With the NBC takeover looming next season, we've maybe seen the last of "Inside the NBA" on TNT.

Perfect mix of unselfishness but knows when to be an alpha scorer and put the offense on his back. Good shooter from three and at the FT line. Maybe the most important factor is durability...he has played 70+ games almost every season in his career (except barely missing it last year with 69)

ESPN Sources: After an Eastern Conference semifinal loss to Celtics with short-handed lineup, Cavaliers plan to take time to evaluate coach JB Bickerstaff’s future, but organization remains fond of him and marketplace is sparse of proven candidates. There will be a lot of conversations on different ways to proceed for a franchise that reached Eastern semis for first time since 2018.

They'll need to solve their weird roster as Garland and Mitchell don't fit together nor do Jarrett Allen and Mobley.  None of that is JB Bickerstaff's fault.  Everyone blames the coach these days though.  About that, I have some JKidd criticisms....

How does this series look? If the Mavericks close out and have to play one of these teams, I can pretty much tell you I don't want anything to do with Minnie. Denver has some serious issues with Jokic getting double-teamed while the rest of the team scrambles to make a play - usually with a brick or a turnover. Murray is a mess.

Minnesota is inconsistent, Rudy is one-dimensional, and Towns is a big question mark, but that team is good enough to overcome all of those things and beat any team currently still playing.
