Hill Scouting:  

We should trade Trae or DJM for Austin Reaves.  Reaves was good enough to make Team USA.  Trae and DJM weren't.  Case closed.

Coaches choose the players. Hill recommends the players. Grant recommended Trae but they didn't want him. He's not exactly beloved by coaches. 

 

Quin loves him

If you are in Hill's role and allow the coaches to choose the players to end up with roster like last time you have failed your job.  What else are you there for?  That roster was garbage and you saw it in the results which doesn't always happen given the depth of talent which covers some bad choices historically.

Also, I see so little chatter from Hill on Trae that it is incredible for a guy who is front of a mike as often as he is.  He should be part of changing the narrative on Trae.  He isn't.

Is that for real.  I've never heard that Grant recommended him.   After their last showing the coaches should be fired.

Not sure what it means, if anything.

Another potential sidebar to make note of here: Young continues to be represented by Klutch Sports — same as Murray — but league sources say Young’s father Rayford Young also recently secured formal NBA agent certification.

Sucks, they don't have anyone to trade us for Murray that makes it worth our while.

JJ had to play in 65 games to qualify. Too injured.

Joe Flint: While new NBA deals with current rights holders ESPN (Disney) & TNT (Warner Discovery) have not been struck as exclusive negotiating window deadline expires, both have strong matching rights should other parties swoop in with big proposed deals, per person the familiar matter.

Joe Flint: Would add that both TNT and ESPN have made progress in their talks and a scenario that keeps them in the game with a third partner added (Amazon? NBC?) seems likely.
