ESPN Sources: The Suns have started to gather permission on several assistants for head coaching interviews, including Sacramento’s Jordi Fernandez, Milwaukee’s Charles Lee and Memphis’ Darko Rajakovic.
Keep Jordi Fernandez's name out of your mouths!

BMiller, Suggs + #6 + #11 for Scoot @ #3?
1.) 17 May 2023 03:46:48
No deal imma stay put.
2.) 17 May 2023 06:21:20
I guess so? I’d still be chasing that big deal though. Seems like maybe 3 would be a better asset in that case than 6, 11, and Suggs.
3.) 17 May 2023 19:39:08
Orlando would take that deal in a heartbeat. 6, 11, & Suggs for Scoot. Hell, throw in Isaac too in Portland wants him.
17 May 2023 00:33:11
Charlotte @ #2 and Portland @ #3 are VERY VERY interesting as in does someone trade up for Scoot Henderson since both of these teams are "locked" at the PG position.
Or is this the time to push Dame Time out of Portland? .
1.) 17 May 2023 02:48:16
I personally would move on from Dame. They don't have the right pieces around him to compete. That said, he's been a Blazer his whole career so I wouldn't be surprised to see the Blazers trade the pick for a star like Siakam.
2.) 17 May 2023 02:57:42
If they Blazers can get Scoot then I think I’d look into the future Scoot with Sharpe in the backcourt is dangerous for the future. Dame can get a haul back of picks and another young star. Simons can flipped for another young big/ forward.
3.) 17 May 2023 02:58:34
Hornets I think I would try out the Scoot/ Ball. If it doesn’t work then trade whoever you value less.
12 May 2023 18:42:00
What would an Ayton for Miles Turner swap look like in your opinion?
Does Indy or Phoenix have to add draft picks/ players. If so, which picks and players?
1.) 12 May 2023 23:43:42
Seems like a straight swap type of deal.
2.) 13 May 2023 00:01:50
Good deal for Phoenix. I'm also thinking that Gobert is a good fit alongside Durant and Booker. But Minny could look for a 3rd team for Ayton (Chicago? New York? )
3.) 13 May 2023 00:27:00
I think a straight swap works. Ayton is still young. Turner fits Phoenix like a glove.
4.) 13 May 2023 00:33:02
I value turner much higher and forget aytons contract.
5.) 13 May 2023 03:00:45
I need to see Ayton away drop Monte Williams & Booker before I consider him "trash".
6.) 13 May 2023 07:15:21
Hmmm. Indy does the trade and then drafts Hendricks @ #7
Haliburton/ Hield/ Mathurin/ Hendricks/ Ayton.
7.) 13 May 2023 13:08:40
I think Turner is the better player and he has a much better contract. Someone will take a chance on Ayton, won't give up much, and will still regret it.
8.) 13 May 2023 20:49:57
@Nightcap. Remember that Phoenix matched what Indy offered to Ayton so they apparently think he is worth the $$$$.
9.) 14 May 2023 06:42:30
Before Turner had a career year next to haliburton involved in way more ball screens.

@wojespn
Fifteen-year NBA veteran and ESPN analyst JJ Redick has interviewed for the Toronto Raptors’ coaching job, sources tell ESPN. Redick was part of a first-round of candidates to meet with franchise leadership.
WTF? Oh, heck no! ROFL!
1.) 11 May 2023 02:29:12
no stone unturned.
2.) 11 May 2023 03:56:15
@masaidisciple "no stone unturned" means that I should be getting a call to interview for the head coaching job as well. So "no stone unturned" is just blatantly false.
There are some stones that should not be unturned and JJ Redicks takes over the last 2 years are easy determinate that he shouldn't have been interviewed.
Now if JJ Redick get the job, think what that means for the direction of the team in the future.
3.) 12 May 2023 16:14:42
@Fredman - I can get you an interview but you'll have to pay your own way to Toronto lol
I do believe you are right about the future direction. My best guess is they hire after the lottery, which, if they got really lucky, could change that direction. I expect after that they'll move before the draft, as they will want the new coach to have input to whatever picks and/ or deals come up.
I'm really quite amazed how quiet the process has been for the Raptors. pretty much only Redick and Becky have been leaked as having interviews. But the Raptors also expect to lose some assistants and are interviewing for those roles also.
Some of the head coach interviewees may be more realistic for an assistant job (cough, cough Reddick, but not Hamman).
It's been 5 years since the Raptors have hired a head coach. I expect I'll hear more names that don't impress much, but i won't get concerned about it until the hire is announced.

RIP Legendary.

Still alive. I jinxed my Celtics. Lmao.
30 May 2023 00:58:00
Oh Darn. Scott Fisher us the head ref. Bet on Boston. Fisher has a record of not letting Miami win games.
1.) 30 May 2023 03:21:10
Man, guess I missed on that one.
23 May 2023 12:32:28
With the upcoming draft coming into focus for a majority of teams, what is the one thing that you are afraid of happening that will ruin your team's draft pick hopes? Please be realistic with one's responses.
For me? Indy trading up with #26 + #29 to move ahead of the Kings to get a "falling" talent like a Leonard Miller, Lively, etc.
1.) 24 May 2023 23:50:09
Drafting a new TJ Leaf over a good player.
2.) 25 May 2023 21:25:20
I’m hoping Grizzlies get Sasser or Lively
So if Lively goes to Warriors, Nets, Blazers before us then that would blow.
Nets/ Blazers could also be in the running for a new young PG like Sasser.
3.) 27 May 2023 12:07:26
@NBA16. I could see Kings going Lively as well if the reprts of his corner 3 shooting are accurate.
19 May 2023 12:26:56
Had a stupid crazy thought last night.
Spurs draft and stash Wembayama in the hopes of drafting Isaiah Collier to pair with Wembayama in the following year.
1.) 19 May 2023 14:21:52
Pop needs to develop Wemby as soon as possible.

Vezenkov led the league in PIR with a average of 21.2 per game and led the league in points per game averaging 17.2 points
Thank you Dallas Mavs!
30 May 2023 18:51:23
I think there is a tier rope at #5 i this draft. Not sure the pick gets Detroit a return that they would want.
30 May 2023 09:58:42
Yea, seriously doubt those 3 Celtics get Ja & Ayton in return.
And I doubt Memphis is interested in CP3.
29 May 2023 19:48:59
Easy pass by Kings.
29 May 2023 08:51:41
Is this pre-suspension or post-suspension?
29 May 2023 08:49:15
I doubt that package gets Dame let alone Dame + Ayton.
30 May 2023 14:21:28
How do you have home court advantage and only win 1 game at home?
30 May 2023 03:21:10
Man, guess I missed on that one.

It is still 0-"something" Nightcap. In otherwords it has never been done.
25 May 2023 13:02:32
Try 0-150 unlikely.
