Yeah, that's kind of weird. Vogel hasn't been linked to anyone, so maybe he's just enjoying collecting checks for a while?

Watch this summer turn into a long and drawn out pursuit of Ty Lue that doesn't happen in the same way the KD trade didn't happen last summer.

They're fine. They won a gold medal together in Tokyo.

Barkley and Pippen won a gold medal together in Barcelona. Ask them how they feel about each other.

So what?

It would be an overpay for now, but he's only 24 and going to improve. $15-18M/year seems pretty realistic.

But…how? But why? It's almost certainly coming from Harden's camp to drive up his FA price. Jimmy, if it’s money you want, just opt in and stay where you are. There’s no reason for anyone else to pay you $35M/yr. He's on the downside of his career, so now it's more about years on a new deal than an...

I get where you're coming from, but if I'm the Grizzlies who're expecting Morant to miss a decent number of games, I'd rather have Tyus Jones than Chris Paul.

Speaking of the MLE.. 3-4 months ago I wondered aloud if Austin Reaves could get the full MLE this summer. I think he might get $100M now. What a season for him.

I think the Knicks were in the Finals the last time Frank Isola was a reliable source.

I’m not at all interested in Harden. He’s in the same box with Kyrie, stars who play with inconsistent effort. Not to mention he always comes up small in big moments.

My least favorite Monty quality was his reluctance to play younger players. I won’t miss that, but I think there’s a little James Jones at work there too.

That would instantly be one of the worst trades in NBA history.

Basically every unemployed coach and current assistant coach is a realistic option, but we have no frame of reference with how Ishbia thinks or who's in his ear besides Isaiah Thomas.

Chris Paul for Ja Morant?!?! Can you even imagine how that conversation would go from the Grizzlies perspective?

I know he's been an idiot for the past year, but com'on...

All things being equal, Nurse should pick the Bucks job over the Suns.

He may not have that choice to make; the Bucks may prefer Monty.

So an even larger indication that the Suns made the wrong choice.

He doesn't think this stuff is a problem. He got suspended for it before. He didn’t think he’d get suspended again, or are you saying he doesn’t think getting suspended is a problem? I'm saying he doesn't think his actions are a problem. That's the only reason he hasn't stopped. He just got caught,...

He still can't really dribble or pass, so I'm very skeptical of a new head coach getting more out of his "abilities". The best we could hope for is a more consistent effort.

The best we can hope for is he gets shipped the fuck out

That was assumed.

Kerr isn't an idiot, he'd never willingly leave Steph Curry.
