2014-15 Around the League Thread

Hard to rate their success when Kerr has taken over an already proven team that showed improvement each year under Jackson. I also think it's classless to bash a former employee. Especially considering the success he was having in a tough Western Conference.

I don't get it - why was this news? Seems standard to me or at least not glass shattering.

I dislike Mark Jackson for the way he tried to divide the lockerroom in Utah against Stockton. It had been documented and then the way he left Golden State corroborated it as an issue with him. Owners would not move on from winning if there wasn't a problem with him.

I agree that the owner was classless and thus my "favorite" comment was an exaggeration. But since I'm not the owner, I'm glad he said it.

Thanks.

I would have liked more elevation, or maybe more opposing players underneath the rim.

It was ok. Something about it doesn't make me rank among my favorites.

Suddenly, I have a new favorite owner - jackass but speaks the truth: CBSSports.com APP

Not sure I would buy it as an apology, but for what it's worth: http://basketball.******.com/wiretap/235794/Lacob-Apologizes-For-Comments-About-Mark-Jackson

That URL doesn't work.

Can anyone verify the second paragraph? That isn't true is it? I'm talking about what's in the link, not the title.

The Grizzlies-Spurs game, especially from near the end of regulation onwards, was one of the most memorable and best regular season games I've seen in years.

I'll upload a funny play-by-play from it later.

The biggest sports trades/player movement deals of the year have both involved Detroit.

David Price being traded to the Detroit Tigers.

Josh Smith getting waived by the Detroit Pistons.

I was stunned when I found out about both moves.

The last one is an Allen Iverson Santa Clause "Practice" commercial.
