Not much special but it's a good move.
With Van Gundy's reputation, I think these Pelicans youngsters will be intimidated as a sign of respect. A famous coach that maybe can increase these youngsters morale to give their best in every game. Players won't likely to make mistakes.
Aside from hiring a famous coach, Pelicans should also revamp their bench players.
Do you have a suggestion for new poll guys? We can do off season championship poll or something about trades and draft related.
I have something on my mind. Will Anthony Davis stay in Lakers or go to other team, which team DeMar DeRozan will go or something like that. Let me know your suggestions and I'll change the poll.

"DeMar doesn't like San Antonio and doesn't want to be there," an anonymous agent told The Athletic.
We keep on hearing this kind of statement from players. What is really behind the San Antonio team?
Is it Pops? Management? Locker room behaviors?
IIRC, Kawhi's agent said the same thing.
Comments?
No one can tell the actual reason but my guts tell me is that this do particularly an issue about management.We wont know if those former players wont make any comment about it
but for sure it will really be their own personal reason.
Given on the link and showing off into the possible teams that seem he might fit then it will be better if he would be on Lakers. I agree into that commentary
that LA do really need some good ball handler for some add up.Knicks would also be a considerable option.

I would say in that case bucks would have to get a sign and trade, there is not really that much space for Giannis to sign with GSW because their cap is not good at all, which means they will have to trade Giannis to GSW and GSW do not have anything proper to offer to Bucks neither.
If they do it right now, it could be a good draft pick GSW will have this year because they sucked this season due to injuries, and they could give some future picks as well and they could give wiggins and some change and get Giannis but WHY would bucks accept that? Sure its some picks that could turn out to be good players, but they already give Giannis in that scenario, why would they want to get picks that "might be" good when they have MVP caliber Giannis at the helm right now? I do not see how this could happen at all.

I disagree with Giannis though, I don't think that GSW will be interested on getting him since the core is still there will good and young upcoming talents.
They were able to convinced KD to joined the team, I think they can also do that with Giannis if the MVP is willing to leave the team for a chance to win a championship. I believe it's a better version of GSW than KD having them as Curry and Thompson could certainly do their thing here.
For me it is just great for Giannis to stay at Milwaukee. If he will just be aiming to get a championship with that duo and Green on his team, I don't think that he would improve. He's still young, he could still grow with his team and make another hit in the playoffs. I don't know what they are lacking but I am still rooting for them in the next season.

Some seemed to forget how good the Warriors is as a team.
They have 5 trips in the NBA finals, won 3 of them, it's a championship team, even Durant leave, the core is still there, they will remain a championship team as long as Curry, Thompson, and Green are in the team.
here, worth a read.

Thank you Botnake for the link.
That is really worth the read.
A young team surrounded by champions. What will be expecting? A lot.
Looking forward to Wiggins putting a big exclamation point next season. I am hoping he can learn more from the core trio of GSW.
Although they are young, they are veterans in some terms like playoffs and Finals experience.
They had their rest, time to wake up the monster.

Wiggins needs to give everything he have and I hope he will be inspired playing in a championship team.
First they have D Angelo, it was a failed experiment, now they go Wiggins which I believe better in all aspects as he is also good in defense.
Curry and Thompson will always be the best players in the team, but they should be supported with the young players.

Does anybody have some thoughts if the current Lakers roster will undergo trades or on when LeBron might retire? What teams do you think would rise to the occasion to complete their line-ups?
Golden State Warriors is the team that everyone will look in for the next season.Just as they say, they will "come back stronger". Actually, it could be any other team where these champs would probably be traded. No team is weak for me but only underrated.
I think most teams are going to be interested next season.
I'm actually hoping for Curry to at least still have his game back since some point guards that comes out of injury really messes up their play style. Some guards at first were really aggressive but suddenly changed because of their injuries. Although for Curry, his shot is the most important thing about his play style and that might carry their team into another playoffs.
Lets hope that it wont happen to him and would able to showcase his 3 point shooting and ball handling skills on next season.
There are indeed players who do really get hesitated to give out their best plays once they had experienced some injuries.
This is somewhat an psychological issue since you do know that your body had past injuries then you will surely be minding
to be careful into your next games to avoid such scenario again.
GSW is a strong team specially if their star players would step in their foot to the court once again.
This is not the first time Curry was injured, he always come back so expect this one would be easy for him considering the injury wasn't really too serious compared to Thompson's injury, we will certainly see the same Curry here with a different set of teammates.
They will be great, trust me, trust the GSW if you are a fan.

Can the NBA still continue with the same set up like the Bubble in case there's still no vaccine? I think that would still be expensive while they are not anymore making the usual income, I'm just curious as well on how long they'll last with the current situation.
They have to maintain the same bubble. While most are out of the bubble, the NBA management could think of something new. A new setup which will be a win-win for them but nothing more, nothing less, the bubble setup was greatly made and appreciated by most of the fans.
I guess more money will come in eventually for the next season.
It's hard to expect that more money will come in the bubble set up when this is the reality.

Quote
For the NBA and its teams, financial losses will be front of mind. In a recent article, NBC Sports NBA Insider Tom Haberstroh estimated that nearly $500 million could be lost in ticket revenue without fans in attendance for the final stretch of the season. That estimate came from a "high-ranking team official" before the season was suspended.
The amount they are talking is a huge amount, that's the amount of money NBA has lost without a crowd.
I wouldn't doubt that sponsors will come and supporters understand the struggle for their profit. But that amount for them is sustainable. NBA isn't a league that was just made a few years ago.
They have been sustainable and stable for a long time.

Yeah, it sure is different.
I am not saying it is equal but just the fact that profits are still there.
Hell, AS won't be continuing into the bubble if there is none. All of that was calculated beforehand.
Now, they will need to find what strength is there when everyone is just watching online or the television.
If it needs to put more patches in every jersey then do so. Just don't let it become too heavy for the player.
Funny but if it's needed just to generate profits then they should go for it.
There's no many options for each sports who initiate the bubble type of settings so they needed to find ways.
Though I get the point that before they started this setup they already have the ideas of what will be the potentials and how they'll
be able to survive each games, calculations are being discussed and all those possible sponsors and possible generating profits are
being held counted beforehand, though for sure there's a big edge / gaps from the original setup but just to continue the organizers
and all the teams agrees to this setup.

You are right but the things that you had mention were also there before the pandemic. Meaning that earnings for now and before will be different if we will based on the number of crowds going in and pay in the stadium plus the food businesses they had outside for the fans to buy during the game. How many games they can get during the play offs and the finals? This is one of the that affects income to PBA. I think that this season still earn profit but are a little bit lesser compare to earning profit prior to covid19 pandemic.
Of courses there will be a huge difference just imagine the loss they got from tickets, merchandise and advertising. Everything will be less unless the setup returns to normal especially NBA also get revenue internationally especially on the Asian countries. By the way, this isn't a PBA thread maybe you got it wrong for a thread or just a misspelling.Yes, the revenue will certainly reduce, but NBA will survive just like us, so hopefully we will continue to support them, waiting til the new season comes.
