Atlantic Notes: Fizdale, Porzingis, Eisley, Stevens

May 17th, 2018 at 7:55pm CST by marksuleymanov

David Fizdale becoming the Knicks’ head coach means he will need to cultivate a strong relationship with the team’s Latvian All-Star, Kristaps Porzingis. While Porzingis is recovering from a torn ACL, and is not expected till Christmas at the earliest, he will nonetheless be the key piece the Knicks will build around.

Speaking to reporters, including Marc Berman of the New York Post, from the draft combine in Chicago, Fizdale said he plans on visiting Porzingis multiple times in his native Latvia. The former Grizzlies coach added that he hopes to establish a solid relationship with the former Skills Champion.

“Multiple times maybe over the course of the summer. I want him to feel something different,” Fizdale said. “I want him to feel something that when he comes back here, it’s going to be special for him. He’s walking back into a culture and environment that’s set up for winning. That’s my biggest goal this summer, is to really bond with him and connect with him and get insight from him.”

In a separate story, Berman notes that assistant coach Howard Eisley, who is in Chicago representing the Knicks, is likely to be retained as part of Fizdale’s staff. We noted last week that Eisley may be one of the few coaches from ex-head coach Jeff Hornacek’s staff to be retained. Also, Nick Van Exel, who was rumored to be New York-bound, will remain with the Grizzlies.
Celtics head coach Brad Stevens is highly regarded around the league, especially by his players and front office. Nick Schwartz of USA TODAY Sports examines whether or not Stevens may be getting too much credit, thus discounting the effort of the players and organization for the Celtics’ success.
Stevens’ coaching and the front office aside, the players’ performance on the court, especially in the midst of numerous injuries, has catapulted the Celtics to the brink of the NBA Finals. A. Sherrod Blakely of NBC Sports Boston examines the biggest winners during the Celtics’ improbable run.

Pacific Notes: Thomas, Ayton, Doncic

May 17th, 2018 at 6:10pm CST by marksuleymanov

Soon-to-be free agent point guard Isaiah Thomas underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right hip in late March, an injury that bothered him since the playoffs last year. Thomas missed the first several months of the season due to the troublesome hip and his play was significantly impacted upon his return. Thomas, who was traded to the Lakers at the deadline, said in a tweet on Wednesday that he has made significant progress in his recovery.

“I haven’t been able to really workout & get better in over a year! Finally pain free,” Thomas wrote in the tweet. “This is going to be fun!!!”

Thomas, 29, was limited to 32 games between the Cavaliers and Lakers this season. He averaged 15.2 PPG and 4.8 APG this season, a far cry from his Eastern Conference-best 28.9 PPG for the Celtics last season when he finished fifth in the NBA Most Valuable Player award voting. As he enters free agency this summer, he will try to return to form and a healthy hip will help his cause.

ESPN college basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla has watched University of Arizona’s Deandre Ayton extensively and believes the Suns should take him with the first overall pick, Scott Bordow of Arizona Central Sports writes. “He has breathtaking talent and athleticism,” Fraschilla said. “His motor runs high, he has a terrific offensive arsenal and, while there are some chinks in the armor defensively, I thought his effort on that end of the floor (against ASU) was very good as well. There are people who want him to be a better shot blocker but I think that can be polished up.”
If the Suns do select Ayton as many expect, the Kings will consider options beyond Slovenian guard Luka Doncic. Jonathan Givony appeared on The Woj Pod and said that the Kings, who own the second overall pick, will consider bigs in addition to Doncic (via RealGM). “They have a real hole there in the frontcourt. I don’t think that they’re in love with Willie Cauley-Stein by any means. They started Zach Randolph at the four all year long,” Givony said. “What do they do there? Do they go with Marvin Bagley who is going to be a compelling prospect for them? Or do they go with Luka Doncic? His father is of Serbian descent. Their GM is Serbian. Their assistant GM is Serbian.”
Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee also weighed in on the Kings’ big decision with the second overall pick. While Doncic is the popular name, Jones suggests the Kings aren’t sold on him.

