At least there are a few orgs in the league (Kings, Knicks, etc.) worse off than we are.

So he's meddled when he wanted, but now is basically dumping everything on Vlade, saying he's in charge of basketball. Because of course, Vlade has a ton of experience as a basketball exec and will be able to figure this one out.
Kings fans are claiming that all this was started by Cousins agent in order to force his way out.

Cousins should get out of there. Dysfunctional org that is going nowhere.

I feel like if this was 12 months ago, the Suns would have had a puncher's chance of landing Cousins as a young, feel-good team on the rise. Now, not so much.

I don't believe that joke is attributed to Mark Twain.

Have you all seen the new Hawks and Clippers uniforms?

Yay Cousins. I would be down for that if it were to - by some crazy stroke of luck actually happen for this team. We have no shot at signing at all star free agent we have to get via trade

Hawks really swung for the fences. Not sure how I feel completely yet but mostly positive. The Clippers needed a rebranding & should have went high dollar class. They didn't and they screwed the pooch. It has been universally panned.
Go Suns!

The home jerseys look to McDonaldish for me. I like the red one, meh on the black.

The Black ones look like some of the uniforms I've seen in the Chinese Basketball Association.

It's funny, because they look very close to what I designed for my club youth basketball team.
