I know AD is kind of washed and unreliable but I'd still trade Randle and Fournier for him.

Pass on AD. He’s a taller Randle who is always injured

All the Randle/EF hate would be doubled into AD. Those fans would love it.

Put his locker next to Kyrie.

The Brooklyn Nets are reportedly having second thoughts about hiring suspended Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka. League sources indicate that "strong voices" are encouraging Tsai to back off hiring Udoka to fill the Nets head coach vacancy, given the other challenges the franchise is currently facing.

Brooklyn was reportedly set to replace the recently fired Steve Nash with Udoka, but that hiring has not come to fruition despite being reported on several days ago. The Nets currently have Jacque Vaughn coaching the team in an interim capacity.

Brooklyn is in the midst of a suspension for point guard Kyrie Irving. Irving was suspended after sharing the link to an anti-Semitic film and failing to aplogize for that action. The Nets have outlined several steps Irving must complete before he will be allowed to return to the team.

Udoka is serving a year-long suspension from the Celtics for an inappropriate relationship with a Boston staffer. It was reported that the Celtics would not keep Udoka from taking another job, nor would Boston seek compensation for allowing Udoka out of his contract.

When was the last time an asst wasnt promoted when a coach was fired during the season? Believe that part is starting to sink into the Nets FO.

Women In Nets’ Leadership Reportedly Push Back On Ime Udoka Hiring

Brooklyn was expected to add Udoka as its next head coach

The Brooklyn Nets irked many outside their organization last week for their reported interest in hiring Ime Udoka as the team’s next head coach. It now appears those sentiments are shared by some within the franchise, too.

One day after NBA insider Marc Stein reported there have been “strong voices” urging Nets owner Joe Tsai to back off Udoka as the replacement for the recently fired Steve Nash, another report surfaced Monday broadly hinting those who might feel that way. NJ Advanced Media’s Adam Zagoria reported how there has been concern from “women in leadership positions” about the team’s rumored interest in Udoka, as shared by NBA Central on Twitter.

nets PR department been working 24 hr shifts ever since the big 2 came to town. Udoka is very intriguing because of his on the court resume...his off the court resume has some in the organization pushing back. Udoka will get another job, but the timing and franchise may not be a good fit right now.

Nets need to hire a Jewish woman for coach, stat.

Nancy lieberman. She coached a season in Gleague. Is announcer on Thunder broadcasts. We all know Announcers make great coaches, right? She is HOF cred. She could do it. not to say she does.
Just to **** with Kyrie would be worth it. Jewish food team dinners, Have an “In your face” Rabbi on staf, and of course inflict guilt trips.

When I was in high school, NBA teams sometimes would practice in our gym when the circus was in town. It was Magic's rookie year. Kareem was there, it was great.

There was this cute girl practicing with them, and she could ball. Great handle, could really shoot. All these grown men were acting like kids around her. Screaming for the ball "Nancy! Nancy!"

Asked the school coach who she was. Nancy Lieberman, she was attending UCLA, I think.

Would have no problem with Lieberman being named head coach. She used to go by herself to Rucker to play, learn the game. while going to high school in the 70s. NY product, and smart.

I would love for her or any woman to get their deserving shot. Could be a big positive in the short term. But I cannot imagine unleashing Kyrie, KD, Simmons, the whole Nets zoo upon them.

Crowder would be great for us if Randle were included in a big trade. He can start if OBI is hurt or not performing as hoped. As much as we all love our smiley Dunking fun boy his defense and playmaking is not a sure thing.
But if Crowder see's himself as only a starter, well that won't help his quest at the moment.

With PHX fast start without him its apparent both have moved on. With Ayton being matched and preseason disconnect via media reports he did not talk with Monty Williams, on top of the Sarver thing it all pointed to a bad start for them. They lost a preseason game to an Australian team? Seemed like Ayton was surefire going to get traded in January. Team is for sale, they are well coached, Ayton is paid, and seems that winning soothes pride.

Twitter is ruined without the validity of the blue check

May the technologically impaired me ask for an explanation?

The best I could deduce was that Twitter has killed Woj's account. Is it indeed the case?

UPD: Found an Italian source saying that someone bought a blue check and impersonated Woj claiming that the Nets released Kyrie and the Lakers traded Westbrook for Hayward. I guess this has been taken down since then.

"search of players 6.4 1/2 or taller who use 3 inch or larger sweet bands on left wrist, that have 3% or less of skin surface covered with multicolor tattoos on right sleeve, that wear a size 16 shoe, have yellow or blue shoe laces and shoot greater than 34.789? from 3 point"

Only one player in the history of the game has made that small list..........
Had to be Lavar POstell? right??? I have no idea

Personally, as a get off my lawn guy, I shed no tears. Not that everything used to be better - some stuff was, an awful lot wasn't - but the ADHD hot take culture has not been a positive for society, much less professional sports. In my opinion.

Bring back Dick Young from the grave!

It was just to designate actual sources. Without it you can’t really trust Twitter for news unless you remember the login name of an account. We post tweets here all the time as news sources so it had its uses.

NBA League Pass is about the same or less. Nothing but love for the Rangers, but I would rather watch the other 29 NBA teams than them. Loved USSR hockey as a kid, but somehow it did not translate to the NHL.

However, the NBA Leage Pass took a turn for the worse this season. Is it just the technologically retarded me, or have they removed the ability to download games onto devices for offline viewing?
