Just in: Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Mike Gansey has agreed to become the new President of Basketball Operations for the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN. Gansey -- who rose the ranks within the Cavaliers front office since joining in 2011-12 -- now lands the top executive position in Philadelphia.
Last thing I'll say on the lottery/draft reform:
This essentially kills the play-in tournament.
Unless you were a team injured all year and have all your stars back and can maybe make a push, there is no reason to want to make the play-in tournament vs. the No. 1 pick odds.
You can’t tank, free agency is dead now, second apron limits your ability to resign talent if you drafted well, trades just got harder. How are you suppose to build lmao
Le jour où j’ai vu James Harden faire ça à Wemby sur 2 matchs de suite j’ai compris qu’il était le GOAT offensif sans débat possible (je l’avais déjà compris bien avant en réalité)
Harden was guarded by Scottie and Ausar who are two fantastic defenders, back to back in two 7 games series at the age of 36, and people are gonna shit on him because he’s not dropping 30+ every game like in the Houston days when eye test shows he has been the best player so far
