If I was one of those teams.... nah

Unfortunately no. I think the only way we can get around this is by uploading an avatar for your profile with the team you support. But it's definitely more annoying

I listened to this Q&A earlier today -- it's a great listen. I know Will was excited about a lot of the answers to his basketball questions (i.e. "how do you approach player development", "can you improve shooting", "how do you implement a 0.5 offense without good shooters"), but I was personally most happy about he answered difficult questions. At one point Will asks "have you spoken to Masai and Bobby in terms of the future of this team player-wise?" (basically asking if the Raptors are going to rebuild), and his answer was fantastic -- "I have spoken to Masai and Bobby about this, and we're working together on a direction together. I can't say more however, because the details need to remain in-house".

Literally all the coach needs to say. Remains honest, but also professional when there is something he can't divulge. Love it

Just watched the intro video. I mean, her name is Gaga -- it only makes sense!

I would have joined here, but the operator of the lemmy.world instance seemed to be better equipped to handle the uptick in traffic. I don't mind moving here, but definitely come join us if that makes more sense (larger community and active mod over there)

Good on the Pistons. Honestly despite the lack of winning, they seem like a top-class franchise.

Rico Hines is joining the 76ers as an assistant on Nick Nurse's coaching staff, sources tell ESPN. Hines had been a part of Nurse's staff with the Raptors. Hines is a former player development coach who has worked his way to a front-of-the-bench assistant.

Cam Boozer (top rated recruit in the class of 2025, current top draft projection for 2026 and son of Carlos Boozer) had the top line of 24/12/1 going 9/9 on 2PA and 1/4 on 3PA

FVV wants 30MM. If you're choosing between FVV @ 30MM or Harden @ 40MM, it's a real discussion. That's almost a full MLE player.

Teams with cap space that can sign him are the Rockets and Magic. The rumours of him going to the Sixers require more cap maneuvering (i.e. a S+T). I don't know how much he actually cares about winning, rather he wants his bag (and I say this as a Raptors fan).

Maybe the best situation for him is Orlando. They could be a play-in team as soon as next year, and they have lots of cheap talent on the roster so they can pay FVV the money he wants.

Good luck to the team that signs him. He's good, but he needs to be the 3rd or 4th best player on a team with championship aspirations

He'd have to be on a minutes restriction right? Honestly smells more like a decoy more than anything else
