I remember seeing this years ago

You think he can develop a jumper ?

I think so. They're gonna end up with Winslow, Johnson, or Hezonja imo. I feel SVG and co. can help him develop his jumper.

Curious as to why Gentry deserves it and why he is such a good choice

Because he's an offensive guru and is the one responsible for GSW's dominance along with Ron Adams.

Not to mention he's already had success as a head coach.

Responsible for GSW's dominance? Wow, I wouldn't know how to go about quantifying that 

He hasn't had success as a head coach. He's had two winning season in 12 years

If I'm the Pels I don't risk AD on an assistant coach (which by all accounts he seems to excel at)

When he had even marginal talent on PHX, he made it all the way to the WCF. Those Pisstons and Clippers teams were horribly constructed. He deserves much of another shot as these other retreads in Karl, Scott, MDA, etc. 

His impact on GS's offense is very tangible man.

I'm reading that KG Oral History on BR

and thinking back to all the massive deal players signed in the late 90s-early 00s........ before inflation...... holy crap those guys were making huge money

Other stars had recently signed groundbreaking deals: Shaquille O'Neal, $120 million; Alonzo Mourning, $101 million; Juwan Howard, $105 million.

Tangible, of course. To say he's responsible? Don't know if I can agree with that

That PHX team wasn't marginal talent either. They had legit talent

Can't do retreads man.. go with a new assistant coach at least

 

[hypebeast5]

Winslow needa develop the shot, handle, and everything else that isn't contingent on being athletic

 

[IATT]

I need Mike Malone to not be hired by anyone.. And the thunder can pick him up as an assistant

 

[hypebeast5]

Ever wonder how many balls Jahlil Okafor can fit in his hand?

View media item 1540015
That's 13, 13 tennis balls

2010 Suns were talented and a well constructed team.

Too bad they broke up that summer.

A few Wizards notes:

This...

Jorge CastilloVerified account‏@jorgeccastillo

Gortat said he loves playing with Nene but wants to play with a stretch-4 more often next season.

followed by this...

[emoji]10004[/emoji]@jorgeccastillo

Nene on playing more 5: “I hope not.” Said he’d be ok with coming off the bench tho.

I think the writing is on the wall for Nene getting meaningful minutes going forward. Wouldn't be shocked if he's weighing close to 290 to start next season because he's just gonna collect checks in his last year.

From 15th to 1st in offense, and Alvin Gentry deserves the lions share of that credit. 

 

[krazy88s]

The Sacramento Kings have had lottery picks in each of the past 8 drafts. Only 2 made an All Rookie team

Exactly.

He made the damn system, they have the exact same players.

Unless he's one of those people that thinks Kerr designed that offense in his first year of coaching.

 

[lightweight champion]

Both were Top 5 picks, not really a coincidence.

 

[krazy88s]

Ok, doesn't change anything.

 

[abubakr shaheed]

is a cp3 trade is being discussed/rumored anywhere? i feel like that would solve a lot of the clippers problems.

trade him to nawlins

 

[abubakr shaheed]

Exactly.

He made the damn system, they have the exact same players.

Unless he's one of those people that thinks Kerr designed that offense in his first year of coaching.

bring him to the bulls ASAP

 

[hypebeast5]

Looking back on Pau Gasol to the lakers it was a pretty fair trade, the lakers basically traded then for now

Look at Pop's comments on it

“What they did in Memphis is beyond comprehension,” said Popovich. “There should be a trade committee that can scratch all trades that make no sense. I just wish I had been on a trade committee that oversees NBA trades. I’d like to elect myself to that committee. I would have voted no to the L.A. trade.”

damn i hope this doesn't happen

At the time it looked liked a fleece but Marc turns out to be a franchise player.

Younger folks now don't understand how new and crazy that time was

The league went from decades of pretty straightforward contract increases to just chaos

Garnett was just 21 years old, and two years into his NBA career, when he signed what was then the richest contract in pro sports history: $126 million over six years. The deal, signed in October 1997, triggered fierce skepticism and derision, even among other NBA players.

"He is on the hit list," an unnamed player told the Miami Herald at the time. Although Garnett made the All-Star team in his second season, he was not yet a superstar and had not won a playoff game. Yet the value of his contract was more than double what Michael Jordan had earned in his career to that point. The price tag for Garnett was nearly $40 million more than what Glen Taylor paid to purchase the team just two years earlier.

This is insane

Charles Barkley played 16 seasons in the NBA and earned $40.3 million total for his career.
Kevin Garnett has played 20 seasons in the NBA and earned $327.3 million.
