Speaking of Delonte, I’m glad he’s getting help.

I never cared for Austin, but I pushed for us to sign him when he was waived during the 2018-19 season. Seth would be a good addition.

I love Seth. He can steal games when he gets really hot which isn't all that big of a surprise when he does.

I didn't know until yesterday either. Certainly adds some interesting context to the Seth Curry/Paul George confrontation in the playoffs, not to mention speaks well to Doc's professionalism.

Yeah that soap opera escaped me entirely. Paul George seems like a dick and the Curry family seems cool. Good trade.

for a roster that is supposedly so flawed, it's funny how there was no shortage of interest for the job and one who turned down what was apparently a sweet opportunity to go behind the mic, quickly jumped on it. also of note is that a former head coach who was just a single bouncing ball away from a championship berth, is surprisingly getting very little interest from the other jobs that were or are available. hmmmmmm

JJ talking to Matt Barnes about Philly

Watch this. It's good stuff. JJ says they fucked up not bringing him back because the team needs shooting on the floor and leadership in the locker room. Pretty much gushes about Ben and Jo and how he's still friends with them.

Doc press conference should be sometime early next week

Ben wants Sixers fans to vote for Biden/Harris

Love the people replying that he can't vote because he's Australian. *facepalm*

“We are thrilled to welcome Doc Rivers to Philadelphia as the new head coach of the 76ers. Doc is one of the most respected and accomplished head coaches in the NBA,” Brand said. “I believe Doc can help us unlock our full potential on the floor and further our pursuit of an NBA championship. I also respect and appreciate that his impact extends far beyond the basketball court as he truly embraces the platform he has to drive positive change in society. Doc is a great fit for our team and city, and I’m excited for what the future holds with him as our head coach.”

“I am really excited about the opportunity to be joining a world-class franchise, a franchise whose legend inspired my nickname,” Rivers said. “This is a city that loves sports and loves their teams. It's a city that values hard work and that is exactly what we are going to do and who we are going to be. We are ready to do good things in Philadelphia."

Doesn’t that imply there are bad things going on though?

There's no shortage of interest for most coaching jobs, regardless of how disfunctional the franchise is.

I think coaching two all stars is pretty enticing regardless of other issues, that said if they really gave him $10+ million a year for 5 years there’s not a lot of teams that would do that. The other teams with openings (Houston, Nola, Indy) are pretty cheap doubt they were matching that. Clippers would pay but obviously that doesn’t count.

Quality of applicants available.

Yea, I mean, Rivers would’ve had a cushy high paying tv job for as long as he wanted (and would’ve still been getting paid by Ballmer) if he wanted to take some time off. Instead, he jumped on a plane and pursued this job without taking any other interviews. The other two hottest names on the market seemed like they were interested in this job and that it may have been their top choice if it was offered to them.

That should be pretty encouraging for us.

press conference on now
