Sund and LD? Interesting

[coachx]

He is from LA and son plays for UCLA. It would be a good move for Drew with a longer guaranteed contract. Good for him. Hope he doesn't bomb the interview.

Portland has 2 lottery picks...their best pick is #6.It will be interesting if either Drew or Sund end up there.......with all that is going on with Atlanta.

So the ASG is going to have to outbid another team for L.D.? Looks like we're getting a new coach after all.

Hire Lester Conner - via ASG pocket books

Speaking of that...I am surprised he was okay with his son dropping out of UNC half way through the season because he lost his starting job to Kendall Marshall.

Portland absolutely robbed NJ of their lottery pick by trading Wallace to them. They will badly regret that move in 2 years, if not sooner.

One thing that is interesting..."Likely to be let go",,,,This is the quote from the reporter.I know it's BS but if it were based on something true, would that mean that ASG has a coach in mind?If LD goes to PTL, I wish him well and hope he gets paid.. finally. He will be a really good coach for a young team.

This lottery isn't as good as people think. I would compare it to the 2004 NBA lottery with Dwight Howard.

I think this is a very strong year...strongest in a while

Dude, you're joking right?2004...You mean the draft that gave Howard, Smoove, Jefferson, Iguodala, Deng, Gordon, KMart, Allen, and Ariza??

[frankthetank966]

First off, there is no guarantee Drew is leaving. Secondly, what makes you think Portland would outbid the Hawks? What if they offer him same money, longer years?

[Sothron]

lol I can hear the A$G's assholes puckering up already. Another team wants our cheap GM and the league's cheapest head coach? Man oh man. Time to see Bob Bender as the new cheapest head coach in the NBA and another GM picked off the garbage bin that will accept having almost no power. Who could that be...

What I am talking about is superstar players. In 2004, there was only 1. I feel this draft is the same way. This draft has a lot of talent but B tier potential talent. We would draft someone who in 4 to 6 years could become as good as Smoove and maybe not. Edited May 16, 2012 by nbasuperstar40

I hope LD does move on to Portland or Charlotte (why anyone would want that job I don't know). We need a change in regime around here. Some fresh perspective.

[Joker]

Fire ASG.

[Guest]

If LD leaves and another assistance is made the head coach - I am done with this team.

[MaceCase]

Nobody noticed that LD will have succeeded in replacing Woody (or his clone) twice if he gets the PDX job?

Interesting...no reference to Sund as a GM candidate in this article.
