I'd be interested to see if there is some sort of match between the Pacers and Warriors.....

The Warriors could use another interior defender like Myles Turner, and could dangle Wiggins now that Kuminga is developing nicely.

Lebron fires another coach

The coach is the least of their problems but is always the first one's head on the chopping block. That ain't gonna fix their issues though.

It's a risky move for the Lakers as they'd have no future flexibility but if it's an option they have to do something.

Well they have no tradable 1st’s until 2027 at the moment. If they package a second 1st to Indy it wouldn’t be until the 2029 draft (you can’t trade 1st round picks in consecutive years). Not sure Indy wants to wait that long for a return.

Also sounds like the lakers are targeting Nick nurse as their next coach which would involve picks back to the raptors lol. Doubt he even wants the job but it’s laughable that the lakers are looking spend picks as they become available to be traded lol (you can only trade draft picks that are 7 years or less away. The 2029 pick is available for trade at the start of the off season). Having to give up two firsts for a coach is silly haha even worse considering you are already in a tight spot for draft capital.

Gotta be a record for any top 50 player.

I've been laughing about this one all day. Most likely it'll be Fizdale or Doc, once he's fired.

Lol at these Lakers...

You have Russ complaining he got no support from the coach (who by all accounts gave him more than anyone else).

And you've got Ellington acting like a tough guy on the internet...
