Yeah, that Lakers article has layers.quote:Regarding Pelinka's fate, front-office staffers, coaching staff members and others close to the team point to the power and influence held by Linda Rambis. Her title within the Lakers is executive director of special projects, but Rambis, the wife of former Laker Kurt Rambis, is better known within and around the organization as perhaps Jeanie Buss' closest friend and confidant. And Linda Rambis, team staffers said, has long been an ardent supporter and ally of Pelinka for reasons some staffers said they don't fully understand. "Nobody gets it," one coaching staff member said. Magic Johnson was absolutely right to leave and tweet automated box score synopsis.

I think we're better off without Magic, but I still don't think we have great people left running the place. Just less bad than Magic

Don’t call fouls, be tough, break dudes down with crossovers and guard them by hitting them It’s definitely painful to be pushed out of the league by people playing in exactly the way you were taught was bullshit, and weakness

I think the playoffs are mostly fine as-is but play-ins are one of those things that I could see doing a lot of ratings.

It'd be really nice for those ~45 win teams to have some competitive games before getting bounced out of the first round.

There will be plenty of (monetary) incentive to try to at least get a play-in game and then the last couple games before the playoffs will be exciting for reasons other than Anfernee Simons going off for 40 points against the Kings.

Bill Simmons finally got his memos through to Adam Silver. The “cup” sounds like an interesting idea, but something big has to be on the line to make it worthwhile. I think I’d prefer 1-16 conference-free seeding over play-in games, though comparing with baseball it seems like something that will maintain attention and do big ratings.

Bucks look pretty locked in to their current core BUT if they let Middleton and Mirotic walk and trade away Illyasova, without taking more than 3.5m back, they would have max space. (you could also trade away Snell instead of Illyasova, but I think that'd be too difficult I don't see who takes on that contract). How about Kyrie playing next to Giannis? That would be an incredible fit and he'd be much better for them than MIddleton was this season. Not sure where that leaves Bledsoe, probably you package him early in the season to get someone to play the 3 now Middleton has gone (perhaps Covington in Minnesota? They need a point guard). Sadly I'm not sure Kyrie would be interested in going to Milwaukee.

One of the Hornets’ two beat writers is reporting that Kemba “wants to re-sign with the Hornets and the feeling is still mutual, according to league sources.” This is going to go so poorly

harperdc posted:Bill Simmons finally got his memos through to Adam Silver. Free seeding is a scheduling nightmare though. Everyone is complaining about the 9pm EST starts in the Finals, what if you have 6 of those in the first round? There could potentially be games overlapping each other because there wouldn't be a balance of East Coast/West Coast games. I think it would be more competitive, but it would hurt ratings and make games harder to watch.

The problem is so many people have money this summer that it's hard to think that someone isn't going to overpay for their parts.

i can’t imagine them getting fair value for capela unless they moved him for like ad or something it’d be stupid to replace him with an inferior version just so they can have, like, paul george or something

i’m mostly poo pooing morey panicking and screaming out for more stars every offseason like he’s the nemesis from re3; paul george is definitely better than capela in a vacuum but i feel like that hypothetical dieng trade would make the rockets worse

One could maybe argue that Capella is a good big to stick next to Zion and Julius Randle. http://tradenba.com/trades/H1f1BP3pE Maybe not the upside potential some other AD deals have but they could be competing with Zion sooner rather than later.
