First up, we talking about Nolan Smith's flirtation with an assistant coaching position at Memphis with Penny Hardaway, a move that would have technically been a promotion for Nolan, although he opted to stay in Durham.

We move, then, to the NBA, where Jayson Tatum and the Celtics are heading to Eastern Conference Finals to face Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat.
