2 Basic DIMA Concepts The Database for Inventory, Monitoring and Assessment (DIMA) is a highly-customized Microsoft Access database for collecting data electronically in the field and for organizing, storing, and reporting those data for monitoring and assessment. While DIMA can be used for any number of different monitoring data collection needs, it is particularly well suited to collecting data for the BLM s Assessment, Inventory and Monitoring (AIM) Strategy following the BLM Core Indicators and Methods. It is much easier to use DIMA if you have a basic understanding of what data are being stored in it and how they are organized. Sites, Plots, and Lines There are three basic objects within DIMA: sites, plots, and lines (i.e., transects). A Site is a large geographic unit that defines a management area of interest, and you must create at least one site before you can
3 enter data. Sites can be whatever makes sense for management or monitoring. For example, if monitoring for grazing permits, an allotment might be a logical choice for a site. If the interest is in evaluating effectiveness of a restoration project, then the project area might be a site. In DIMA, sites have only a minimal set of information associated with them and do not have any explicit geographic information they are just used as a way to organize the data. If you have data that could belong to more than one site (e.g., a restoration area within an allotment), you can use tags to track them (see Tags below). A Plot is an area within a site where measurements are made. There are usually several or many plots per site. Plots contain specific information such as directions for how to get there, ecological site, a species list, and precise geographic coordinates. Certain methods such as species richness and soil sampling pertain to the plot itself. A Line or Transect is a sub-measurement of a plot, and there can be multiple transects per plot. For many indicators (e.g., vegetation cover or composition), it is not possible to reliably measure or estimate the indicator for the entire plot at once. In this case it is common to sample smaller areas within a plot and use those measurements to estimate the indicator s value for the entire plot. One way of sub-sampling the plot is with measurements along transects or sub-plots along transects.
4 Methods A method is a specific technique used to estimate the value of an indicator. For the AIM strategy, the methods are: Line-point intercept with vegetation height, plot-level species inventory, canopy gap intercept, and soil stability(contingent). Of these methods, line-point intercept with height and canopy-gap intercept are performed along transects. The other methods are performed at the plot level. Geographic Information In DIMA, precise geographic coordinates can be recorded for plot centers and for the start and stop locations of transects. When collecting data following the AIM protocol, it is sufficient to record only the plot center location. DIMA can be set up to interface directly with a GPS unit for automated capture of coordinate values. Alternatively, the coordinate values can be typed in. While DIMA will allow you to record locations using any coordinate system, it is highly recommended that you 1) use the same coordinate system for all your locations, and 2) use the geographic (decimal degrees) coordinate system with the WGS84 datum. This will ensure that locations are consistently recorded and make it easier to merge datasets from different areas. Species Lists Part of what makes DIMA fast and easy to use in the field for collecting data is the use of lists of expected species for plots and
5 transects. You can use DIMA without setting up a species list for a plot or transect, but it can be cumbersome and slow. As part of your initial DIMA setup, you should take some time and create some species lists for different plant communities in which you ll be working. Plant inventories or existing field data are a good place to look for species to include in the lists. When you create a plot, you can then copy one of your community species lists or copy the species list from another plot. Don t worry about having an exhaustive species list for your plot before you start you can always add plants while you re recording data without too much of an interruption. The more plots you visit, the better your species lists will get and the faster DIMA will be to use in the field. Tags A Tag is a label assigned to a plot for your own sorting or querying purposes. Sometimes you need to organize your plots by more than just the one site that they belong to. For example, you have plots within an allotment that are inside a burn and plots outside the burn. This allotment is part of a field office and the data could be useful for field-office level planning too. DIMA only lets you define one site per plot. To associate your plots with all the different levels or uses you want, you would assign tags to the plots. Any plot can have an unlimited number of tags.
6 Tips for Successfully using DIMA Close vs. Cancel buttons On many of the DIMA forms, you will notice buttons that say Close or Cancel but rarely buttons that say OK or Apply. This can be confusing to some users. Close will save the data on the current form and close it, returning you to the previous form. Cancel will close the current form without saving any data on the form Running DIMA with different versions of Access DIMA was developed for Access It will run without problem on Access 2007, but there are some compatibility issues with Access We are currently working through these problems and releasing incremental updates to DIMA as problems are fixed. For all of the Access 2010 problems, however, Access may crash if certain buttons are clicked, but this DOES NOT CAUSE DATA LOSS OR CORRUPTION. Using a GPS with DIMA and Windows 7 The GPSTools.dll file that creates a connection between DIMA and an attached GPS unit was written for Windows XP. In order to use the GPS tools with DIMA on a computer with a Windows 7 operating system, you will need to run Access in XP Compatibility mode. For more information, see

8 The DIMA Home Page Functions and options for DIMA Initial Setup. Functions for creating and editing sites and plots. Tree-view of Sites, Plots and transects (lines) in the DIMA database Functions for entering and editing data for plots and transects (lines) Toggle touchscreen functions on or off.
