Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Despite his flaws Luka lead this team to the WCF twice and once to the Finals. AD was THE guy before. It didn’t get New Orleans far. He was great in LA and is st...

They talk about work ethic and don’t even bring up Dirk’s name. That doesn’t happen by accident.  Dirk hasn’t said anything publicly so far. I’m sure he’s reached out behind the scenes and told the...
