2016-17 Around the NBA

The Derrick Williams 10-Day will cost Cleveland- $57k in salary + $144k in luxury tax.

I thought 10 day contracts didn't count against the luxury cap because they're minimum deals and those don't count against the luxury total either.

Draymond Green is 6 pts away from a quadruple-double.

 

[Errntknght]

didn't make it

Crazy that on a team with KD, Steph and Klay drawing so much attention, Green struggles to score even 10 pts.

That's not good enough for LeBron.

I bet Hornacek thought he had it bad in Phoenix with the whole Dragic trade demand, assistants fired, and the Morris twins fiasco but I wonder how he feels now about the Knicks and their drama.

He has to be looking back thinking that Phoenix was heaven compared to the Knicks situation right now.

Sources: Joel Embiid has a minor tear in the meniscus of his left knee. Surgery is not required. Details: (link: http://bit.ly/2lBujMP) bit.ly/2lBujMP

Embiid has a minor tear in his meniscus. I really hope I'm wrong about him but this is just one more significant physical issue to worry about. He's such a special player, this would be a big loss to the league if it turns into a recurring issue like it's been with Rose and Bledsoe.

I believe that no Head Coach position is heaven for Jeff. At best, give him a solid team (good attitudes, good balance) and he might maintain it until something changes. But he is neither an innovator nor a disciplinarian. He is a career Assistant. He doesn't have it in him to take a strong stand if need be.

I was thinking about Dan Majerle. When he initially wanted to be named the Suns Head Coach (with no experience), I was dead set against it. Also because Thunder Dan had a lot of growing up to do.

It looks like he has grown up and, of course, now has coaching experience. 'Although the 'Lopes recently went on a losing streak and Dan took the blame.

I wonder if the Suns have given that any thought. A Phoenix legend with coaching ability. And just a little bit of a loose cannon vs. the Horny type of choir boy. (That's Horny with an upper case 'H'.)

I was really hoping the Suns would get in on this

 

[Mainstreet]

The Nuggets trade a first rounder and Nurkic for Mason Plumlee. What a steal by the Trailblazers.

Mark Deeks‏ @MarkDeeksNBA
Plumlee was 23 when he entered the league. Nurkic is 22. The pick is only top 5 protected. Both for an upcoming FA that might not fit.
