take another shot with Westbrook, wait for the second cap jump and to hit the ten year mark that increases your max value. Then make the decision in 2017.

Dolfan in NYC Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Yeah, but also remember, 2017 is an all but guaranteed lockout. He may opt to get his payday now and have security for the upcoming lean months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's going to have to kill it in the NBDL or internationally to get another legit shot. If he could change himself to more a role player with a specialty (3pt shooting or defense), it could happen for him. However, that's a lot of work and even more ego swallowing after being the number 1 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then make the decision in 2017. I think Durant stays. But I think with the money it takes to keep him, someone gets traded to compensate, and it's probably Ibaka who went from being a strong #3 scorer to being an afterthought after what Adams accomplished in the playoffs. Thunder threw WAY too much money at Kanter and especially Singler when they went all-in this year. And now they're about to pay the price for it.

Jiji Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Except a frontcourt of Adams and Kanter can work. There were plenty of periods where they looked dominant together. Ibaka ain't what he used to be. I think that team can win a championship if they trim a lot of the fat (Singler, Waiters, Morrow if they aren't going to use him, and a few others) and sacrifice a decent player (Ibaka) to get a proper 2 guard.

Ryan Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Trade for a returning Jennings and Montae Ellis and run a three-headed SG disaster for most of the game with Durant and Ibaka forced to play inside-only. Cue the 30 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he needs a serious skill and attitude/desire upgrade. Ujiri kind of implied that Bennett mentally checked out when he got sent down to the D-League and questioned if he ever had the desire to be an NBA player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Quote Authorities say Sacramento Kings guard Darren Collison was arrested Monday on a domestic violence charge after deputies responded to a report of a woman being assaulted inside a Northern California home. The Placer County (California) Sheriff's Office said in a release on Tuesday they arrested Collison midday Monday after deputies found the woman visibly injured. The office said Collison, 28, was booked at the Placer County jail in Auburn. He was charged with one count of corporal injury on a spouse and two misdemeanor bench warrants for driving on a suspended license. He was released on $55,000 bail hours after his arrest and is due back in court July 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this is a combination of getting out of the spotlight (hence getting out of the NBA coaching carousel and turning down an apparent standing offer from Maccabi Tel Aviv) and also getting the intriguing building project around his brand of basketball he thought he was getting in Cleveland before LeBron returned. Money ain't bad, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Blatt had an offer to be Kerr's lead assistant before he took the Cavs job. I very much wonder how that career arc would have turned for him. Also, people were raving about his Princeton hybrid he had in Cleveland before LBJ pretty much said no to it. As stagnant and boring as Cleveland can be to watch, two trips to the finals (including one without his best running mates) sorta proves that The King was right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 On the other hand, reports are the big turning point for them this season was when Lue, in a huddle, told Lebron "shut the fuck up, I've got this." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could sit ME on the bench to coach a Lebron team, and they'd make the Finals in the East. Blatt proved his worth in the Finals by changing the defensive and lineup schemes to actually give GSW a scare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Going to be interesting on the Warriors roster as to how they keep the bench together, especially after today. An absolute best case scenario (retain Speights, Barnes, Ezeli on what they are now, Barbosa/Rush/Clark/McAdoo/Varejao on the minimum) still sees them over by 3.8 mill. Guess it depends on how much Barnes wants to get paid (teams will offer it). Ezeli will probably get some too, I'd be much more keen on seeing him go, assuming that Bogut has value too though.
