The Official NBA Season Thread: Season Starts Now

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Hiring the guy that's been placed on leave for inappropriate relationship is one way to get the spotlight off Kyrie.

And off Tsai himself apparently

Allegations against Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai resurface about his company "funding genocide"

Ime's colorful language should work well with motivating Ben

 

[don ramon]

wild that ime udoka is now in the running.
people are really talking about this.
really unexpected given how he was portrayed

 

[storm2006]

I am confused.......would this eliminate league pass?

 

[htg designs]

Nash just got his ancestry report back and found out hes Jewish.

 

[shuges]

The Nets have to be the dumbest org in sports right now.

KD gives you an ultimatum of Marks/Nash or me but bc you wanted to "take back control" of the franchise, you allowed Nash to return..... only to fire him barely a month into the season? Laughable.

And you do the firing AFTER a win? Not during the losing streak where the team looked so horrid that they had to call a meeting? Hilarious.

And you wait until your team is playing a nationally televised game on TNT to make the announcement thus ensuring EVERYBODY will be discussing this news? Dumb.

And then news leaks that you're considering hiring a coach who JUST got let go due to his own scandal? Can't make this **** up.

It almost feels as if this was done to get the story off of Kyrie. Because timing wise, this makes no sense.

Nets gon Nets.

Probably more like a TNT thing. I.e. amazon and tnf

 

[pmatic]

Probably let them stream a few marquee games on a Monday.

Think they want rights to a handful of games like Amazon/TNF and Apple/MLB

 

[don ramon]

i might be wrong, but i think it would work similar to like youtube tv where they would include all nba league pass games for like a monthly fee whereas on nba.com they sell the whole season package

i don't think the nba would give exclusivity to amazon

 

[B Sox]

If BK wanted Ime they could pick him up from the free agent coaching pool. Just like anybody could pick up Primo a few months after everything dies down. Just like nobody has offered a pick for Ime up to this point. He would've cleared waivers too if that's the argument. If Boston doesn't rock with Ime why are they keeping him under contract and trying to get compensation? Because it's a business?

What if Mazzulla sucks and they actually did want to bring Ime back for next season after disciplining him? He’s a good coach that took the team to the finals.

If you are in fact willing to move him, you should just give him up for free instead of getting compensation? Seems pretty stupid.

 

[shuges]

Nash is a good coach. He’ll find his way on the Spurs Dubs soon.

At the end of the day you can’t worry about Irving. If he gets them to play defense and makes better decisions down the stretch it’s worth it. Kyrie has proven he’s gonna do what he wants regardless.

I just don’t see how adding MORE drama helps. Another independent variable of ridiculousness

 

[Mister Meaner]

Nash should be getting some AC experience.

 

[wavycrocket]

This Nets saga has for real been a trip. Soo many story lines.

It’s pretty crazy.

[osh kosh bosh]

the nba is the best.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Knew he was gonna end up somewhere sooner than later. So many teams with combustible situations. Nets were a prime candidate

Easy call

 

[rolaholic]

Ime about to bounce back much sooner than anyone ever expected.

About to become a Greenwich village staple too

 

[osh kosh bosh]

put the word out on the street, we back up.

You made an argument that the spurs waived primo because they couldn't get a pick for him. I'm sure if they held him under contract they could have eventually got a return for him because he's talented at what he does. Same situation with Ime. It comes down to two different ways of doing business. And now it looks like they're just releasing him so kind of moot at this point

 

[osh kosh bosh]

**** an owners wife in Q1 and you back as a head coach in Q2

**** is wild.

 

[pmatic]

The Nets did their "due diligence" for 20 minutes on Udoka and then hired him.

 

[storm2006]

Thanks for the explanation guys! That makes more sense. I think pmatic hit the nail on the head, though...It would likely have to be Mondays because that is the only day they don't have covered.

Monday - Nothing
Tuesday - TNT
Wednesday - ESPN
Thursday - TNT
Friday - ESPN
Saturday - ABC (after the Super Bowl/ASG?)
Sunday - ABC (after the Super Bowl/ASG?)

I am definitely down for more games/marquee matchups being streamed

 

[RustyShackleford]

Mans violated the whole Boston Celtics HR handbook and his ultimate punishment will just be a few months away at home

osh kosh bosh uncle right now...

Minor setback, for a major Naija comeback
