Former Cats in the NBA

Luke is out as Lakers coach. I’m guessing that means Miles is too.

Luke got fired...total bullshit

JB was always one of my favorite players.

And per ESPN, Luke has agreed to coach the Kings.

Awesome for Blair

And did Luke even have time to finish his sandwich before he got hired by Sacramento? That was quick.

Congrats to Luke. Hopefully this is the right situation for him. Amazing the number of players from Lute’s years are coaching and doing it at a higher level

Luke getting sued for sexual assault by his ex business partner from May 2017

Newportcat · Post by **Newportcat** » Mon Apr 22, 2019 8:40 pm

Not good and looks like it happened in 2014 or while he was still with warriors

What she alleges is just awful.

Newportcat · Post by **Newportcat** » Tue Apr 23, 2019 6:39 am

Luke’s attorney just came out against allegations

Luke Walton’s attorney Mark Baute’s statement regarding Kelli Tennant’s lawsuit:
“Luke Walton retained me to defend him against these baseless allegations. The accuser is an opportunist, not a victim, and her claim is not credible. We intend to prove this in a courtroom”

Newportcat · Post by **Newportcat** » Tue Apr 23, 2019 11:02 am

Mark Baute defended Derrick Rose FYI against his Rape Allegations.

Yep. I mean, we don't know these guys personally, but Luke is someone who's always come off as a good guy. I've never once heard him described as creepy or aggressive, dating back to his AZ days. Just a weird, disturbing story.

Question: “Do you have an understanding as to the word consent?”

Rose: “No but can you tell me?”

Question: “I just wanted to know if you had any understanding.”

Rose: “No.”

Walton should make sure he's heavier into his deposition preparation than Rose was.

I have no idea whether it is true or false, but in every one of these situations, the allegation should be treated with the utmost seriousness.

True, no woman should be subjected to anything close than that. Untrue, that allegation is devastating and shouldn't be linked to someone who didn't do it. In the grayer middle, you just don't know.

As big an Arizona fan as I am, there are things that go deeper, and treating women with respect as a man is one. If Walton did that, I could care less where he school.

I hope the truth emerges.

Iggy hit 5 threes and scored 17 points to pull the Warriors into the conference finals.

What an amazing career he has had.

That's a question I've been seeing bandied about lately. In my mind, outside of his longevity, I don't know that he's got the numbers to back up a HOF career.

Then again, we're not talking about the MLB Hall here. So maybe he can sneak in...

How 'bout if the Phoenix Suns trade Josh Jackson to Philadelphia for TJ McConnell, a future first, and filler? And then sign Rondae Hollis-Jefferson as an unrestricted free agent?

Okay, then how 'bout if the Suns sign every former Wildcat free agent? If they're going to suck anyway, they might as well give us a reason to buy tickets.

The Lakers need cheap FA's to fill a bench. TJ and Rondae would be nice fits there, IMO.

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Mon Jun 17, 2019 5:50 pm

Lebron already tried to trade for TJ once (twice?).

ASUCatFan · Post by **ASUCatFan** » Mon Jun 17, 2019 8:11 pm

Lakers need scorers. I'm not sure they really need a pure point guard with LeBron on the roster.

They’re going to have like four players signed after this deal goes through. Plenty of room for a back up point guard.

LeBron and AD are both good for 20+ a night, and Kuzma is close. The need a few shooters who can defend (Collison, Danny Green, ideally Brogdon).

A guy like TJ or RHJ is in that next tier, trying to fill out the roster with value adds.

That gives NO about 74 picks in the draft.

I was positive the Bulls were going to end up with that pick.

Which CBB programs have produced the most players for every NBA team

AZ makes the list for 10 teams. #1 for Orlando with 10 players. Can you name them all?

Arenas played there late career. Steve Kerr. I think Channing was there briefly...that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Did Rooks stop there?

Edit: I looked it up, Rooks was there for 20 games.

Arizona players at Orlando:

Gilbert Arenas
Jud Buechler
Anthony Cook
Bison Dele
Channing Frye
Aaron Gordon
Nick Johnson (signed contract - did not play)
Steve Kerr
Sean Rooks
Miles Simon
Tom Tolbert

Cube's BIG3 League: https://www.azdesertswarm.com/basketbal ... v-schedule" target="_blank

Jason Terry, Mike Bibby, and Gilbert Arenas are three names that comes with a hint of nostalgia with a dash of idolization.

Relics of days of Final Fours and national championships. Something that has been missing in Tucson for 18 years.

Luckily for Arizona Wildcats fans, they will be able to (slightly) relive the glory days as the Wildcat trio will not only be playing in the Big3 tournament, they will be captaining their respective teams as Ice Cube’s 3-on-3 league of former NBA stars gets underway this summer.

My man Deandre just got disrespected and he should use that to motivate himself to shit all over the League next year.