9 Initial DIMA Setup The steps below should be followed to set up a new DIMA database for use. An internet connection is needed for some of these steps, so they are best done while in the office before going out to the field. Hide methods not used in AIM strategy DIMA contains data forms for 18 different monitoring and assessment methods. In most cases, though, you will only be using a small number of these methods. Hiding the unneeded data forms can not only simplify the DIMA interface, but can reduce confusion for field crews. To hide unneeded DIMA forms: 1. Click on the Administrative Functions button from the DIMA Home Page. 2. Choose Database Content from the System Setup drop-down list, and click the Modify the Forms/Functions available in this copy button. 3. Enter the database administrator password (usually 9999 unless another password was set) and login. 4. Uncheck methods that will not be used, and then click Close. Click Close on the Administrative Functions page to return to the DIMA Home Page.
11 Import state plant species list from USDA PLANTS database In order to quickly create species lists and to maintain consistency and accuracy of plant codes, DIMA uses the list of plants and codes for each state maintained by the USDA PLANTS database ( Because these lists are large (thousands of plant species for each state) and updated regularly, DIMA does not come pre-loaded with a master plant species list. You will need to download the species list for your state and load it into DIMA. 1. Click the Support Tables button from the DIMA Home Page 2. Click on the State Species List button in the center column of the Support Tables page.
12 3. Click on the Mass Import of Species Data button at the bottom of the State Species List page. 4. Open a web browser and go to the USDA PLANTS database state plant list page. Either click on the this site link or enter in the URL shown in the Mass Import of Species Data page. 5. Right-click in your web browser on the state you want a species list for and choose Save target as (Internet Explorer) or
13 Save link as (Firefox, Chrome) to save the state species list to your computer. Note the directory where the file was saved. 6. Back in DIMA, click the Browse button in the Mass Import of Species Data page and select the state species list file you just downloaded. Click Open. 7. Click the Validate Plant list and import into this database button. 8. Click Close on all the pages to return to the DIMA Home Page.
15 Import county names DIMA comes with a set of Excel files that contain the county names for each state, but these must be loaded into DIMA before going out into the field. 1. Click on the Support Tables button on the DIMA Home Page 2. Click on the States/Counties button on the Support Tables page 3. Click on the Import Counties button on the States/Counties page
16 4. Click the Browse button. Navigate to the directory where DIMA is located and open the Counties folder. Select the Excel file for the state you want and click Open. 5. Click the Do Import button to import the counties 6. Click YES if you are ready to import.
17 7. Click Close on all the pages to return to the DIMA Home Page.
18 Import ecological site names Similar to plant species names, there are just too many ecological sites to include them all in DIMA. You will need to identify which Major Land Resource Areas (MLRAs) you will be working in and download and load the appropriate ecological site names. This is important because interpretation of much of the monitoring and assessment data collected in DIMA is dependent on knowing what the ecological site is for each plot visited. 1. Click on Support Tables from the DIMA Home Page 2. Click on Ecological Sites from the Support Tables page
19 3. Click on the Import Site Numbers/Names from NRCS button at the bottom of the Ecological Sites page Open a web browser and navigate to the NRCS ESIS website for downloading the ecological site names. Either click on the this site link or enter in the URL shown in the Mass Import of Species Data page. 6. On the ESIS webpage, Check Ecological Site Number and Name as the download type, and then click Submit
20 7. On the next ESIS page, check Rangeland, select the MLRA s you need ecological sites for, and then click SUBMIT
21 8. Scroll to the bottom of the ecological sites list page and click Select All. Then click Download File. 9. Right-click on the GSAT Download link on the next page and save the file to your computer. Note where the file is saved. 10. Back in DIMA, click the Browse button and navigate to where the ecological site name file was saved. Select the file and click Open. 11. Click the Validate Site list and import into this database button. 12. Click Close on all the forms to return to the DIMA Home Page.
23 Add names to the people list DIMA records the names of people who have participated in data collection, review, and editing. When using DIMA in the field, the data entry forms will be locked until the people who are observing and recording the data are specified. The names and contact information of people using DIMA should be entered before going out in the field. 1. Click Support Tables from the DIMA Home Page 2. Click the People button from the Support Tables page 3. Click New to add a person to the database.
24 4. Fill in information about the person who will be using DIMA and their roles. At a minimum, a name must be provided. Click Close when finished to save the information and return to the People Listing page. 5. To edit or delete an existing person listing, click on the square button to the left of the person s name. 6. Click Close on this page and the Support Tables page to return to the DIMA Home Page.
25 Creating Species Lists List of species found at particular sites or for plant communities are a central part of the DIMA database. As you collect more and more data for plots in a site, the species lists for that site will become more complete and you can just copy lists between similar plots (this saves a lot of time). Initially, though, it pays to spend some time setting up a good species list to use for a plot. This section covers creating a community species list, but the technique is the same if you are creating a plot species list from scratch within the Plot Description page. 1. Click on Support Tables from the DIMA Home Page 2. Click on the Community Species Lists button. 3. Click on the New List button to create a new species list. In the Plant Community Species List page, give the list a name. You
26 are now ready to start adding species to the list. 4. Enter the plant species code in the Add Code(s) text box. You can enter multiple plant codes at once by separating them with semicolons (DO NOT INCLUDE SPACES BETWEEN THE CODES). Click Add to add the plant species to the species list. Note that you must use the official plant codes recognized in the USDA PLANTS Database. 5. If you do not know the plant species codes or need to search for plant species, click the search species/add multiple button. This will open a window where you can search by plant code,
27 scientific name, or common name. 6. Type the first letters of a name or plant code in the Beginning with: text box and click Go. This will return a list of matching plants. 7. Find the species you re looking for and click the square button to the left of its name to add it to the Selected codes: list at the top. 8. Search for additional plants and click on their square buttons to add them to the selected codes list.
