Press Conference Monday in the NBA just got even newsier: Utah will hold a session tomorrow with new owner Ryan Smith, new CEO Danny Ainge and outgoing coach Quin Snyder … adding to previously scheduled press conferences for Miami’s Pat Riley and new Lakers coach Darvin Ham. – 9:52 PM
Zach Kram @zachkram
Draymond Green’s technical foul count—4 in 18 games this postseason, which seems like a lot!—only puts in perspective the majesty of Rasheed Wallace’s pace when he got 41 in a single season. Most unbreakable record in the NBA. – 8:30 PM

quin snyder making this decision after darvin ham and, seemingly, kenny atkinson are off the board is low-key diabolical – 5:38 PM

Now that Darvin Ham is officially the Lakers’ new head coach, one of his first tasks is figuring out how to get more out of Russell Westbrook (if the Lakers keep him).
Here are three things he could try that might improve the Westbrook fit: theathletic.com/3346849/2022/0…5:34 PM

If the Jazz and Quin Snyder aren’t going to come to a deal, they should do it soon. The longer they wait, the more the highly sought candidates will be gone. Darvin Ham already off the board, sounds like Kenny Atkinson is next. – 2:27 PM