Nets Notes: Atkinson, Draft-And-Stash, Weissenbock

May 17th, 2018 at 4:47pm CST by marksuleymanov

The Nets hired Kenny Atkinson to be the team’s head coach prior to the 2016/17 season, which was a deviation from the norm for NBA head coaching hires. While Atkinson was a respected assistant coach, he had no head coaching experience and was more of a developmental coach; someone who works with players individually, aside from the usual team mindset.

On his podcast, The Woj Pod, alongside Bobby Marks and Brian Windhorst, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski noted that Atkinson’s hiring may be a blueprint for future coaching hires. With several teams in the market for head coaches, and more organizations prioritizing development, hiring someone in the mold of Atkinson is an appealing choice. Just recently, the Hawks hired former Sixers assistant Lloyd Pierce, who is viewed in a similar light as Atkinson (via NetsDaily).

“You may see a new vehicle in the coaching profession because all these organizations are saying there are so many teams in rebuild,” Wojnarowski said. “There are so many teams that are not trying to win and they’re saying for the next two or three years we’re gonna have a lot of young guys. We’re going to have some draft picks. And we feel like we’ve got to get those guys better.”

Check out more Nets notes below:

With the Nets wielding a late first-round pick and two second-round picks in this year’s draft, the team can get creative with their prospective selections. During a recent interview, the Nets’ director of player personnel, Gregg Polinsky, indicated the team could go the draft-and-stash route by selecting a European player and giving him the chance to develop overseas, per NetsDaily.
Brose Bamberg, a top team in Germany, will be lending the services of player development coach Stefan Weissenbock to the Nets this summer, NetsDaily relays. Weissenbock will travel to New York several times over the summer while Bamberg will receive a rental fee for his services, per the report. He has worked with several NBA players.
As we noted yesterday, Nets assistant general manager Trajan Langdon is among several candidates for the Pistons’ basketball operations position.

Draft Notes: DiVincenzo, Hutchison, Bamba, Cheatham

May 17th, 2018 at 4:00pm CST by Luke Adams

Villanova sophomore Donte DiVincenzo, who is participating in 5-on-5 play at this week’s draft combine in Chicago, has yet to hire an agent, which gives him the opportunity of returning to the Wildcats for his junior year. However, he tells ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski that he expects to go pro if he’s confident by the May 30 withdrawal deadline that he’ll be drafted in the first round.

“I think I have a really good chance to being a late first-round pick,” DiVincenzo told Wojnarowski. “Obviously, things can change, other people can fall in the draft. I’m aware of that. But my confidence level is that I can be a first-round pick.”

As DiVincenzo looks to prove his worth, let’s round up a few more draft-related items…

We heard on Wednesday that Boise State’s Chandler Hutchison had withdrawn from the combine, though at the time the reason was unclear. ESPN’s Jonathan Givony tweets that Hutchison has also canceled all his workouts after receiving assurances that he’s found a “safe landing spot.” Givony speculates that a team picking in the 20s may have given Hutchison a promise.
The NBA released the official list of measurements for 2018’s draft combine participants today, and there are some interesting results hidden within that list. The most notable measurement might belong to Mohamed Bamba, who has a staggering 7’10” wingspan.

Bucks Officially Name Mike Budenholzer Head Coach

May 17th, 2018 at 3:29pm CST by Luke Adams

The Bucks have made their latest hire official, announcing today in a press release that Mike Budenholzer is the club’s new head coach. Reports on Wednesday indicated that Budenholzer and the Bucks had agreed to a four-year contract.

“We are thrilled to welcome Mike Budenholzer as the head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks,” Bucks GM Jon Horst said in a statement. “Mike has played a key role in building successful teams throughout his career. He’s widely respected and has shown a special ability to teach and develop players. His leadership, basketball intellect, championship-level experience and communication skills make him the right fit to take our team to the next level.”

The Bucks’ co-owners, who were reportedly involved in meetings with Budenholzer and fellow finalist Ettore Messina, also offered a statement on the club’s new head coach.

