He brings a lot of energy,” Thibodeau said.

October 22, 2019 | 2:13 am EDT Update
Andrew Lopez: Pelicans opting to get a better look at Ingram when healthy before making a deal. Asked Ingram about this yesterday and he smiled and said: “Me and Griff talk. Me and my agent talk. We have good conversations.”
Peter Edmiston: Talked with some folks familiar with the Grizzlies thinking re: Josh Jackson. The team won’t be picking up his fourth year contract option, but that certainly doesn’t preclude them re-signing him after the season is over, should everything go well. They’ll have space.
While the popular belief in the NBA these days is that Andre Iguodala could fill it if he clears waivers with the Memphis Grizzlies, the Lakers may have their eyes set on someone else too: J.R. Smith. “I think the Lakers are giving him a serious look,” Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes told me on the Scoop B Radio Podcast. Why?? “Because I think they want to go into the season with the roster they have. Check the first 10, 15 games, see how things are going, check the list of numbers and percentages and see what they lack before they decide what they’re gonna do.”
Eric Moreland China bound
Eric Moreland agreed to terms with Shanxi in China. Moreland will replace Malcolm Thomas.
If LaVine was worthy of that deal, someone who has been trying to rebuild the Kings was worthy of a lucrative deal, too. Hield wanted his loyalty rewarded and to know the Kings saw him as a key part of their future. A source with knowledge of Hield’s thinking said there were other cursory factors as well. For one, the unexpected China factor — how much money will they lose in the wake of Daryl Morey’s tweet supporting the protestors in Hong Kong? — is looming large for everyone in the NBA at the moment.
Year 1 reachable incentives: Play at least 70 games AND shoot 85 percent from the free-throw line ($500,000); average fewer than two turnovers per game ($500,000); lead the league in made 3-pointers ($500,000); post a defensive rating below 110.5 ($500,000).
Year 1 harder-to-reach incentives: Be named an All-Star ($500,000); help the Kings make the playoffs ($500,000); help the Kings make it to the second round of the playoffs (additional $250,000); help the Kings make it to the Western Conference Finals (additional $500,000); help the Kings make the NBA Finals (additional $1 million).
