I wonder how this affects KG and Pierce. Prior to this it sounded like Garnett was returning. Wonder if he still does and does Pierce now look to reunite with Doc?

If KG wouldn't talk to Ray Allen after he left as a free agent, then with Kidd...

but he didnt....outside of talking down about other coaches, he basically turned his nose up to a team who took a chance on a first year coach coming off dui charges, with a team with the deepest pockets, a new arena, and a more desirable location....
for a team bottleneck with cap, no realistic draft picks, still dont have control of player personal, that isnt a desirable, who hasnt had a big name player since...ray allen and before that hell lew alcindor, without a renewal of venue, who possibly could lose arena and relocate.

How is Detroit a dumpster franchise? Only 4 teams won more titles than them

If winning a championship is the only criteria that constitutes whether or a not a franchise is of dumpster quality then we'd have 13 dumpster franchises.

pretty much what he means
how are they a dumpster franchise when they have only been losing for a few years now after dominating the eastern conference for 10 straight years
if they are bottom of the east for another 2-3 years then i would call them a dump. last season was a shame, they had talent all around but obvious issues and coach caused it to be a complete failure.
next season will be much better with a proven coach who doesnt take BS. would have been nice for us to add a top 10 pick to the team for the hell of it but of course the NBA screws us over

Rose Not Openly Recruiting , But Welcomes Possible Additions
By K.C. Johnson, Chicago Tribune reporter
11:29 pm, June 26, 2014
In December 2011, shortly after the lockout ended, Derrick Rose uttered a character-defining statement.
"I'm rolling with Keith," said Rose, the league's reigning most valuable player.
Keith was Keith Bogans, the oft-maligned, then-starting shooting guard whom management waived later that month.
This is how Rose views teammates, which is instructional at a time when free agent recruiting has been spotlighted. He'll never publicly recruit players because he won't disparage current teammates.
But this stance doesn't mean Rose wouldn't love adding high-profile talent. In fact, sources close to Rose said Carmelo Anthony's camp is aware that Rose would welcome the addition of the elite scorer.
The same sources said a recent report that Rose preferred Kevin Love over Anthony is "fiction." Rose is in support of any improvements.
Free agency begins July 1. Rose's attitude always has been: Join the Bulls if you want. If not, he'll try to beat you.
"If it's not coming from the front office, you're not going to hear my saying anything about recruiting anyone," Rose said in December 2011. "The city speaks for itself, especially for basketball. If you want to come here, opportunity is here. The front office is great. Our fans are the best. We've got players who just want to win."

Again Detroit and Atlanta are being very proactive in improving their front offices as well as head coaches. That right there will make a huge difference right away. I think these two franchises just miss out on being in the bottom five organizations

You cant put Atlanta anywhere near bottom 5 until they start losing for a long time
im sorry, how can you be a dump if you are making the playoffs every single year. regardless of how mediocre the team is, a bottom 5 team cant say they have made the playoffs within the last few years.
yall need to stop.

Before they changed ownership they were heading in a really negative direction and were definitely in the bottom 5 franchises. From the ownership, to the GM to the coaching to the players.. it was a really bad situation for a while. They had like 20 fans watching them play.. but since they recently got new ownership their whole model changed and now they're trying to emulate the Spurs. They rid themselves of bloated contracts and deadweight and are now things are looking up with new management.

Championships mean a lot when like you said it's 13 teams that haven't even won 1, so you can't put a franchise that has won 3 in the dumpster category.

The only positive thing about the Atlanta Hawks is that theyre trying to become the Zombie Spurs. I hope nothing but the best for Danny Ferry and Mike B though

Im also glad Jameer's contract is finished. Im suprised they let him start for so long.
Orlando's roster is very likeable except for Maxiell & Glen Davis.
They still owe Al Harrington 7.5 mil tho
Still, they got money to spend this summer, hopefully attract good players
