Risacher is playing himself out of the top 5.

Eurocup finals. 22 minutes 2 points 1 rebound 1 assist 1 block/steal 2 turnovers 1-6 from the field.

Shams has an article in the athletic about the nets coaching search. He listed three candidates and Ollie is not one of them.  He said originally he was considered but they have since moved on.

do we really think this team would be that much better with ollie as head coach?

maybe a little bit because monty has been so atrocious, but probably not a lot.

then again, its really hard to be this bad.  not even **** vitale was this bad.

Is now a good reminder that Monty Williams is the second highest paid head coach in the NBA?

I think you are right.  

Maybe a different coach could have them a bit more developed.  But yeah, this teams ceiling was never over 20 wins.

right - it's just an amazingly bad assembly. How many line-ups could you add Cade Cunningham to and end up with a worse team?

They also have a lottery pick this year.  I believe it was from Houston and will be #12.

They also have 8 first round picks between 2024 and 2028 that are not their own.

EDIT: I meant 2025-2028.

Chet played all 82 games this season.

Victor played a very respectable 71.  I think most of his missed games were rest games and not due to injury.

Tell me that the NBA has gone soft without telling me the NBA has gone soft. These dudes would have been broken by week 2 in either of the Pistons championship eras.

If you compare Chet to Kareem, he's not that far away. Chet is supposedly up to 208 now, Kareem came into the league at ~225, an inch taller and a little older than Chet. Victor is another story.

all the good guys who were available who would be good fits for detroit will be signed.  good players dont usually become available unless they demand to be traded.

Guess I never knew what their contracts were like.

if she can keep people's interest in the league, revenue and salaries will increase.  right now its a money loser and has been propped up by nba revenues for decades.

but networks obviously see women's sports as a growth area.  espn is pumping major airtime and webspace into it.  the investment - in sports league terms - is very low and the potential returns are high.  if they want to televise mens pro sports the rights very very expensive.

If Giannis doesn't play a couple of these games, the Bucks could very well be headed home early.

I'm sure Doc Rivers will guide the Bucks through Indiana like a hot knife through butter.

Such a Zion game.  Drops 40, cant finish the game because he is hurt.

I didn't realize that they were paid that little in the WNBA, this is a #1 pick salary. Hell, that's in the range of what I make. No wonder these ladies are staying in college nowadays, NIL is surely more fruitful than this. Regardless, Clark is going to clean up with endorsements but, still, that's a shockingly low salary.
