   Wild, I assumed he was playing pro in abroad. He was on the red claws just a couple years ago, wasn’t he? Or was it summer league?

   I actually have a very distant connect to this guy. My sisters best friends friend is his fiancé. Apparently Tatum extremely close to him and is a part of the wedding ceremony this summer.

   I assume Tatum had some say in this.

   I had a dream last night where I ran into Perk on the street and asked him if he was still in touch with Al Jefferson

   Do we have the record for youngest coaching staff ever? Mazzulla is 34, Pressey is 32, Jefferson is 30 etc

   Every superstar got one their guys as a assistant coach so it’s cool

   SO they’ve gone from hiring babysitters for Mazzulla to hiring Dookies for Tatum…

   So the first or second round elimination next season will be whose fault?

    I like that he’s 6’8″. The coaching bench was a little guard heavy with Sullivan going to Houston

    We’ve already hired all of Brad’s friends so we’re moving on to hiring Tatum’s friends.

    Just getting young player coaches as developmental guys that are good for the locker room. So even if Aaron Miles leaves at this point we’ve still got 6 assistants which is plenty.
