I was gonna say congrats and it's about time, but uh...

In 2021, there's a nonzero chance of this costing him, but we'll see.

going through the thread and some other stuff it seems like its pretty plausible he did it unless I am missing some critical info. Things were even more weighted against the victim in the 90s than they are now too.

Whether a plausible accusation from over 22 years ago is enough to dq someone is something for each person to decide but it would definitely make me uncomfortable at the least.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I feel like the fact it’s hyperwoke Portland hiring him increases the chance that he might lose the job before he even starts it but IDK. I am still inclined to think this new(old) revelation won’t change that much.

Huh. Scottie is not going to get over not getting the game winning shot drawn up for him in the ‘94 Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, I guess.

i dont know if phil is a racist but i know he made some dumb comments about lebron and his "posse" that didn't go over well a few years ago. From what I've read about Phil he seems to be a pretty abrasive person if he doesnt have a use for you.

I hate to say it but Pip sounds mentally unstable. Saying that play was decided based on racism is flat out insane.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I think Pip, to some extent, was absolutely right to feel slighted over Phil drawing the play for Kukoc at the time but to hold a massive grudge over it 27 years (and three NBA Championships) later? It seems...very off. Let's not forget Scottie recently lost his son so he's probably dealing with a lot of trauma and stress.

Not a big shock but the Hawks are making Nate McMillan the permanent head coach

seeing this on a few places on twitter no idea how credible it is although it is being said kemba is on the block

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

If he’s healthy, great trade for both teams. That contract is gross but he would provide what they need in the backcourt.

Congratulations @Mr. S£im Citrus .

I bet there's going to be some really fun discourse about this decision!

 

[Mickey Massuco]

They have had WNBA rosters in the game for a while now, so it’s about time they finally get a cover athlete. They need better promotion to gain popularity and stuff like this helps.

New coaching hires:

Orlando - Jamaal Mosley (Mavs assistant)
New Orleans - Willie Green (Suns assistant and 12-year vet with 5 teams, including a year in New Orleans)
Washington - Wes Unseld Jr. (Denver assistant and, obviously, son of former Bullets player and coach Wes Unseld)

Nate McMillan coached the Pacers prior to becoming an assistant under Lloyd Pierce in Atlanta. Pierce was fired this season and McMillan became interim and eventually permanent head coach. Today, Lloyd Pierce was hired as an assistant coach by the Pacers.

Report: Lakers have discussed sign-and-trade with Dennis Schroder, Kyle Kuzma and Talen Horton-Tucker for Russell Westbrook

According to a recent report, the Los Angeles Lakers have discussed the possibility of packaging a few key players together in a potential sign-and-trade deal for Washington Wizards star point guard Russell Westbrook.

I would do this in a heartbeat tbh. We didn't have any third option the last two years who could go out there and get a bucket.

According to The Athletic, Cleveland isn't just looking to unload Kevin Love (what's new? react) and Colin Sexton but potentially the #3 pick as well.
