Eric Yearian over at NBADraft.net provides some insightful writing detailing what teams in the NW Division need from the upcoming draft.

Marc Berman of the NY Post is proposing trade ideas for the fourth overall pick, and his guesses on trades includes an interesting one for the Knicks and Nuggets.

From Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports: "Former Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scott Brooks plans to pass on interview chances with the Denver Nuggets and New Orleans Pelicans and appears inclined to sit out the 2015-16 season, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Brooks, 49, wants to coach again but plans to take the year to look at television opportunities and reconnect with his family living in California, sources said."

Brandon Krisztal talks to Chauncey Billups about a variety of topics on his "Peel the Onion" podcast. A must listen and very cool to hear Billups' thoughts on helping kids realize their hoop dreams, Billups' career, the current state of the Nuggets and much more.

I can't tell the difference.

Christopher Dempsey of the Denver Post has an update on the Nuggets' coaching search - no real surprises in the piece.

An excellent article in the San Antonio Express News from Buck Harvey on Tim Duncan's next moves and how he may try to bring LaMarcus Aldridge in from Portland to help with another Spurs title run.

A cool look at Danilo Gallinari from five months ago with Vice Sports. Did you know Gallo is part-owner of a restaurant in New York named Pagani? An Italian spot, who'd a thunk it?!

I can't feel my... hand? Not after throwing down that hot lava lob.

This has been one of the Nuggets' pet plays since Melvin Hunt took over. Probably ran it 10-15 times against the Hawks. Very difficult to guard and can almost always get the PF an open jumper.
