Sources on @TheVertical: NBA is suspending Knicks center Joakim Noah 20 games for violation of anti-drug policy.
 
For all the verbal fellating Booker is receiving right now, I'd like to point out two things. First, if you didn't watch the last 5 minutes of the Suns-Celtics game, please do. Second, Brandon Jennings scored 55 in his seventh NBA game. He just turned 27 and he has played more than 20 minutes in a game once in the last month and a half.

Great post.
 
Pelicans were missing cousins last night. So of course they beat a hot Denver team by 25 points.
 
Kings reportedly in talks with Sam Hinkie.



I think this would be a GREAT move for the Kings. They don't need 'yes men' who Vivek can just walk all over. Hinkie is a true genius and I don't think even Vivek can resist going along with the ride.
 
LOL .. how's this for a bad trade?


DEN traded Nurkic to POR, not knowing that the game that could determine the 8th seed Nurkic would turn around and score a career high 35 points with POR beating DEN today.



Plumlee who DEN got for giving up a 1st round pick, scored exactly 0 POINT. Yup, ZERO point.



WOW.

I like how everybody leaves out the rumblings that Nurkic was so unhappy about his role in Denver due to the emergence of Jokic that he went full Cousins-mode in the locker room. He's had stretches of good play in the past. Let's wait until he getts used to Portland and see if he can keep his edge...

I liked your post because it's a good point, but otoh, had they given him the minutes he's showing he probably deserved, he wouldn't have been unhappy in the first place.

If you can't evaluate your own players correctly and as a result don't play a guy the minutes his talent warrants, you probably deserve the unhappy player and ultimately deserve to lose said player.

I'll never forget when it happened with Dale Ellis in Dallas. Dallas wouldn't play him, he's unhappy so they move him to Seattle and the next thing you know he's dropping 25 ppg and playing in All Star games.