“After a thorough coaching search, it was clear that Mike was the ideal choice as we enter into a new era of Bucks Basketball,” said Wes Edens, Marc Lasry, and Jamie Dinan. “Mike has demonstrated the ability to lead and communicate, and understands what it takes to build a winning culture. This move puts our organization in a terrific position as we work together toward our collective goal of sustained success and winning championships.”

Budenholzer spent the past five seasons as the head coach of the Hawks before parting ways with the franchise last month. Atlanta launched a rebuilding project this year after four straight playoff appearances and Budenholzer reportedly didn’t want to go through that process. He was 213-197 with the Hawks, including a 24-58 mark this season.

Budenholzer was one of at least eight candidates who interviewed for the Bucks’ head coaching job, along with Messina, Steve Clifford, Monty Williams, David Blatt, Becky Hammon, and Jay Larranaga. Interim head coach Joe Prunty also interviewed for the permanent job, but he’ll be replaced by Budenholzer.

A report on Wednesday indicated that Darvin Ham, an assistant on Budenholzer’s staff in Atlanta, will accompany him to Milwaukee. Budenholzer would like to bring more of his assistants with him to the Bucks, but nothing is official on that front yet, tweets Chris Vivlamore of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Budenholzer’s new job is good news for the Hawks, who will recover via setoff some of the $13MM they owed their former head coach over the next two years.

Five Key Offseason Questions: Phoenix Suns

May 17th, 2018 at 3:18pm CST by Luke Adams

For a third straight season, the Suns failed to reach the 25-win mark. Their 2017/18 record of 21-61 was the second-worst in franchise history and ranked dead last in the NBA, but all that losing paid off on May 15, when the club won the first overall pick in the 2018 draft lottery.

With a new head coach (Igor Kokoskov) on board and that No. 1 overall pick in hand, the Suns have some reason for optimism heading into the 2018 offseason.

Here are five key questions facing the franchise this summer:

1. What will the Suns do with the No. 1 pick?

With plenty of talent to be found at the top of this year’s draft class, there’s no shortage of good options for the Suns. The two best ones are probably Deandre Ayton, an ultra-talented big man who played his college ball at nearby University of Arizona, and Luka Doncic, a 19-year-old EuroLeague standout who has played for Kokoskov on the Slovenian national team.

Ayton appears to be the early frontrunner, but Suns GM Ryan McDonough has said the team will take its time to make a decision. It will be interesting to see if McDonough considers trading down. A year ago, Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball represented the consensus top two, allowing Danny Ainge to pick up a valuable extra asset by moving down to No. 3 and getting the player he wanted all along.

If the Suns aren’t in love with Ayton or Doncic and another team is, McDonough could make a similar move, though the bet here is that Phoenix won’t pass up on the chance to choose a potential franchise player at No. 1.

2. Will Devin Booker get a long-term extension this year?

Whoever the Suns draft with their top pick will have to mesh with Booker, the closest thing the Suns currently have to a franchise player. Speaking of Booker, he’ll find himself in an interesting contract situation as he enters his fourth NBA season.

Booker will become eligible for a contract extension for the first time on July 1, and he and the Suns will have until the start of the regular season to work out a new long-term deal. Phoenix has no cap limitations restricting the team’s ability to make a lucrative offer to Booker. Still, it’s not clear whether the Suns will rush into an extension for their top scorer or if they’ll prefer to wait until his restricted free agency in 2019.

Even if the Suns have no doubts about securing Booker for the long term, waiting until 2019 to finalize that deal could create more cap flexibility. His cap hold as an RFA in the summer of ’19 would be just under $10MM, while an extension would immediately hit the club’s 2019/20 cap at $25MM+.

3. How will the Suns use their cap space?

The Suns’ decision on Booker could ultimately come down to how the team uses its cap room this offseason. With about $18MM available – and the ability to create more space – Phoenix could go out and pursue a top free agent. The team has been in the mix for players like LaMarcus Aldridge, Blake Griffin, and Kyrie Irving in recent years, so the desire to add a star is there — maybe this is the time.

Clint Capela has been mentioned as a potential target for the Suns, though he’d make less sense if the club drafts Ayton. In order to create enough cap room to offer Capela – or another RFA – a max or near-max contract, Phoenix might need to buy out Tyson Chandler and/or Jared Dudley.

