The Sacramento Kings had support for drafting Luka Doncic at No. 2 overall in 2018 from ownership, but Vlade Divac, Brandon Williams and Peja Stojakovic had concerns about his upside compared to Marvin Bagley.
Kings FO under scrutiny... ouch
The owner wants to be more involved in scouting, as I still remember that hilarious Stauskas draft video I’m not sure that’s the answer

LOL at peja and vlade making these decisions for a franchise. I think the fake handbag shop was more up divac's alley. supposedly vlade didn't like luka's dad, some type of balkan blood feud/pettiness

Perhaps you could sus out the pronunciation of Nicolò Melli and let us know why Mitch/Knox were not candidates for that spot. And then maybe follow up with why you think Knox should even be considered at all
Your incessant whining is old and played man

What Westbrook is doing is going under the radar this season- impressive that the Rockets have gotten a 31 year old player to change their game:
Westbrook is in the middle of one of the most sizzling stretches of his career, and obviously that's saying something. After posting 36 points, 10 rebounds and five assists in a win over Boston on Tuesday, Westbrook has scored at least 20 points in 25 straight games, which is the longest current streak in the NBA and the fifth-longest streak of Westbrook's career.
Since January 1st, Westbrook is leading the league in scoring at 33.1 points per game on over 52-percent shooting, which is the third-best mark in the league among guards attempting at least 15 shots a night. Where is the efficiency coming from? Westbrook has trimmed his 3-point attempts by over half -- from 4.9 per game through December 31st to 2.3 since the turn of the calendar year.
Translation: He is going to the hole like a madman. Even at 31 years old, there still isn't a defender in the league who can stay in front of him, and whenever the opportunity presents itself he's taking advantage of the attention defenses give James Harden to explode through sea-parting lanes. No settling. Very little perimeter shooting.

Rockets might not be deep enough to be real contenders but MDA is a mad genius! Evident by their inability to make it to the finals is he wrings about all there is from a team. As the playoffs go, the stars burn out. He over plays them. But if he does not they don't get there either. Rockets have lacked depth. MDA does not suck. I think he is underappreciated because of the playoff exits. They are a lot of fun to watch. Love or hate Westbrook/harden need not apply to enjoy what they do. It might be fools gold but its fun!
It would be superfun to see what he can do with our knicks.

I thought Gordon got robbed again. Wade with the sneaky move.

Why is Spencer Dinwiddie so obsessed with the Knicks? I'm going to laugh when he has to play alongside Kyrie for a prolonged period of time, or gets shipped out.

Don't forget Larry Drew coached after Lue and before Beilein, and Mike Brown coached for a year before Blatt. When they hire their new coach, it will be 6 coaches in 7 years. If this was the Knicks, they would be the lead story First take and all these Talking Heads shows and would be clowned endlessly....

He needs to go behind the scenes again and get Caris traded or he will be gone in a deal for a third star.