28 9. When you are finished adding codes, click OK to add these species to your species list. 10. From the Plant Community Species List, you can do additional operations like copying a list from an existing plot, sorting the species in the list to put common species at the top, or delete species from the list. 11. Click Close when you are finished to save the list and return to the Support Tables page.
29 Setting up a GPS Unit One powerful feature of DIMA is that it can interface directly with a GPS unit that is either built-into a computer (i.e, tablet PC) or linked to the computer via a cable or wireless (e.g., Bluetooth) connection. The link between DIMA and a GPS unit is done by way of a thirdparty piece of software. This software does not require Windows installation, but it does need to be registered to work with Access. The following steps will register the interface software and set up the GPS unit in DIMA. 1. Click Administrative Functions from the DIMA Home Page. 2. Select GPS Device Management from the System Setup dropdown box and click the Manage your GPS device button. 3. Select GPS is attached to this computer from the Mode dropdown box and then click the Setup GPS tab.
30 4. Click the Browse button on this page and navigate to the Directory where DIMA is stored. In that location you should find a directory called GPS Tools. Select this directory and click Open. 5. Click back on the Test GPS tab. 6. Click the Test GPS button. This will register the GPS Tools software component with Access and display the following
31 message. Click OK. 7. Click the Read GPS button to link to the GPS and acquire a coordinate reading. When you are finished, click Accept. With the GPS unit activated in DIMA, data forms that have fields for geographic information (i.e., plots and lines/transects) will now display a GPS button that allows you to acquire coordinate values directly from the GPS unit. Clicking on the GPS button will open the Get GPS Info page. Click on Read GPS to get the current coordinate information, and click Accept to transfer the coordinate values back to the data form.
33 Creating a Site In order to collect data on a plot or transect in DIMA, a site must first be created. This is a simple process that can either be done in the office or in the field. A plot can only be associated with a single site. Tags can be used in addition to the site if you need to categorize a plot multiple ways. All the existing sites in a DIMA database are listed in the Quick Data View window of the DIMA Home Page. 1. Click the New Site button from the DIMA Home Page. 2. Provide at least a Site ID and a Site Name. 3. Click Close when you are finished to save and close the form and return to the DIMA Home Page.
34 Creating Plots within a Site Once sites have been created, you can then create plots and begin recording data in the field. The New Plot button on the DIMA Home Page will only become active when you have selected a site in the Data Quick View window. 1. Click the New Plot button in the DIMA Home Page 2. Specify the number of transects that will be associated with this plot (typically 3 or 4) and click OK. This will automatically create transects and associate them with the plot you are creating. 3. Give the plot an ID number in the Plot Description Page and fill in any other attributes in the General fields (e.g., county, state, ecological site). It is important to verify in the field and select the Ecological Site for the plot. Provide text directions to the
35 plot also. 4. Click on the GPS/Lines button and record the GPS coordinates for the center of the plot. Make sure to record the coordinate system and datum as well. If you transcribe the coordinates, double check them for error.
36 5. a. Click on the Species Lists button to create a species list to use for data collection at this site. You can either create a new list by selecting species from the state species list or copy an existing list from another plot or one of the DIMA community species lists you created previously. See the section above on creating species lists for more
37 information. b. Click Close to save the plot information and return to the DIMA Home Page. Up Next 1. Entering Field Data 2. Importing Data from another Database 3. Merging Databases 4. Trouble Shooting DIMA 5. Load Excel spreadsheets to DIMA 6. AIM Data Reporting 7.

In this chapter, we describe the use of individual nitrogen–vacancy (NV) centers in diamond as nanoscale sensors for magnetic-field detection and imaging. We start by reviewing the original proposals and first proof-of-concept experiments for NV magnetometry and then discuss recent applications of this emerging technology. Special emphasis will be placed on recently achieved imaging of nanomagnetic structures and single electron spins.

NBA Daily: First Quarter Grades: Northwest Division
David Yapkowitz continues Basketball Insiders' "First Quarter Grades" series with a look at the Northwest Division.
We continue our latest series, "First Quarter Grades," at Basketball Insiders with the Northwest Division.
The Northwest Division has shaped up to be one of the stronger divisions in the Western Conference. The Portland Trail Blazers, Denver Nuggets, and Oklahoma City Thunder have all gotten off to good starts. The Minnesota Timberwolves have seemingly turned things around following the Jimmy Butler deal and now find themselves only a half game out of the playoff picture. Only the Utah Jazz have been a true disappointment.
With that said, here's a breakdown of each team's grades as we hit the first quarter mark of the 2018-19 NBA season.
