Are the Nuggets trading Jokic to New Orleans in this scenario?

Does Bovada actually exist? The only time I see the name they have posted odds on something that isn’t going to happen haha

Somehow the Kings escaping this season with not the worst HC firing is mind-blowing

Dayummmmm. Life comes at you fast. If I’m NY, I’m signing Mike Malone

Mike Brown not even on the list.

Jeff Van Gundy not a bad bet if you’re into that sort of thing.

Somehow the Kings firing Mike Brown when they did might not even make the top three worst firings of the season. Amazing.

When it comes to coaching decisions, the NBA is a joke. The Knicks core has been together 1 season and now they already need a new voice. Since there are about 5 good coaches in the league according to front offices and fans, why not just let AI do it?

Having said that, I was considering firing Thibs for those looks of bewilderment against the Pacers.

I hope Daigneault and Atkinson haven’t signed any new mortgages lately

With any coach we'd have to know if the players in NY just got sick of listening to the same voice. Them looking at newer coaching types sure would be one of those thanks Thibs for building this whole thing and now we'll go on with a cheaper coach who hasn't annoyed the players to the point of tuning out.

I get why the Knicks do it but why would the Bucks do this when they could probably get better offers from every other team in the league.

Great, when the NBA does away with the age limit this is probably the talent the Kings will be handing over to the Spurs in 2031.

So two guys who are already coaching other teams, a guy who’s retired and never coached in the NBA, and an assistant coach who’s on the verge of being hired to be the Phoenix Suns’s new coach. Impressive list, Dolan.

Toronto apparently trying to trade for everybody (although as 6’8”-ish forward, Cam Johnson is riiight in Masai’s happy zone lol)

Kings about to get more from the Spurs for De’Aaron than the Suns get for KD?
