Couple days later and I still can't go down my timeline without seeing some hateful remark about LeBron. Somehow alwaaays comes back to Jordan.
If you're hating on this man at this point, from a basketball standpoint, you're trying way too hard.

How do you guys feel about Steins article about Lebron & Blatts relationship?? I'll throw in some highlights from it. http://espn.go.com/blog/marc-stein/post/_/id/3896/lebrons-handling-of-blatt-unbecoming

I saw it from close range in my role as sideline reporter through the Finals for ESPN Radio. James essentially called timeouts and made substitutions. He openly barked at Blatt after decisions he didn't like. He huddled frequently with Lue, often looking at anyone other than Blatt.

There was James, in one instance I witnessed from right behind the bench, shaking his head vociferously in protest after one play Blatt drew up in the third quarter of Game 5, amounting to the loudest nonverbal scolding you could imagine -- which forced Blatt, in front of his whole team, to wipe the board clean and draw up something else.

My ESPN.com colleague Brian Windhorst, who ranks as the most credentialed LeBronologist there is after shadowing James since his teens, went on SVP & Russillo on Wednesday and posited that No. 23 actually wouldn't mind if the Euroleague import keeps coaching the Cavs because he "likes having Blatt to kick around."

Now I don't know how much you can put into this report, but Stein is usually pretty unbiased. On one hand I can understand Lebrons frustrations, my favorite players of all time, Kobe & MJ, were notorious for being difficult to deal with, but I do agree with Stein. Lebron is too good a player to be acting like this with his coach. I feel like this is one of the main reasons he went back to CLE, so that he could run things his way. I mean at the end of the day, isn't Blatt more credentialed than Spo was in MIA? You can't act this way with your coach in THE NBA FINALS, especially when you are down to 7 good players and playing a team as good as GS.

I don't see anyway Blatt is back next season, if Bron wants him gone, he's gone. Maybe SVG, Tyrone Lue, or Thibs will take the job.

^SVG been riding Bron Bron's D for years probably been hoping to get the opportunity.

Anyways looking forward to the draft. Impossible to say what the C's will do, could trade up from 16, could trade up from 28 or both. 33, 45 and the Wolves protected first rounder(1-12 protected next year or it turns into two 2nd rounders) should all be in play to move up. No reason not to consolidate those picks since they have the Brooklyn pick, their own and Dallas' pick next year (pretty much a lock to be 3 top 20 picks, not even that crazy to think all could end up lottery as i see Dallas slipping).

I know the Celtics like Willie Cauley-Stein, Myles Turner and Bobby Portis a lot. WCS is probably unattainable unless he slips to like Miami or Charlotte which i dont think he does. Other guys i like that will probably be available for us mid first are Tyus Jones, Sam Dekker, RJ Hunter and Ronda Hollis-Jefferson.

Couple borderline T-Mac suits

 

Jun 22, 2015

Excited for next season to see the what the Bucks can do. They're actually building a team here

 

Jun 22, 2015

Smh T-Mac looking stupid as f--- there. I agree with the 03 draft class there. Melo and the guy beside him (not Bosh but in front of Bosh) look stupid as f---.

 

Jun 22, 2015

Yup that Jarvis Hayes next to Melo, suit is ridiculous.

According to Wojo, George Karl has been pushing to trade Boogie all along. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/source...ings-to-trade-demarcus-cousins-051748948.html

Despite Sacramento Kings management's public insistence that DeMarcus Cousins is unavailable in deals, coach George Karl's intense desire to trade the All-Star center has made it increasingly unlikely this coach-star partnership can peacefully co-exist next season, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Karl has been recruiting Kings vice president of basketball operations Vlade Divac and multiple players on the Kings' roster to unite with him in making the case to owner Vivek Ranadive that Cousins needs to be traded, league sources said.

Since the end of the 2014-15 season, Cousins has become aware of Karl's campaign to move him – including teammates telling Cousins, sources said. All around the Kings and Cousins, there is a growing belief the coach-player relationship is irreparable. Trust is a constant theme with Cousins, and he's been unable to build any with Karl, sources said.

No one in the Sacramento organization – not coaches, nor players, nor support staff – wants to imagine the combustible scenario awaiting Karl and Cousins should the Kings try to reunite them in training camp.

Ranadive has remained the biggest Kings advocate for holding onto Cousins, and several sources indicate he has become irritated with Karl's insistence that the coach doesn't believe he can manage the supremely skilled and strong-minded star. Cousins has held a firm loyalty to former Kings coach Michael Malone, whom Ranadive fired shortly into last season. Under Karl, that relationship couldn't begin to be duplicated in the final weeks of the season.

Karl and members of the Kings front office have made it clear to opposing team executives and coaches that they hope to soon have a formal ownership authorization to actively shop Cousins, sources said. Kings officials, including Karl, have discussed potential deals informally with other teams, but no other front office has felt comfortable that any deal can happen until Ranadive is fully on board.

For now, the Kings are pursuing trade scenarios for everyone on the roster, including talented forward Rudy Gay, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Sacramento officials believe it will be difficult to find a trade partner that can give the Kings the value it wants for Cousins – and has a better chance to find a deal for Gay, sources said.

The Los Angeles Lakers have had significant interest with Cousins, but their No. 2 overall pick isn't as appealing to the Kings as finding a deal that includes established, veteran players. Ranadive doesn't want to rebuild with a move into a new arena on the horizon, and Karl is chasing Don Nelson's all-time NBA career victories record. Karl's interest isn't in cultivating long-term assets, but rather compiling as many victories as possible in the near future.

Most teams trying to trade into the lottery believe the Kings are determined to package the sixth overall pick to bring back veteran talent.

Gay signed a three-year, $40 million extension that starts with the 2015-16 season, a contract that has become even more palatable to teams with the sharp rise coming in the NBA salary cap. Gay has played well in his two-plus seasons with the Kings and remains a target of interest with multiple teams, front-office executives said.

Sacramento is motivated to find a way to create more salary-cap space with possible deals, something that the Kings will need to pursue Dallas Mavericks free-agent point guard Rajon Rondo, league sources said. The Kings and Rondo have a mutual interest, with Rondo intrigued with the idea of a potential one-year deal in Sacramento that could help to rebuild his league-wide value, sources said.

So there's that. And I'm not sure how to link the pics, if you follow sporsposters on IG he has them up, but last night Boogie tweeted an emoji of grass, a snake, and some grass, which is ironic because before Melo was traded from Denver he tweeted something like, "when the grass is cut the snakes will show". Iggy also tweeted "when the grass is cut" shortly before leaving Denver as well.

The writing is on the wall for him to leave, and I think SAC is going to start losing leverage everyday.
