Seattle is a given of course, but I would like to see the second franchise go to a city without an NHL team fighting for arena dates and corporate support. Maybe Louisville or Kansas City.
And if the Seattle franchise doesn't adopt the SuperSonics name and colors a lot of people should be fired.

A little side note. Dallas is out of the playoffs and the Suns are still in and gelling as a close knit team all pulling for each other. Doncic and Porzingis are not friends and don’t really like each other. Porzingis isn’t happy being Doncic’s little used side kick. I don’t know why but this brings a smile to my face.

I hadn't heard that. Is this common knowledge?

Yea there have been a couple reports and rumblings out there for a few weeks now. Even Cuban said something to the effect that they don't have to be friends, just need to play together on the court. I don't know what to make of KP anymore, he's kind of just been relegated to 3pt shooter in Dallas. He was doing a lot more early on in NY and can't seem to stay healthy.

Yeah I obviously know that Porzingis isn't happy being a decoy in the corner, but didn't know they openly dislike each other.

I don't get why they don't use him more as a pick and pop or pick and roll. I mean he can post up or even run the offense a bit to get Luka some rest.

Really short turn around again to get back on the 'normal' schedule. I really wish they would be a December to July league instead of October to June.

It’s been an ongoing knock on him that he can’t post up. Apparently his center of gravity is way too high for him to be able to move anybody with his ass and he has to almost fade away even from 15 to get a shot.

Oh, here we go again. He's got a small waist, right? Kept Amare from being a better rebounder.
If somebody puts their ass in my face, I'm going to back up.

That's his time. He should have waited until the season started ala Shaq.

I'm confused. I thought Green was the best defensive player of all-time?

Among the 8 teams remaining, 6 are coached by former NBA players and 5 of those 6 played point guard.(Nate McMillan played enough PG to qualify, IMO.)
Monty is the only one who regularly played a non-guard position.
