Never liked seeing people being aired out in the media like that. Handle that **** internally.
I 100% understand why any Clipper fan would doubt BD.I feel like this whole B-Diddy to the D-League thing may be some troll move or will be filmed so he can make a documentary about it or something. There were times when he was close to his prime that Baron didn't seem that into hoops, so I find it kind of hard to believe that he has some kind of burning desire to really come back at 36.

Beal again acknowledged his minutes will probably have to be closely monitored for the remainder of his career.
Does Hakeem still have the record for a 4 game series? Klay might break that if they play Sacramento in the first round.
Now, he was the point guard, right? But he just walked out there. What about setting your man up? What about taking two hard steps away, then stepping into your guy, holding off, then [claps his hands] burst! You would think that’s just natural. But who coached him? I don’t know his high school coach. I don’t know his AAU coach. I know who his college coach was, but he didn’t start or play but 18 minutes a game in college.
People think that learning is easy. But if it is not a habit — OK, you watch Kyrie Irving. Every time he goes to get the ball, he steps into his guy and then breaks off — every time. That’s all he knows. It is a habit. I learned it when I started going to basketball camp. But back then, that was professional coaches at those camps, high school and college coaches teaching us. It wasn’t some guy that owned a car wash and had some money and decided he was going to start an AAU team and he was gonna be the coach because he read a book or he watched basketball, and thinking he can coach. No, I had professional coaches.
DUMB.So then when someone wants to come in and say, “Hey now, Andrew Wiggins didn’t do this or this or this.” Wait a minute now, hold on. We got it documented. And we show this to the player and they sign it. This is what we have done with you. So they can’t say, “Coach we didn’t do that.” Every day we chart every shot they take in practice, and games. The Timberwolves have never done that. I started doing this in Toronto on every player. Every player. So that at the end of the season when the general manager had questions, I could pull that book out and show him every single day for the season.
Um....Bradley, about that max deal you want....
I think Mitchell had a lot of interesting points about developing players, breaking habits, and coaching, but of course when you name a specific player like that.. it's going to be taken a certain way.

That's an interesting point and something that people do take for granted. Things like breaking off the ball or setting the right screen is a habit that you develop and becomes your instincts out there, so certain guys simply don't have that background where they've been taught those things consistently.. or other guys simply don't pick up on it fast enough.

DUMB.
Not dumb to have that kind of data, because I'm all for that kind of stuff.. but this is like insurance for himself and the coaches. "But but but.. we have the papers right here! The player signed it and everything, we totally worked on reducing turnovers" Give me a break.
Um....Bradley, about that max deal you want....
He's not getting it from us. Not at this rate anyway. He better come back a savage.
Cavs are 42-5 when James, Love and Irving all play together since January last year.
Add an unhappy Joakim Noah to the growing list of Bulls problems
A source said on Tuesday morning that Noah remains unhappy with his current standing in the organization, and “still hasn’t moved past losing his starting job’’ late in training camp. The source went onto say that Noah “hasn’t been a distraction by any means, but isn’t the biggest [coach Fred] Hoiberg fan these days.’’
This is not the first time that this has been brought up this season, with Noah feeling like he would be better served as a starter or at least on the court more often in crunch-time.
Privately, the Bulls have hoped that winning games would cure a lot of Noah’s woes, but that hasn’t necessarily been the case. It also didn’t help that the Bulls went 7-2 without Noah during a recent shoulder injury, and that he’s been the subject of trade talk.
As far as Hoiberg was concerned, Noah’s been very accepting of his new role, and was even taking pride in the fact of how the second unit has been coming together this season.
Then again, it also wasn’t an easy decision for Hoiberg, especially with Noah owed $13.4 million in the final year of his contract and headed for free agency.
In his second game back from the injury, Noah again had a minimal role, playing 15 minutes and scoring just three points while grabbing seven rebounds in the loss to Milwaukee.
Former Toronto Raptors and Phoenix Suns general manager Bryan Colangelo is getting strong consideration for the Brooklyn Nets' front office vacancy, according to league sources.
Sources told ESPN.com that the two-time former NBA Executive of the Year is high on the Nets' list of potential targets to succeed Billy King, who was reassigned Sunday after a 5 1/2-year tenure marked by modest success and record-setting spending.
But sources say Colangelo has quickly emerged as a serious candidate should the Nets go the route of hiring a proven NBA executive to succeed King and then pursue one of the top of available coaches, such as Tom Thibodeau or Mark Jackson.
Yormark acknowledged in a radio interview this week on WFAN radio that he would have interest in bringing back Kentucky's John Calipari to the Nets in a dual coaching and executive role, but Yormark also acknowledged in the interview that it would take "a lot" to get him away from Kentucky.
William Wesley, Calipari's coaching agent, has let it be known across the NBA that it would take an offer of no less than "$120 million guaranteed" to lure Calipari away from Kentucky, in addition to a president's title on top of coaching duties, sources told ESPN.
During King's tenure with the Nets, the team traded 11 first-round picks (including 2010 No. 3 overall selection Derrick Favors and potential pick swaps), made four head-coaching changes (Avery Johnson, P.J. Carlesimo, Kidd, Lionel Hollins) and spent $123.43 million in luxury taxes (including a league-record $90.57 million in 2013-14) in an effort to win now.
But empowered by Russian ownership's five-year championship plan, King's blockbuster trades that yielded Deron Williams, Gerald Wallace, Joe Johnson, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce mostly proved futile, and the Nets wound up winning just one playoff series over that span.
They don't have total control over their own first-round pick until 2019.
6 on a good day... and dem elbows.moar pix of Noah's sister.
Kinda a good thing... Billie Ocean lasted that long, as long as you can make competent decisions you good for a few yearsYou'd have to be a pretty brave man to take over the Nets mess,even the Sixers future looks brighter than theirs
