@DanieliciousFlo @SleeperOrlando I remember watching a video with him and Jalen Green going back and forth in high school when we traded for him. I really thought we robbed Denver lol.

Just a reminder of one of the most insane stats in the history of sports:

In 1998, Michael Jordan earned 123% of the salary cap by himself. He earned $33.1 million against a $26.9 million cap.

No Bull earned more in a single season than 1998 Jordan until Zach LaVine LAST YEAR!

Spurs HC Mitch Johnson, on the Orlando Magic hiring Sean Sweeney:

“Happy for us he’s [going to be] in the East”

#EverybodyIn

[Alex Walker @AlexWalkerTV]

“He’s really unlocked that fifth gear for these dudes.”

Spoke to my guy @Casey_Viera of @LockedOnSpurs about the DNA of Sean Sweeney after he was hired by the Orlando Magic. #EverybodyIn

In my opinion, Giannis' trade value is overestimated. He turns 32 in December, has dealt with numerous injuries in recent years, and has only one guaranteed year left on his contract.

[Jake Weinbach @JWeinbachNBA]

The Magic’s potential trade package for Giannis Antetokounmpo:

Paolo Banchero
Jalen Suggs
Jase Richardson
2032 first-round pick (via ORL)

Orlando is believed to be in the mix as one of the interested suitors for the Bucks star.

@da_nyce1 He'd be a great hire, at least his entertainment factor.

@kevin_tucker_ Penalty shootouts are so brutal. Chin up, Arenal had a great season overall.

[Timgeist @Timgeist13]

@TheGhostOfGeert That's true, but it will help their growth so much to hear another voice and experience new methods and ideas of basketball.

Sean Sweeney is one of the most highly regarded assistants to land a first-time head coaching job in recent memory. Magic fans should be excited.

[Timgeist @Timgeist13]

So the Magic interviewed Billy Donovan just to NOT give him the head coach job?

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Sweeney will finish the remainder of the postseason on the Spurs bench -- with Game 7 on Saturday night for an NBA Finals berth.

Former Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan and LA Clippers assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy were the two other finalists for the Magic's coaching vacancy, sources said.

Sweeney, 41, has run San Antonio's defense for Coach of the Year finalist Mitch Johnson this season, guiding an improvement from 25th to third in the NBA’s defensive efficiency rankings, garnering praise from the team's young stars Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle.

Under Johnson and his lead assistant in Sweeney, the Spurs made a 28-win improvement to a 62-20 campaign — tied for the third-most wins in franchise history — and have made a deep run with one of the youngest lineups in playoffs history.

@boliver36 I'm wondering how often does it happen that a former head coach serves as an assistant under his former assistant?
