Its not football draft picks dont amount to much the nba they all are still huge gambles
In football you draft a ? you know what hes gona give to your team automaticly and more than likely hes going to be a good contributing player
Maybe even a star and thats a late pick
Ill take a young proven player over some picks in the nba, basketball players have a fragile ass mentality
Its a huge gamble imo
Jennings on the low looking better than all their current pg options
I still like mudiay tho
I guess you missed Lawson would be involved in the deal -

Whoopty doo -
You act like ty aint avg 15 and 8 also we dont know what none of these mid pack pgs will do with a better team
Like i said before picks in the nba are always extremely random in value
Getting more picks dont = ? -
Yea Jennings and Melo that's not a disaster waiting to happen...only in NY
-
Detroit is willing to move him for a mediocre player and would rather move forward with Reggie Jackson over him...but he's supposed to solve NY's problem at point?
-
Wasn't it just a couple years ago Jennings almost didn't even get a contract offer? Then got lucky Joe Dumars was still in the front office?

Epic niggie dance...
You racist ? lol -
They're doing this because NY doesn't have the patience for a long rebuild. The media and fans will begin to get testy. I don't think they should bring Jennings or Lawson. Build through the draft.

I'd agree but then signing Melo to that contract would make 0 sense -
Report: Mark Jackson tried to poison Warriors against Festus Ezeli
Mark Jackson took an us-against-the-world approach while coaching the Warriors.
That’s hardly unusual.
What set Jackson apart is how extremely he took the strategy. Often, it seemed Golden State’s own management was the “world” and only Jackson and the players were the “us.”
But maybe it was even MORE outrageous, to the point an injured Festus Ezeli became the “them.”
Zach Lowe of ESPN:
When Ezeli was injured last season, Jackson and his staff told the healthy players that Ezeli was cheering against them — so that he would look good, according to several team sources. Players confronted Ezeli in a meeting, and he wept at the accusation — which he denied.
I suppose it’s possible Ezeli actually cheered against his own team. But given what we know about him and Jackson, I doubt it.
More likely, this was just a cheap motivational trick on Jackson’s part – which is a shame.
It puts Ezeli in an impossibly unfair spot. Jackson is too good a motivator to resort to garbage like that, but sometimes his paranoia takes over.
Jackson doesn’t get enough credit for improving the Warriors’ defense. He probably wouldn’t have led them to a championship like Steve Kerr did, but Jackson put them on the right track.
However, there were too many unnecessary problems in Golden State of Jackson’s own creation. Even though he can do good things as a coach, that’s going to make other teams be wary of hiring him.

According to multiple league sources, the Heat are attempting to trade guard Mario Chalmers and big man Chris Andersen to help free up some salary that could ultimately be diverted to Wade. Both going into the final years of their contracts, Andersen and Chalmers are contracted to make a combined $9.3 million next season.
NOOOOOOO!

Ima sit on it until wade meets heat brass later on this week or next. Smh
Both of them ? are getting paid more than their worth anyway.. In part because Wade took a paycut to play in Miami.. That big money they gave Bosh didn't help either.. -

They should trade him for assets and draft picks. They signed him when they thought they were going to be competitive. But things have now changed, they need a thorough rebuild. -

PHIL JACKSON SPEAKS, ON LEBRON AND THE NBA IN GENERAL
This excerpt is coming from an interview he did with Howard Beck of Bleacher Report:
“I watch LeBron James, for example,” he said. “He might [travel] every other time he catches the basketball if he’s off the ball. He catches the ball, moves both his feet. You see it happen all the time. There’s no structure, there’s no discipline, there’s no ‘How do we play this game’ type of attitude. And it goes all the way through the game. To the point where now guys don’t screen—they push guys off with their hands.”
He concluded: “It struck me: How can we get so far away from the real truth of what we’re trying to do? And if you give people structure, just like a jazz musician—he’s gotta learn melody, and he’s gotta learn the basic parts of music—and then he can learn how to improvise. And that’s basically what team play is all about.”
The agitation in Jackson’s voice is evident.
“The game actually has some beauty to it, and we’ve kind of taken some of that out of it to make it individualized,” Jackson said. “It’s a lot of who we are as a country, individualized stuff.”
Indeed, Jackson seems much less concerned with validating the triangle than with the state of the game itself.
“When I watch some of these playoff games, and I look at what’s being run out there, as what people call an offense, it’s really quite remarkable to see how far our game has fallen from a team game,” Jackson said. “Four guys stand around watching one guy dribble a basketball.”
He....kinda has a point lol.
Buuuut we just saw San Antonio destroy Miami, and GS essentially destroy Cleveland with wide open team play
So Cleveland is really the only mfers doin this. And its all bc Bron is uncoachable. Lol
BUT he is good enough to win like that. As was Mike
So Phil aint foolin me, his 'offense' didnt win those titles, the best players did. Ie if Mike gets doubled and kicks to an open Kerr, that doesn't make it an "offense" or team ball lol Its still scoring based essentially off "1 on 1" play. Team ball is SA and Atlanta. On 1 hand SA worked, on the other Atlanta clearly aint winning a title no mater how much they share -