Still, while McDonough and the front office have been trying to land a star for years, they’ll want to avoid spending big money on the wrong player this summer. If they strike out on their top two or three targets, it could be more prudent to use that cap room to take on another team’s unwanted contract, picking up extra assets in the process. That could put the Suns in position to spend big in 2019, when Chandler and Dudley come off their books.

4. Is Kokoskov the right man for the head coaching job?

Kokoskov’s résumé is impressive, and he deserves a shot at a head coaching position. Still, it’s worth noting that he wasn’t Phoenix’s first choice.

It’s not clear how serious the Suns’ interest in Mike Budenholzer was, as Budenholzer withdrew his name from consideration before we knew if Phoenix would make him an offer. However, we do know the club made an offer to David Fizdale, who opted to join the Knicks instead.

Being a second or third choice doesn’t mean Kokoskov can’t become an excellent NBA head coach. However, there’s a lot of pressure on McDonough and the Suns to get this hire right. Kokoskov is the club’s seventh head coach since Mike D’Antoni left Phoenix in 2008, and the fourth coach Booker has played for since he was drafted. Everyone involved wants this relationship to turn into a long-term marriage.

5. Are Marquese Chriss and/or Dragan Bender keepers?

One of Kokoskov’s first challenges will be unlocking the potential of Chriss and Bender. Before they landed the first overall pick in this year’s draft, the Suns’ most important draft in recent history was 2016’s — it saw the team select Bender at No. 4, then trade a bevy of assets – including the rights to Bogdan Bogdanovic – to Sacramento in order to nab Chriss at No. 8. Those two young bigs looked like key pieces in the Suns’ rebuild at that point.

Two years later, both players have shown flashes of upside, but neither one has enjoyed a true breakout stretch as an NBA player. On the plus side, they’re both still just 20 years old, and if the Suns draft Ayton next month, there will be far less pressure on Chriss and Bender to become the team’s frontcourt duo of the future.

I don’t expect the Suns to turn down their 2019/20 rookie scale team options on either Chriss or Bender — as we saw this season with guys like Mario Hezonja and Kevon Looney, declining those options on young players can backfire. Still, 2018/19 could be a make-or-break year for Chriss and Bender when it comes to determining their long-term futures in Phoenix.

Here’s where things currently stand for the Suns financially:

Guaranteed Salary

Brandon Knight ($14,631,250)
Tyson Chandler ($13,585,000)
T.J. Warren ($11,750,000)
Jared Dudley ($9,530,000)
Josh Jackson ($6,041,520)
Dragan Bender ($4,661,280)
Devin Booker ($3,314,365)
Troy Daniels ($3,258,539)

Non-Guaranteed Salary

Alan Williams ($5,520,000)²
Tyler Ulis ($1,544,951)

Total: $9,132,314

Restricted Free Agents

Elfrid Payton ($4,749,591 qualifying offer / $9,997,020 cap hold)
Total: $9,997,020

Unrestricted Free Agents / Other Cap Holds

No. 1 overall pick ($8,095,595)
Alex Len ($7,956,438): Bird rights

Total: $18,641,543

Projected Salary Cap: $101,000,000

Projected Cap Room: $18,958,539

Our projection assumes that Phoenix retains its nine guaranteed contracts, plus Reed and its two first-rounders, totaling $82,041,516. In that scenario, the Suns would renounce Payton and Len, and waive their non-guaranteed players. The team could create more room via trades or cuts.

Footnotes:

Reed’s salary becomes fully guaranteed after June 30.
Williams can reportedly trigger a $1MM partial guarantee by meeting certain weight, body fat, and minute requirements. His salary becomes fully guaranteed after July 6.
Harrison’s salary will become guaranteed for $50K after August 1.

Note: Rookie scale cap holds are estimates based on salary cap projections and could increase or decrease depending on where the cap lands.

Poll: Rockets Or Cavaliers In Better Position?