Denver Nuggets – A
If the season were to end today, the Denver Nuggets would have surpassed all expectations. This was a team that barely missed the playoffs last season. They've not only turned that around and entrenched themselves firmly in the playoff race, but they've also been a consistent top-four team in the West.
Their defense is largely improved from last year. They had been a middle of the pack defensive team, but this season they are one of the best defensive teams in the league. They've also been getting key contributions off the bench from guys like Monte Morris, Torrey Craig, and Malik Beasley, guys who weren't rotation regulars last season. And they've yet to incorporate Isaiah Thomas and prized rookie Michael Porter Jr. into the lineup.
Nikola Jokic and Garry Harris are looking like true stars, and after a brief rough patch recently, the Nuggets have picked it back up and are only a half-game back of the top spot in the conference. It's been a strong start for the Nuggets indeed.
Minnesota Timberwolves – C
The Jimmy Butler saga put a damper on the Timberwolves to begin the season, and had their poor start continued, their first quarter grade would likely be lower. This was a group that had aspirations of moving up in the West when Tom Thibodeau took over.
However, their new additions of Robert Covington and Dario Saric have transitioned seamlessly into the rotation. Derrick Rose is experiencing a career resurgence. Karl-Anthony Towns is Karl-Anthony Towns. Questions remain about Andrew Wiggins, and it's likely that if he was playing at a higher level, this team would be doing much better and their first-quarter grade would be higher.
But as it stands, they've seemingly righted the ship and have themselves right back in the mix of things. Although they sit at 10-11, they're right there in terms of the playoff picture. It's a testament to how tough the West has been this year.
Oklahoma City Thunder – B
The Thunder got off to a rough start this season. At one point, they were the only winless team in the NBA. They've also managed to turn their season around and they find themselves emerging as one of the better teams in the Western Conference.
Oklahoma City is one of the best defensive teams in the league. It's a welcoming sign considering their defense suffered mightily last season when Andre Roberson was injured. He suffered a setback and has yet to make his season debut, but the defense has remained strong in his absence. Dennis Schroder has fit in well with the team, and he's given the team a guard dynamic they haven't had since Reggie Jackson was in OKC.
Three-point shooting, however, remains a sore spot for the Thunder. Jerami Grant has emerged as one of their top outside threats, but they're still going to need a little bit more if they want to be competitive in the postseason. A more consistent Patrick Patterson would help, but perhaps swinging a trade for another shooter at the deadline would help.
Portland Trail Blazers – A
The Trail Blazers have been right up there with the Nuggets as one of the best teams not only in the division but in the conference overall. They've lost three games in a row recently, and have slipped a bit in the standings, but it's a testament to how much parity there is in the conference that they still aren't too far off from the top spot.
They lost key bench contributors from last season in Ed Davis and Shabazz Napier. But they've managed to replace them with other players. Seth Curry has bounced back nicely from his injury and has provided Portland with another ball-handler and shooter off the bench. Nik Stauskas has been a revelation. And Zach Collins is looking like his billing as a lottery pick.
There may have been some questions in the past about the roster that Neil Oshey has constructed, but the past two seasons, the Blazers have been exceeding expectations. They finished last season with a top-four seed in the West and they're on pace to do the same this season.
Utah Jazz – F
It's been pretty solid grades so far for the Northwest Division, but the Utah Jazz are the notable exception. Prior to the beginning of the season, the Jazz were thought by many to be the best team in the division. They were coming off a season that saw them win a playoff series against the Thunder in impressive fashion while Donovan Mitchell became an emerging star. They've taken a major step back, however.
Outside shooting has been one of the primary issues of concern for the Jazz since the beginning of the season. They have one consistent perimeter shooting threat in Joe Ingles. That is going to need to change if they want to turn things around. Defense was another area of concern, and they've somewhat turned that around, but it still isn't where it should be. Playmaking has been another issue, and that may be contributing to their lack of success from the three-point line.
The Jazz have the coaching and talent to get back on the right track, but the West has been tough this season. While it's still early, there have been a good number of teams that have surprised out West. The postseason picture is going to be a dogfight. Time could run out quickly on the Jazz.
As we've seen in the past, things can change quickly in the NBA. These teams could slip or fall as the season goes on. Injuries could always change things. But as it stands, these are the early first quarter grades these teams deserve. As the season progresses and the playoff picture becomes much clearer, it will be interesting to see where these teams fall.

NBA Daily: Buyers Or Sellers – Central Division
Spencer Davies kicks off Basketball Insiders' "Buyers or Sellers" series with a detailed breakdown of the Central Division.
Trade season is fast approaching and rumors are running rampant across in the NBA. Just in the past month, we've had three trades executed, including two blockbuster moves that will surely make an impact on the association, regarding this year and in the future.
The chatter is about to heat up, even more, this weekend. As soon as the clock strikes 12:01 a.m. EST on Dec. 15, players that signed new contracts in the summer (prior to Sept. 15) are eligible to be traded. The date is basically the opening of the floodgates when it comes to trade season.
Basketball Insiders is starting a "Buyers or Sellers" series to take a look at teams by division to determine what side of the spectrum they should be on. Is it wise to add talent, or is it smarter to look towards the future and acquire future assets?
Let's go case-by-case, beginning with the Central Division.
