[NBA] Comments that don't warrant a thread (JUN)

[krylia sovetov]

so, we have both NBA & euroleague MVP's this season, and its first time that two players from same country made it.
but keep in mind that EL established this award in 2004/05 season....

Of course OKC has the rights to Micic.

Can I start the petition for Jokic's nickname to be The Beefy Burrito?

Interesting article on Bogi. A few comments from Bjelicia in the article. More than a few shots at the Kings.....

Tired: Vlade is an idiot for passing on Luka
Wired: Vlade is a genius for sparing us the headache and heartache of losing him.

My goodness, the cranial explosions around here would make Scanners look like Sesame Street.

Mark Cuban pretty much launching a full on denial campaign the second the Athletic broke its story sorta makes me feel like these reports are true.

Luka doesn't get along with Carlisle
Luka doesn't get along with Porzingis
Players don't know who is making roster/lineup decisions.
Carlisle rubbing people the wring way.
There's a guy that seems to have more control in the FO than he should because he has a close relationship with Mark Cuban.
Other teams don't know who to talk to in Dallas when they want to get a deal done because they don't know who's in charge.

I'm just happy to see that it's not just the Kings that have these issues.

People forget because he got a ring when the Kobe/Gasol/Bynum Lakers imploded mid-playoff series but Mark Cuban was the original obnoxious basketball 3.0 owner.

I hear there's a Kinko's around here that just recently fully reopened from Covid protocols.

Stan cashed in and then decided he doesn't really want to head coach any longer

it’s the freaking red wedding of NBA personnel files/injuries

Stan realized that his two best players played the same position and that all those draft picks weren’t going to help him win any time soon.

and the house of Walton survived

Luke Walton is the Tyrion Lannister of NBA coaches, somehow remaining in a position of power despite botching pretty much every big decision he’s ever made but still somehow beloved by the people that matter.

I don't see it as reopening old wounds. I see it as never, ever letting anybody forget what an amoral sewer toad the Ron Jeremy of NBA coaches is. Every day he gets fired is a good day.

Agree on him being a douche but the Kings' franchise was played like fools. Him getting fired just ain't the same with him still getting paid.

Well, now it’s Kwahi with a potential ACL injury.

I suspect we'll soon be hearing a lot about the consequences of the shortened offseason.

leave it to Kawhi to make a potential shredded ACL look like a pedestrian “walk it off” style injury.

on the one hand, good for Luka. On the other hand, if this means that Haralabos is in charge now, good for the Lakers and their quest to get Luka on their roster in a couple of years.

Maybe sitting out the playoffs was a good idea in this condensed, injury-prone year?

What a day so far for the nba. And there hasn’t been a game yet today.