May 17th, 2018 at 2:11pm CST by Luke Adams

The Cavaliers are coming off one of their most disappointing games of the season, as they surrendered a halftime lead on Tuesday night and dropped a second consecutive game in Boston, with the Celtics taking a 2-0 lead in the series.

The Rockets, on the other hand, looked like a legit title contender on Wednesday night in Houston, jumping on the Warriors early and outscoring them in every quarter en route to a 127-105 win to even up that series at 1-1.

Despite each team’s most recent game though, the Cavaliers are still viewed as a stronger bet to make the NBA Finals than the Rockets, as the odds at Bovada.lv show. A $100 wager on the Cavs to win their series would net $175 in winnings, while the same bet on the Rockets would earn you $250.

A strong respect for LeBron James – and for the Warriors – is reflected in those lines, but LeBron’s excellence isn’t the only reason why oddsmakers still view the Cavs as a stronger bet than the Rockets. The Eastern Conference Finals are headed back to Cleveland, where the Cavaliers have a 5-1 record so far in the postseason. The Celtics, meanwhile, are 1-4 on the road in playoff games this spring. If the Cavs can take care of business at home, the series would return to Boston for Game 5 tied at 2-2.

Home-court advantage is also a major factor in the Western Conference Finals. Having stolen Game 1 in Houston, the Warriors don’t need to win another road game to win the series. In fact, the Rockets will be under pressure to win one of the next two games in Oakland to avoid heading back home down 3-1.

Outside of the home-court factor, oddsmakers also figure to be heavily weighing recent history in their lines. The Warriors were one win away from taking home the last three NBA titles, and have looked virtually unstoppable in the postseason since Kevin Durant joined the roster in 2016. James, meanwhile, has been in the last seven NBA Finals, and it wasn’t long ago that he and the Cavs steamrolled the East’s top seed in a four-game sweep.

What do you think? Are the Rockets, with one win in hand, in a better position to advance than the Cavs, or are oddsmakers right to give the Cavs a stronger chance to make the Finals?

Three NBA Head Coaching Searches Still Active

May 17th, 2018 at 1:14pm CST by Luke Adams

Not a single NBA team made a head coaching change during the 2017 offseason, but the market has course-corrected so far in 2018. Already, five clubs – the Suns, Knicks, Hawks, Hornets, and Bucks – have reached agreements with new head coaches since the regular season ended, with a sixth club (the Grizzlies) elevating its interim head coach to the permanent role.

While those six teams have completed their coaching searches, there are more changes still to come, as three other clubs remain on the lookout for new head coaches. Here’s the latest on those searches:

Detroit Pistons

We haven’t heard much yet about the Pistons’ search for a new head coach, but that makes sense, since the club is also in the market for a new head of basketball operations — Stan Van Gundy held both roles.

Initial reports indicated that the Pistons would likely focus on finding someone for that front office role first, to ensure that person would have some say in the coaching search. That remains the team’s preference, according to Vince Ellis of The Detroit Free Press, who says the goal is to have a new head of basketball operations in place within the next couple weeks (Twitter links). ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski passed along a partial list of candidates on Wednesday.

While the front office hire could dictate which direction the Pistons go for a head coach, former Raptors head coach Dwane Casey and Raptors 905 coach Jerry Stackhouse have been cited as possible targets.

Orlando Magic

As promised, the Magic have certainly taken their time with their head coaching search. Orlando fired Frank Vogel on April 12, one day after the regular season ended, so the team has now been without a head coach for five weeks.

In addition to being patient, the Magic have also been quite secretive, declining to confirm whether or not they’re considering some rumored candidates. We know they’ve interviewed Trail Blazers assistant David Vanterpool and Spurs assistant Ime Udoka. David Fizdale also met with Orlando, but has since been hired by the Knicks.

Recently, reports have indicated that the Magic’s top candidate may be a surprise choice: University of Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson. Orlando president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman and GM John Hammond both worked in the Bucks’ front office back when Sampson served as an assistant coach in Milwaukee, so presumably they know him well.

