  It seems an international coach with deep pockets and an eye for talent could clean up watching the unsigned players at NBA summer league. Possibly offer prior to NBA offers and drive up the price / urgency. Anyone know the restrictions on offering an unsigned draft pick? Can any NBA team offer? Does the team with draft rights then have rights on a match ? Does that window on draft rights for non guaranteed contracts expire in a specific amount of time? Can any international team offer? Can the NBA team with draft rights then have rights on a match?

  @bskeet In all fairness and to the best of my knowledge I don’t believe Collison has expressed a desire to coach so it is hard to include him in talks about potential coaches. Just sayin’…

  Caught some of Wayne’s game yesterday in the semi’s against the Blazers. Wasn’t his best of the summer. His team fell apart after going up 16 late in the 2nd qtr. Glad overall he had a great showing at Summer League which he can use as momentum for a spot in the Grizzlies rotation. I’m impressed at how hard he’s worked to overcome not being drafted.

  @approxinfinity looks like a good way to organize a bit. One for recruiting as well?

  @Crimsonorblue22 Other than Minnesota and Dallas, I haven’t heard his name connected to a team. His best bet at this point might be to go to Europe or China for a year and get some consistent playing time and then come back to the NBA. I really wouldn’t be surprised if his NBA career is over at this point.

  @kjayhawks I’m sorry but I have to totally disagree. Lavar Ball is that Dad on the side lines screaming at his kids. Plus What business does he have? Oh you mean trying to milk his kids for the life style he never earned? Yes Lavar is getting the free media, yet he is also putting extreme pressure on his kids to preform. It’s hard enough to stick in the NBA let alone with your Dad making claims you’re the best that has ever picked up a basketball. Lonzo could be a fine NBA player. Yet with his Dad spouting out his mouth the greatest ever. Anything less than a Lebron or Jordan type career. He will be considered a failure. That’s not cool.

  The way Frank ran point, it look like KU’s offense. Whoever was running the Sun’s point, I couldn’t see any particular scheme. Same thing when Fox ran the point; I couldn’t detect an offensive scheme. I really hope Self’s offense as Frank runs it has value to an NBA decision maker.

  Two thunderous dunks by Julian in the 4th quarter have helped Jazz take a lead after being down most of the game. Should be on highlights somewhere. Crowd went wild both times. Funny to see him bulky and bearded!

  @Kcmatt7 Unless he fixes his outside shot so he can score effectively in the League, Lonzo is just another poor man’s Ricky Rubio. I believe that Jackson has already done most of the “fixing” while at KU and now he just need to fine tune his skills and his upside and ceiling are higher than Ball’s.

  approxinfinity said: @BeddieKU23 awful news. so he can play in the Summer league and get picked up on a guaranteed contract by another team right? Not sure how that works, I assume the Kings haven’t given him any guarantee this year yet?

  Both bring about the same thing to the table. Kind of weird that they would sign both. I think they can both exist though. Grizzlies are OLD AS DIRT in NBA terms so I think they are looking for high upside guys that are cheap. BMac and Selden are both that.

  HighEliteMajor said: Tarik has to get a job. And when he’s done, he’s a lock to be a coach. Said it before – of all of our transfers, he’s the one I wish we had four years. Great guy. Strangely positive comment, coming from a troll (a dig at the accusers, not the accusee…)

  Jackson most certainly would have been tradebait if he had gone to Boston. Phoenix seems a better place than Indiana or Utah. There’s nothing to do in Utah! https://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/celtics/2017/06/28/celtics-may-angling-for-both-gordon-hayward-and-paul-george/UKTFuVwlAkWZlA1rb9H2BK/story.html

  At one time the Sixers were interested, would not be a bad place to be with an up and coming team.
