Kerr really milked that out, kind of a douche move too.

How do you know that? Per reports Kerr wanted five years with NY but they were balking about the 5th year. He went to GS and got the fifth year and gets to be near his family? Would you not interview for any job if you had the chance? He took the overall better deal for him and his family. Sounds reasonable and smart too.

Stan Van used Golden StAte to get unlimited power in Detroit. Kerr used NYK to get a 5th year in Golden State. Hayward is going to use Phoenix to get a max deal in Utah. Magic used a girl to get a chance to buy the clippers.

It's all good.

Jazz will try to insulate against rumors, but they will probably get used, or at least their name will, to help some guy an offer in Cleveland or LAL.

Boylen to the Cavs?

 

[Ben10]

Boylen to the Cavs?

That would make my day.

 

[framer]

Boylen to the Cavs?

Can you imagine the celebrations on this board. That would only be surpassed by the two inevitable events of the Jazz drafting Wiggins and Kris Humphries coming home to finish his career in Utah.

I think Humphries can play the 3.

We have a coach yet?

Jazz to interview Adrian Griffin

 

[Stoked]

It has been stated multiple times by various sources that the Jazz have 20 names:

In no order
1. Messina
2. Stockton
3. Boylen
4. Adrian Griffin
5. Lionell Hollins
6. Quin Snyder

Wonder who the other 14ish people are.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I would like to be interviewed for the HC position please.

 

[silesian]

First I never said "sure thing".

One can deduce "Stockton is a sure thing" from your statement "Stockton is not a gamble"

From your latest post, it seems you meant to say "Stockton is no more a gamble than any other coach selection" which seems more reasonable.

Spurs are innovators

IS there an assumption that john would not use analytics? That he wouldn't have a qualified staff of assistants crunching numbers? I don't think anyone that we brought on would get away with not embracing analytics under DL. This is not what I was referring to anyway. I was referring to a style of play that is often berated as old fashioned when it is not. example: The pick and roll has become more important in the NBA.(largely because the numbers prove what many have known all along)

Dude, you are jumping tracks, get the ADHD under control.

You made a sweeping condemnation of those who say "the game has changed" and asked in an accusatory way: "have you not been watching the Spurs these past few years?" One can infer that you meant that the Spurs today embody the game of yesterday, that they are bastions of conservative basketball.

I merely pointed out that on many dimensions the Spurs are leading innovators and not an embodiment of the past.
