Damn! R.I.P.
Probably the only woman that could coach a men's team and become successful doing it. -

Q: Are the nets interested in signing vets? – Steve Kyler: Names I have heard connected to the Nets were Jeremy Lin, Jamal Crawford and Al Horford. – via Twitter stevekylerNBA
Jacob Rude: Can I report on this? – Steve Kyler: If you want — add Rajon Rondo and Brandon Jennings to the report both are said to be mutually interested in Nets. – via Twitter stevekylerNBA -

They'll get over it the one they should have a problem with is Harrison no show barnes -
With Maker being 23 man that could be the worst pick ever. The thing ppeople forget is the failed players who ALREADY tried that '7ft w/guard skills' premise. There was a run on them after KG and all of those guys not only flopped but they were basically out the league by 23
Jonathan ? , Anthony Randolph, Perry Jones -

You are right. Thon Maker should have went to Spain or China and got some playing time against grown men.
Anthony Randolph was athletic but he had no skills on the perimeter. He would have gotten better in college or d-league.
My real stance.................
No mandatory age limit send them straight to the summer league then D-league. -

Rondo I can dig, ? even Horford. Ain't no way signing Crawford or Jennings sounds like a good idea.
I'm hoping the new coach pushes for a quicker tempo since we got some guys who can run. It should be something Horford is familiar with. -
UPDATE: A user named AussieBuck on realgm rang up the Immigration office for some answers on how age could possibly be changed.
"Turns out it's hard as hell to change your recorded age through immigration as I think I posted earlier in the thread but there's a way around that gets used sometimes by various refugees for various reasons. All you need to do is get that long lost relative in Sudan or wherever to "find" your birth certificate and send it to you. You take it to Births, Deaths and Marriages and get your age changed. Not saying I'm in on the story now (Lasry is turning me though) but this hurdle is pretty low. Could see that sketchy dude handler having a guy doing regular forgeries back home."
On draft night, fellow user /u/bigcritic produced a compelling photo of a yearbook which suggested Thon Maker was far older than 19. However, the snapshot was vague and couldn’t conclusively support these accusations. People remained unconvinced, arguing that all the students could’ve been listed alphabetically regardless of grade or were just members of a particular club.
When the Bucks drafted him with the 10th pick the debate about his age continued amongst our fanbase. Apologists were vehement that these were all just rumors from other teams trying to crash his draft stock. One of our users on realgm was able to locate a former student of his old high school who had the actual yearbook and he was kind enough to submit more conclusive photos showing Thon graduated in 2010.

BONUS: 2007 yearbook photo showing Thon in the 9th grade credit to /u/Spangher (if you compare the two photos you can see a few of the same classmates, just older)
BONUS: yearbook corner saying "year 12" - This disputes recent claims that it was an English class for kids of all ages. The video can be used to show it is the same page

Axel trash lol -
Does the age really matter? 19,23 who cares.
-
Happy as ? that it was just a rumor saying the wizards were going to offer Joakim Noah a max deal. Its bad enough they might offer Bradley Beal a max deal.
Sacramento does everything else dumb why not trade us Cousins for Beal? -

It matters alot actually 4 years off your investment as an nba team that's a less moldable player etc -

But his handler could've made something happen for him though. He could've walked on at a mid major school and put in work. -
Top 5 player in the league under 25, up tempo offense, just drafted a college superstar, oh yeah we have a top 5 PLAYER IN THE FREAKING LEAGUE yet we can't get a meeting? Is New Orleans that bad or boring to free agents? The Knicks doesn't even have a top 15 player on their team.
I'm sick of this disrespect. But KD freezes up in big moments anyway. So whatever. -