Milwaukee Bucks
As detailed in a reaction piece last Friday, the Bucks are all-in on winning now. When they went after veteran guard George Hill in a trade where parting with a potential future lottery draft pick was necessary to do it, it proved that claim.
Looking to offload two contracts that weren't doing the organization any good, Milwaukee acted and added two guys—Hill and Jason Smith—that have been around this league for over a decade. With the way the season is going so far, it may not even be necessary to look for more help, but there's no doubt that the team is in buyer mode.
There's time to talk about Khris Middleton's expiring contract later. Right now, it's all clicking with the Bucks.
Players whose trade restrictions are lifted on Dec. 15: Pat Connaughton, Ersan Ilyasova, Brook Lopez
Indiana Pacers
Similar to their in-division rivals, the Pacers are absolutely in contention for the Central and the Eastern Conference. Despite the injury bug rearing its ugly head, their record stands at 16-10, which is only four games back from the top-seeded Toronto Raptors.
There's no shortage of talent on this Indiana squad. There's Victor Oladipo, who, when healthy, is an All-Star playmaker. Bojan Bogdanovic has been an underrated player for the majority of his career. They've got a dual Sixth Man of The Year-Most Improved Player candidate in Domantas Sabonis. The team's defense is as physical and gritty as NBA defenses can be.
In no way, shape or form are the Pacers a "seller" by any means, but they could explore trading Darren Collison. Doing so would allow Tyreke Evans to play more minutes with the second unit, as well as open up some more floor time for Aaron Holiday, the team's rookie point guard that showed his capabilities in extended run in mid-November.
A lot has been made of the dynamic between Myles Turner and Sabonis and what that future looks like, however, it's not something to worry about at the moment considering both look extremely comfortable in their roles.
Players whose trade restrictions are lifted on Dec. 15: Tyreke Evans, Doug McDermott, Kyle O'Quinn
Detroit Pistons
We approach the middling team of the bunch in the Central. While Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin are enjoying career seasons and Dwane Casey is doing a fine job in year one as head coach, the Pistons just can't seem to get it going on the offensive end as a team.
Detroit's perimeter defense, and defense, in general, has been solid to this point. Its own three-point shooting has been quite the opposite. We've highlighted this before multiple times. It needs to change if this group wants to have a chance to make noise in the division and in the East.
According to a report from the New York Post, the Pistons have shown interest in Knicks guard Damyean Dotson. In his sophomore season, the 24-year-old is taking over four threes per game and knocking down 38.5 percent of them. To put this in perspective, Dotson would already be Detroit's best three-point shooter the day he walked into the building.
Detroit Free Press writer Vince Ellis confirmed that Dotson is a real option for the Pistons because of his current cheap contract and the fact that his $1.6 million salary for 2019-20 is non-guaranteed until July 15. The only snags in making this happen are Detroit's reluctance to make a deal to go over the luxury tax and the Knicks trying to avoid added salary.
If Dotson isn't the player the Pistons go after, they should look elsewhere for help beyond the arc because they need it. Otherwise, the season could get away really fast.
Players whose trade restrictions are lifted on Dec. 15: Jose Calderon, Zaza Pachulia, Glenn Robinson III
Cleveland Cavaliers
Unless you've been living under a rock, it's pretty obvious that the Cavaliers are in asset accumulation mode. They just made a trade to absorb two rather heavy contracts in John Henson and Matthew Dellavedova in order to add draft picks.
Henson has a torn ligament in his left wrist and Dellavedova—though highly appreciated in Cleveland for his NBA Finals heroics—has seemingly been injured for the majority of the last two seasons with no real rotation spot since the 2016-17 campaign.
Just one week beforehand, the Cavaliers traded Kyle Korver to the Utah Jazz for Alec Burks and future second-round draft picks. The biggest question mark coming into the season was what would happen with these veteran players leftover from the championship years, and we're getting the answer to it right now.
Cleveland likely won't be done there, either. J.R. Smith is away from the organization as both parties agreed to part ways until a deal is found. That could be this year, or it could be in the summertime when Smith's contract is a desirable asset, as only $3.7 million of his 2019-20 salary is guaranteed until June 30. Everything depends on the offers the team receives.
What to do with Kevin Love is another good question considering the All-Star forward's injury history and age, but the value in return likely wouldn't be up to par with what the Cavaliers' front office would find plausible. Plus, with the emergence of Collin Sexton, the wine and gold would like to see what that pairing looks like together after a year of experience for the rookie.
If you're a franchise with an undesirable contract on the books, it'd be wise to call Cleveland right away. Just be prepared to give up some draft picks and/or young talent in return.
Players whose trade restrictions are lifted on Dec. 15: Channing Frye, David Nwaba, Rodney Hood (can veto trade due to re-signing qualifying offer)
Players whose trade restrictions are lifted on Jan. 24: Kevin Love
Chicago Bulls
With the reported friction between Bulls players and interim head coach Jim Boylen, trades are not the talk of the town in the Windy City at the moment. Things have gone south in a hurry as the team has submerged to the bottom of the standings once more. With a 6-21 record, it looks as if another year is lost.