While Sampson’s link to the Magic front office could pay off, it doesn’t appear that a link to Weltman – a former Raptors GM – will pay off for Toronto’s Nick Nurse or Jerry Stackhouse. They were initially believed to be candidates, but reportedly haven’t been interviewed for the job.

Toronto Raptors

The Raptors may have lost their top choice on Wednesday, when Mike Budenholzer – who met with Toronto on Monday – reached an agreement to coach the Bucks. With the former Hawks coach off the market, it’s not clear which direction the Raptors will go.

As Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca writes today, the other known candidates to replace Dwane Casey are all in-house coaches. Nick Nurse, Rex Kalamian, and Jerry Stackhouse have interviewed for the position, according to Grange, who suggests that Nurse may be the favorite of those three based on his excellent work with Toronto’s offense.

Still, it’s not a lock that the Raptors will pick one of their internal candidates. In fact, Grange says he’d be “very surprised” if team president Masai Ujiri doesn’t cast a wider net in the coming days — or even weeks.

While it’s possible that another team could join the Pistons, Magic, and Raptors in a search for a new head coach, the odds of that happening seem less and less likely.

Teams that have been eliminated from the postseason – or didn’t make it to begin with – probably wouldn’t drag their feet this long before making a change.

As for the four teams still alive, Tyronn Lue is the only one of those four head coaches whose seat may be heating up, but I don’t think he’s in any immediate danger of being fired by the Cavaliers.

Luka Doncic Says He’s Undecided On Moving To NBA For 2018/19

May 17th, 2018 at 12:15pm CST by Luke Adams

Speaking to reporters at the EuroLeague Final Four Press Conference today, Real Madrid star Luka Doncic was evasive when he was asked whether the upcoming tournament will represent the end of his EuroLeague career (link via Alex Madrid of Eurohoops.net).

“I’m not sure if these are the last two [EuroLeague] games,” Doncic said. “We have yet to make this decision. Perhaps after the season.”

Doncic has formally entered the 2018 NBA draft and certainly won’t withdraw his name from this year’s draft pool, since he appears to be a lock to be a top-three pick. However, prospects who are playing professionally in Europe at the time they’re drafted often remain overseas for one or more seasons before eventually joining their NBA team.

While Doncic seemed to leave the door open to that possibility, it’s hard to know how seriously to take his comments. As ESPN’s Jonathan Givony notes (via Twitter), today’s presser took place with Real Madrid set to vie for a title in the EuroLeague Final Four — given the timing, it probably wouldn’t have been in Doncic’s best interest to talk about leaving his current team.

On the other hand, as Givony observes (via Twitter), Doncic may also be aware that he holds some leverage in terms of his draft-day landing spot. If he doesn’t want to end up with a certain NBA team, Doncic could try to scare off that team by threatening to continue playing in Spain for another year or two. While that could just be a bluff, the NBA club in question would be forced to make a tough decision.

For now, it’s probably safe to assume that Doncic will arrive stateside later this year, but it’s worth noting that it may not be a lock.

Robert Covington Undergoes Finger Surgery

May 17th, 2018 at 11:18am CST by Luke Adams

Sixers forward Robert Covington has undergone successful surgery to repair the extensor tendon in his left middle finger, the team announced today in a press release. While the procedure was completed today, Covington has been dealing with the injury since December 28.

According to the Sixers, Covington will be able to use his left hand immediately, though he’ll wear a splint on the injured finger while he recovers. He’ll be re-evaluated in two or three weeks to assess whether he’s able to resume basketball activities. In other words, he should be back to 100% well before training camp gets underway in September.

Covington, 27, averaged 12.6 PPG and 5.4 RPG with a .413/.369/.853 shooting line in 80 games as Philadelphia’s starting small forward this season. However, he struggled in the postseason, slipping to 8.1 PPG on .325/.313/.750 shooting. He was particularly ineffective against the Celtics, making just 11 of 41 shots (26.8%) in the five-game series.

Having renegotiated his contract with the Sixers in the fall, Covington remains under contract with the franchise through the 2021/22 season. His salary will dip from $16.7MM this season to $10.46MM in 2018/19 before eventually rising back up to $12.98MM by the final year of his extension.
