Baby Lillard got his way and replacing Griffin in the all-star game.

ESPN Insider quizzed Dirk on how many guys have assisted him more than 150 times..thought it was a cool trivia question. There are 9 of them. If anyone has Insider maybe they can post? I have about 4-5 in mind. Obvious ones are Nash and Kidd. Also pretty sure Finley, Ellis, then maybe Nick Van Exel, Stackhouse, Barea?

Could the Sacramento Kings be more badly mismanaged? They are about to boot Ty Corbin and hire George Karl to be their new coach after the All-Star break. But it's all out there in the NBA rumor mill and Corbin is forced to coach these games as a lame duck with media frenzy all around him. How incredibly awkward. Not that I think Ty Corbin is even remotely good as an NBA head coach, but it's so unprofessional to handle the whole hiring process this way.

DeMarcus Cousins reportedly doesn't even want them to hire George Karl. And all this comes after the stupid trigger-happy firing of previous coach Mike Malone, who had the Kings playing great (relatively speaking), and without whom they've lost like 12 of their last 14.

This all smells like the work of their meddlesome owner Vivek Ranadive. He's also the one who pushed them to draft Nick Stauskas and who wants them to try playing 4-on-5 and cherry-picking.

Really good to see Mitch McGary healthy and producing for the Thunder. 17/10 tonight in 25 minutes of play, 19/10 his previous outing in 23 minutes of play. Very impressive.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

I really doubt it. I think he reads NBA forums, but we're probably too small-potatoes for him.

I have to admit that was the one time I didn't mind people quoting SDC here and ruining the ignore feature.

I wonder if they would be interested in moving Cousins if it's true that Cousins isn't a fan of Karl? I'm not sure why that is rumored, but I would give up a lot to get Cousins here. I wonder if Cousins could play the 4 with Len at the 5?
