    I think we all knew when the Cavs fired Mike Brown back in 2010 that he would get at least 4 more chances as a head coach.

    It's also insane that he's only 55. I would have guessed at least 60.

    As they say, fourth time is a charm.

    Sacramento was pretty good for him, although this hire seems like one of those "we want to hire Borrego but we're the Knicks so we can't and now we're going to hire both of them so we can fired Brown 18 months from now and promote Borrego then" situations.

    A lot of jealousy around the Lakers getting another #1 overall draft pick!

    What would Dallas even send back to LA if that were to happen? Assuming it would take Kyrie’s contract to make the money work :idk:

    if Lebron gets traded, he is heading back East because he isn't a dummy and Lakers would do him a solid.

    As a Knick fan, would gladly trade KAT for Bron straight up. I actually like KAT and think he gets a lot of undeserved hate, but he and Brunson on the floor together is a defensive nightmare.

    Sacramento appears to be going after Kuminga and that seems like just a terrible idea for everyone involved except for the Warriors because the Kings are weird and would probably overpay

    The Warriors, Kings and Detroit Pistons are discussing a three-team blockbuster that would send Kuminga and veteran point guard Dennis Schröder to Sacramento in separate sign-and-trade deals, a source told NBC Sports California.

    The trade discussions remain fluid.

    Schröder, on Tuesday, reportedly agreed to a three-year, $45 million contract with the Kings.

    The Kings, in turn, would send Monk to the Pistons, and second-year NBA guard Devin Carter and newly acquired big man Dario Šarić to the Warriors, the source said