It's especially disappointing since Lauri Markkanen just returned from injury and already made a game-winning shot against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The good vibes from that night have faded away since, as a 56-point home drubbing to the Boston Celtics occurred this past weekend and sparked debate all over social media regarding who to point the finger at.
Monday, Yahoo Sports published an article stating that Bulls players went to the National Basketball Players Association to express their frustrations with Boylen's tactics—specifically holding a Sunday practice after a back-to-back.
So that's where we're at in Chicago at the moment. As far as trade talk goes, you'd have to think anything could be on the table at this point. One or two moves aren't going to fix this situation. If anything, it'd be a temporary fix.
The organization could do some favors for its veterans, though.
Robin Lopez's role has diminished significantly and is in his 10th year as a professional. He has an expiring $14.3 million left on his contract before becoming an unrestricted free agent this coming summer. Justin Holiday is another candidate to be moved when you look at his salary. He's making $4.38 million and that deal also expires at this season's end.
The Jabari Parker homecoming has been fine, but nothing spectacular, so there might be some value in trading for him. It's especially valuable when Parker's contract includes a team option for $20 million next season, meaning it could basically be treated as an expiring deal—for Chicago or the team he'd hypothetically be moved to.
Whatever this franchise decides to do, some kind of change has to be made if it wants to get better and consistent.
Players whose trade restrictions are lifted on Dec. 15: Ryan Arcidiacono, Antonio Blakeney, Jabari Parker
Players whose trade restrictions are lifted on Jan. 15: Zach LaVine (can veto trade due to re-signing with Bulls after matching offer sheet. Can't be traded to Sacramento Kings even with consent until after the 2018-19 league year)
Players whose trade restrictions are lifted on Jan. 21: Shaquille Harrison
This is only the Central Division. There's still plenty of time for a makeover for all five of those teams, but just imagine elsewhere around the NBA. Be on the lookout for the rest of our "Buyers or Sellers" division-by-division breakdown series this coming week.
Starting Saturday, it'll be off to the races. We'd better pay attention.
NBA Daily: The Trevor Ariza Sweepstakes: Part Deux
With the Trevor Ariza trade rumors heating up, Matt John speculates which teams could finish the three-way deal reportedly being discussed by the Lakers and the Suns.
Previously on Basketball Insiders…
After it was revealed last week that Trevor Ariza would soon be on the trade market following the expiration of his trade restriction on Dec. 15, much was discussed on who his next team could be. Almost one week following Marc Stein's report, the jury is still out, but we finally got our first trade rumor centered on the veteran swingman.
Last night, Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Lakers are trying to orchestrate a three-way trade where they would acquire Ariza by shipping Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to a team who could then provide Phoenix with both a young playmaker and a draft asset.
If both sides are able to find that third team to complete the deal, then holy nostalgia! First, we get Kyle Korver going back to the Jazz after eight years, and now we might potentially get Trevor Ariza's return to the Lakers nearly a decade after he won a championship with them. All we need is for Kendrick Perkins to return to the Celtics, then we'll party like it's 2009!
But where will they find that third team? With what they've asked in return for Ariza, the Suns should not be optimistic that someone out there will meet their demands. Jimmy Butler didn't fetch back any first-round picks, and neither did Korver, who are both in similar contract situations as Ariza. Getting a young playmaker and a draft asset for a guy who has disappointed enough to be put on the market the second he's eligible is going to be difficult.
With what other teams have to offer on paper, it's not undoable. The Suns may just have to lower their standards on what they hope to get back. The following teams could be the last piece the Lakers and Suns look towards to complete a Trevor Ariza deal.
Philadelphia 76ers
The Sixers were mentioned in this writer's piece last week among the teams that could potentially compete for Ariza's services because they need the wing depth. The Lakers seemingly have the upper-hand in the Ariza sweepstakes, so Philly may have to settle for the next best thing: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
Not to fret, though. Shortly after the Jimmy Butler trade was completed, Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer reported that the Sixers had interest in KCP to help fill the shooting void left by Robert Covington and Dario Saric. Caldwell-Pope's shooting percentages have gone down a little this season, as he's shot 38 percent from the field including 34 percent from three. Maybe that would change on a team like Philly, where his role would be more clearly defined.
The point of acquiring him would be to add much-needed depth to a struggling bench. According to hoopsstats.com, the Sixers rank no. 22 in bench scoring on average, as they put up 34.3 points a game. KCP's not a pure scorer, but he's better than what Philly has in its second unit.
It's also a good match because Philly has Markelle Fultz to offer as the young playmaker the Suns would want. It'd be perfect because the Suns can be patient with Fultz – which Philly can't afford at the moment – and trading Fultz $8 million plus for Caldwell-Pope's expiring deal saves money for the Sixers that they would use to retain Butler and Ben Simmons.
Also, trading the two of them for each other works straight up, which benefits the Sixers because they'd have to add extra contract filler to match with Ariza's contract. If the Lakers and Suns really wanted to make this trade, then Philly would be the most ideal third team to complete it.
New York Knicks
If the Suns are truly are searching for that young playmaker to put next to Devin Booker, then the one team that has plenty to offer in that department is the New York Knicks.
