Unless they can get him on really favorable terms, I don't really understand why a rebuilding team would try to lock down a sixth man at market value who happens to play the same position as their most promising prospect. I like Bobby though so whatever

Some radio guy in Orlando says its Jim Boylan who may be the next coach of the Magic. Also says they're done searching now. I have never heard so many uninspiring coaching candidates all linked to one team

But the Sampson thing was Kelvin himself leaking it so that his school would hurry up his negotiations with them

I will never for the life of me understand why teams think Izzo would be a good NBA coach. He’s also getting close to retirement.

Izzo has been implicated in the whole Nassar thing (in that some of his players assaulted people) so he might be looking for a quick out to wash his reputation.

He really really should. He's way too thin-skinned for Lakers fans.

In a way I get where Lavar is coming from. If a guy has been working out in an old timey 50s gym his whole life the modern poo poo might be hard for his body to initially adapt to.

So I've been trying to stalk Jamal Murray for the last two years on his occasional visits back home and apparently I missed him last week so I'm a little bit bummed about that. But I did find what I'm pretty sure is his real facebook from when he was 14/15.

I'm a no. 1 fanboy OK. Having Canadian NBA players that aren't based out of Toronto is a novelty to me.

I currently live across from what seems to be one of Kitchener's more popular outdoor courts (this is not a high standard). There's like four courts beside each other and people will straight up use one of them as a parking lot while they ball in the next one down and I can't get over how funny it looks. No way someone hasn't had a windshield busted up from a stray ball.
