This could work out for the Clippers. They might finally get an owner that wants to keep them competitive: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nba-bans-donald-sterling-for-life--fines-him--2-5-million-for-racial-comments-181803437.html

Way overdue, this dude had no business owning a sports team. Clippers need a decent owner!

Lakers' coach Mike D'Antoni resigns

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni resigned Wednesday after less than two seasons on the job.

Team spokesman John Black confirmed D'Antoni's resignation, ending the brief tenure of the Lakers' fourth head coach in less than three years.

D'Antoni went 67-87 after taking over the Lakers early in the 2012-13 season. He replaced the fired Mike Brown, who lasted just 71 games after replacing 11-time NBA champion coach Phil Jackson.

The injury-plagued Lakers were 27-55 this season, their worst campaign in more than 50 years. With Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol missing large chunks of the season, Los Angeles missed the playoffs for only the third time in 38 years.

''Given the circumstances, I don't know that anybody could have done a better job than Mike did the past two seasons,'' Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said. ''On behalf of the Lakers, we thank Mike for the work ethic, professionalism and positive attitude that he brought to the team every day. We wish him the best of luck.''


The problem with this team was not the coach. Whoever replaces him has his work cut out for him.

And Magic with his "couldn't be happier" Tweet. What a dickhead. Beat You

A lot of people seem to be lobbying for Byron Scott. If you take away his record with the Nets when he could put Jason Kidd on the floor for 40 minutes a night it's not very good.

But he is an ex-Laker and in some peoples world that the most important thing. Head Scratch

They don't coach like this anymore. If you're watching this at work you might want to turn the sound down, Doug is a little aggravated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyJ7zrCBHoo

Doug is a little more polite to the referees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrD89k9KtXg

Not to worry Raider haters. The Raiders still suck and will probably suck for quite awhile.

All those LeBron James Miami Heat jerseys just became obsolete (or collectible depending on your point of view):

LeBron James returns to Cleveland

Four years after leaving Cleveland to chase championships with the Miami Heat, LeBron James is returning home.

James made the announcement in a first-person essay on Sports Illustrated's website.

"I always believed that I�fd return to Cleveland and finish my career there," James told SI's Lee Jenkins. "I just didn�ft know when. After the season, free agency wasn�ft even a thought. But I have two boys and my wife, Savannah, is pregnant with a girl. I started thinking about what it would be like to raise my family in my hometown. I looked at other teams, but I wasn�ft going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy."

Jeremy Lin joins the Lakers... And Pau Gasol joins the Bulls.

Not an improvement in Laker land, I think. Sweat

When he had Jason Kidd in New Jersey he was a good coach. When he had Chris Paul in New Orleans he was a good coach. When he had a bunch of stiffs in Cleveland he was a bad coach. And let's face it, except for #24, he's got a bunch of stiffs with the Lakers: http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/story/_/id/11270271/byron-scott-agrees-terms-los-angeles-lakers-become-head-coach

j. Lin!!!
A back up Nash and Lin leading it should be interesting, but it would be a slim chance Lakers making the playoffs this year.

Yup, pretty slim.

If Kobe wasn't so greedy, the Lakers would have more money to bring in more talent.

This could be why the Spurs are the best organization in the NBA, they're not afraid to think outside the box.

Spurs hire Becky Hammon as first full time paid woman assistant coach in NBA

The San Antonio Spurs made history on Tuesday when they announced the hiring of Becky Hammon. Hammon has played in the WNBA for 16 seasons, and after becoming a naturalized Russian citizen in 2008, played on the Russian basketball team in the 2008 and 2012 Olympic games. She can now add "first hired female assistant coach in the NBA" to her already impressive resume.

From the Spurs:


The San Antonio Spurs today announced that Becky Hammon has been hired as an assistant coach. Per club policy terms of the contract were not announced.

Hammon, who is currently in her 16th WNBA season, announced on July 23 that she would retire as a player at the conclusion of the 2014 season. Named one of the WNBA's Top 15 Players of All-Time in July of 2011, Hammon ranks seventh in WNBA history in points (with 5,809), fourth in assists (1,687) and sixth in games (445).

�gI very much look forward to the addition of Becky Hammon to our staff,�h said Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich. �gHaving observed her working with our team this past season, I'm confident her basketball IQ, work ethic and interpersonal skills will be a great benefit to the Spurs.�h

"She knows when to talk, and she knows when to shut up. That's as simple as you can put it, and a lot of people don't figure that out. �c She knows how to do it, and our players really respond to her. She's just a natural."

Mavs signs Japanese guard Yuki Togashi

DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mavericks have signed Japanese guard Yuki Togashi after he played on their summer league team.

Togashi averaged 5.3 points in four summer league games. The native of Niigata, Japan, played high school basketball in the U.S. at the school that produced Kevin Durant.

After his graduation from Montrose Christian School in Maryland in 2012, Togashi played professionally in his native country in 2013-14, averaging 16.3 points and a league-high 7.6 assists per game for the Akita Northern Happinets.