This past week, Drew Maresca wrote about the influx of young point guards that the Knicks have at their disposal and that changes need to be made because they can't properly develop all of them. Getting involved in this rumored Trevor Ariza trade could solve the problem.
Between Trey Burke, Frank Ntilikina and Emmanuel Mudiay, someone has to be the odd man out. The Suns inquired about Ntilikina a short time ago, but New York rebuffed them. Since Frank is the youngest and has the most economical contract of the three, he's the least likely of the three to be traded.
That leaves Burke and Mudiay. Both have done a half-decent job at running the point, as they have put up nearly identical averages in the same number of minutes this season.
Burke: 12 points, three assists, 2.1 rebounds on 42 percent shooting including 36 percent from three on 20.7 minutes a game.
Mudiay: 12.1 points, 2.9 assists, 2.8 rebounds on 45 percent shooting including 37 percent from three on 23.8 minutes a game.
Either one would probably satisfy Phoenix's demands of a young playmaker since they are both in their twenties. They aren't a long-term solution, but since either would hypothetically be traded for Trevor Ariza, that's about as good as they can expect.
New York also has the contract filler to match for Caldwell-Pope. Lance Thomas' deal is non-guaranteed next year, and Ron Baker is expiring. They could easily make this work.
Caldwell-Pope wouldn't be playing for a playoff contender in New York, and he can veto any trade he doesn't like. However, playing for a storied franchise with that much exposure could give his career a boost, especially if he gets more touches as a Knick. If not, then he can just ask for a buyout and join a better team. New York can't offer the same high potential that Philly can, but they can reasonably meet Phoenix's demands.
Philadelphia and New York are the two prime candidates to be the last piece in this three-team deal. That being said, there could be others.
Sacramento, who was also brought up in last week's article, could use more defensive personnel. They could offer Frank Mason III as well as expiring contracts for Caldwell-Pope.
Utah has some expiring contracts, as well as a mysterious young playmaker in Dante Exum, but they're not likely to offer any of that for Caldwell-Pope.
There is also the outside possibility that Ariza goes somewhere besides Laker Land. We have seen scenarios play out like that before, which is why we as the audience always tune into stories like these.
The Trevor Ariza sweepstakes are getting juicier by the day, which brings nothing but joy to NBA junkies alike. This is probably going to be an impactful transaction in a season that already has a list of them, and we haven't even hit the two-month mark yet!
Even if Ariza is getting past his prime, and regardless of where he goes, there's one obvious winner from all of this: the spectators.
NBA Daily: To Tank Or Not To Tank, That's The Question In Brooklyn
With their season quickly falling apart, the Brooklyn Nets must decide on the best path forward and commit to it, writes Ben Nadeau.
The Brooklyn Nets, fresh off three straight seasons of disappointing results, finally looked halfway competent to start the 2018-19 campaign. Fueled by the impending breakout of Caris LeVert, the Nets began the year a very manageable 6-7 — a record that had them in the mix for a postseason berth within a muddied Eastern Conference. With big-time homegrown assets like Spencer Dinwiddie and Joe Harris making strides and youngsters like D'Angelo Russell and Jarrett Allen on the up-and-up, it was officially time to be optimistic, if not downright positive, in Brooklyn once again.
Then disaster struck all at once.
Despite the minor miracle surrounding the brutal, gut-wrenching injury that LeVert suffered on Nov. 12 in Minnesota, his absence has buried the Nets from the inside out. Since then, the Nets have gone 3-10 and now sit only three games back from the ever-so-familiar territory of the conference basement. During this low streak, Brooklyn has blown multiple double-digit leads, gave the win away against Memphis (twice) and suffered a 14-point loss to the dysfunctional Washington Wizards. From playoff contenders to the bottom of the ladder at the snap of a finger, it's gone from bad to worse very quickly for the Nets.
Well, unless you've got your eye on the 2019 NBA Draft, that is.
This is, of course, the first season that the Nets have held their own draft pick since 2013. And, perhaps rightfully so, there are compelling arguments to now release the safety brakes and tank out, especially with LeVert no longer leading the way. Zion Williamson, R.J. Barrett and Cam Reddish represent the crown jewel trio of NBA-ready prospects and adding any of them — let alone the hulking Bol Bol or high-scoring Romeo Langford — would jumpstart the Nets' rebuild in a way not yet seen. Still, the Nets have said from the start of training camp that they'd try to be competitive because their attempt to develop a winning culture needs, well, wins.
Tired of losing — 69-177 over the last three seasons will do that to a franchise — the Nets have constantly put themselves in a position to win, at least for the first 36 minutes or so. But with so many crucial, organization-altering decisions on the very near horizon, Brooklyn will need to reevaluate their direction if the losses continue to pile up. At what point does incubating culture come at the expense of missing out on an elite prospect? On the other hand, their error-prone defeatism would certainly put a toll on a growing roster, head coach and front office if it continued until April as well.
Aside from outright winning — LeVert's injury was cruel timing in more ways than one — there appears to be no unanimously great path forward from here.
