New Orleans not re-signing Nate Wolters. He seems to have quite the fan base here; you've got a second chance.

for example, scott brooks deserves credit for instilling a work ethic and culture in okc over the years but after the first 2-3 years, it became apparent that okc starting winning despite brook's coaching b/c of how good westbrook + durant were. this is not a knock on brooks but a realization that some coaches can do certain things and some can't.

this applies to dwayne casey and the raptors. at some point there needs to be a realization that be it a player or coach have certain limitations and i believe the raptors have now come to that point with casey. we have been winning games despite casey this year and our record has masked some serious fundamental flaws in both our offensive approach and in game management. it's very easy to criticize when teams are losing...but in a galaxy far far away on a raptors forum, i've been critical of casey all year b/c the fundamental way we play will not translate to postseason success. and our record against .500 or better teams is an example of it.

Didn't they just extend him?

he's on the 1st year of a 3 year deal. but ujiri hired all his assistants last season.

He is having a down yr and at 34 it is doubtful he is going to improve but you never know. Maybe they know something about the cap because they are going to be over the expected cap which will take them out of FA.

that is so damn strange. He is having an awful year ... maybe he is good friends with KD?

I don't get what OKC are doing anymore

GS is a healthy Bogut (or an energized Ezeli or Lee) away from being a one of the all time great teams. With any luck, they will be able to swap Lee (or maybe Barnes and Lee) for a solid inside guy or two. I kept wanting to see Chandler switch sides last night . . . just to see what GS could do with a shot-blocking big guy. I love Dramond Greene but Greene along with someone like Chandler would transform GS from great team to amazingly great.

Rajon ain't helping Dallas. Opposite as the Tyson trade was for them, the Rondo trade was/is/will be a monumental disaster.

20 games, you are making a declaration after 20 games. Nice.
