BREAKING: The Orlando Magic are finalizing the hire of San Antonio Spurs associate coach Sean Sweeney as the franchise's new head coach, sources tell ESPN. Sweeney broke into NBA coaching in 2011 and now lands the Magic head job as a top rising candidate.
The Kings will attempt to dump Zach LaVine’s expiring contract this summer once picking up his $49 million player option.
Sacramento, who’s ready to embrace a full-scale rebuild, attempted to move LaVine throughout the season with little interest.
Demar Derozan on Lonzo Ball being the reason he went to Chicago:
“I was hesitant on even going because I’m like they don’t even have a point guard…And they (the Bulls) told me the options and Zo was one of them. I’m like if yall get Zo I’ll 100% come”