For example, there's the internal struggle over Spencer Dinwiddie and D'Angelo Russell. As two of the Nets' best players, a desire to retain them both is understandable — but unless one is willing to come off the bench for the foreseeable future, it may not be the road the franchise wants to head down. Dinwiddie is eligible for his extension worth $47.5 million on Dec. 8 and the Nets' biggest success story in Brooklyn remains candid about his desire to either stay or test the free agent market come June. The flipside of this two-headed coin is Russell, a younger, higher-ceiling guard that has struggled to find consistency every night thus far. Russell is the only roster member capable of the 38-point, 8-rebound, 8-assist effort he dropped last month against the Philadelphia 76ers, but also he's spent many late-game scenarios glued to the bench as well.
Russell, as luck would have it, is a restricted free agent come July and he'll likely have a long list of suitors himself. If the Nets commit to Dinwiddie, they could end up letting Russell walk for nothing. If the Nets take a wait-and-see approach to Russell, they could obviously lose Dinwiddie and leave that situation empty-handed instead.
(For more on this intriguing dilemma, check out Drew Maresca's most recent piece here.)
Utilizing them both will have a negative impact on the Nets' eventual lottery position — unless, naturally, the organization truly believes they can tread water until LeVert's undetermined return. But the Nets will need to decide if hanging around eighth place is really worth missing out on a blue-chip prospect. Even if Brooklyn won't commit to one or both (or neither) of their point guards just yet — Dinwiddie is extension-eligible until Jun. 30 — there's another tweak that could help determine their best-foraged way to the future: The often-maligned youth movement.
There's a clamor for another youth movement in Brooklyn that grows louder with each defeat, this time for Dzanan Musa, Rodions Kurucs, Theo Pinson and Alan Williams. Frankly, the foursome has been tearing up the G League for the Long Island Nets and the thought-process here is rather simple. Play the prospects and rookies and if they energize an at-times lethargic Nets squad — see Kurucs versus the Knicks — then great. If it doesn't and the Nets keep falling down the conference ladder, then at least their future assets will have gained valuable experience at the NBA level.
Musa, the No. 29 overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, has appeared in just seven games so far, most often as the ceremonial white flag in a loss. On Long Island, Musa has averaged 20 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game — but as he's stuck behind a veteran-laden backcourt rotation, there may not be a true opportunity here without a trade. For Kurucs, his previous exclusion has been harder to quantify. Kurucs was forced into the rotation after preseason injuries to Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and DeMarre Carroll and the 20-year-old Latvian not only held his own, he thrived.
He's tallied 7.3 points and 3.3 rebounds over 12.3 minutes per game, an athletic forward finding his place through aggressive open court action and a willingness to get dirty. An injury of his own knocked Kurucs back out of the rotation briefly — wherein that time, Hollis-Jefferson and Carroll both returned — but head coach Kenny Atkinson recently admitted that they may need to find more time for him moving forward.
The pair of two-way signees, Wiliams and Pinson, are considerably less urgent since the Nets can shuttle them between teams for up to 45 days before a decision has to be made. In any case, it's not hard to imagine that both could help the Nets right now if that's what the team is still aiming for in 2018-19. For argument's sake, Brooklyn's front office could be auditioning the likes of Jared Dudley, Kenneth Faried and the aforementioned Carroll — all of whom are expiring contracts — ahead of the trade deadline. Last season, the Nets' extracted a second-round pick out the Milwaukee Bucks for Tyler Zeller, so that route is sensical, especially for general manager Sean Marks.
However, Faried has barely seen the floor at all, notching only 5.6 minutes over just eight contests so far. As of Friday, the Nets ranked 25th in rebounds per game at 32.7 and Faried, an eight-year veteran, has gobbled up a career average of 8.1 of them along the way but this seemingly perfect union hasn't come together. Faried would conceivably help the Nets with their rebounding issues and put him front and center for a potential move elsewhere, so its become an overall confusing footnote indeed. Williams, a former NBA center himself, has pulled down 13.9 rebounds in just 25.2 minutes per game for Long Island — he, in all likelihood, is too good for the G League.
Elsewhere, Carroll underwent a career resurgence in Brooklyn in 2017-18 and he'd be worth a valuable return on the trade market if he's available — but if the Nets still want to reach the postseason, the gritty veteran would almost definitely remain in their plans. Lastly, there's Hollis-Jefferson, who, like Russell, will venture into restricted free agency this summer too. While the stretchy forward has been solidly part of the Nets' rebuild, he could be an eventual casualty depending on how the Dinwiddie-Russell conundrum unfolds. Basically, there are difficult puzzles to solve here without any discernable, clear-cut answers.
But when the overarching goal is to compete despite the loss of your best player, the water gets muddied quickly. It's hard to find time for both the veteran on an expiring contract and the scrappy rookie when those late-game wins turn into shocking losses time and time again.
Stuck between two frames of mind, the franchise has been tossed into a difficult position — to tank or tread water, that is the debate. LeVert's injury turned a promising season into turmoil, but sooner rather than later, the Nets will need to take stock and determine how to most effectively proceed. Whether that's the calculating the value of their two electric guards or the puzzling use of those back-of-the-rotation assets, it'll be a busy winter and spring for the Nets' front office, full of challenging questions that absolutely require the right answers.
Until then, even if the agonizing defeats continue to rise, the Nets must simply decide what kind of team they want to be.
