On Sundays, we link to some of the very best work from around the basketball blogosphere. Do you have a link to a great basketball blog post – either your own or someone else’s – that you want to see featured on Hoops Rumors? Send it to us at HoopsLinks@gmail.com. Here’s this week’s rundown:
- Adam Corsair of South of the 6ixth breaks down the idea that Toronto should sign and trade Kyle Lowry over the offseason.
- Jason Ranne of Wasserman– a sports agency with clients including Anthony Davis, Draymond Green and Derrick Rose– discussed the “magnitude” of social media in today’s game.
- Craig Popp of Completely Biased Sports ran through a list of potential future NBA coaches.
- Brett Koremenos of RealGM found reasons for optimism with the 2016/17 Nets.
- Taj Gibson has found the transition to OKC “surprisingly easy,” David Ramil of The Step Back writes.
- D. West of SLC Dunk went beyond traditional boxscore stats to analyze Utah’s point guards.
- The “Giannis Antetokounmpo Dream” has become a reality, Paul Flannery of SB Nation writes.
- Big men- not guards- will determine the NCAA Tournament winner, Jonathan Tjarks of The Ringer writes.
- This year’s Final Four match-up lacked one-and-done college players. This was no coincidence, Sam Vecenie of VICE Sports explains.
I feel like a 3 team trade involving Bledsoe and Lowry would make sense since the Suns are farther away from contending. Not running anything through NBA Trade Machine atm, not sure how the offseason will effect salary matching requirements.
