"In light of the dour present and the potentially dour short- and medium-term future for the franchise, Giannis may view his best chances at a title lie elsewhere. It is his right to make that call."

Chris Paul is literally an old yeller
I was at the Clippers' game last week when they had sort of an impromptu CP3 Appreciation night and our friend (a lifelong Clips fan) compared it to a family giving their dog "one last great day" before sending them to the farm and was accidentally the most prescient woman alive

this seems insane for any union to agree to?
NEWS: Among the more than a half-dozen new CBA proposal items we’re reporting on, the WNBA has proposed a draft combine.

Players that are invited, and elect not to participate without an excused absence would have their salaries reduced.

"This season has proved, more than any, that the league has passed Rivers by."

@brewhoop.bsky.social was early on the calls to fire Adrian Griffin, and now @jgrossreporter.bsky.social says it's time for Doc to go.

It’s time for the Bucks to fire Doc Rivers
Rivers is 74-66 (.528) in 140 career games as the Bucks head coach

"Having multiple key contributors on affordable deals will be the name of the game for the Cavs if they want to keep the core four together. So far, they have done a good job of navigating the second apron in terms of filling out the back half of the rotation."

Per @thesteinline.bsky.social, “more teams than not that we speak to are increasingly convinced that the Jazz are more likely to try to add to their Markkanen-led core this Trade Season rather than trade Markkanen away.”

Clash of the Titans tonight in LA as the Lakers (2-0) take on the Clippers (2-0) in West Group B. Lakers are currently in 1st due to point differential, and a win tonight would all but secure them the group. Would be a huge step towards getting LeBron two Cups in three years, ending the GOAT debate.

Inflation is out of control. Numbers dont mean anything anymore
Dillon Brooks averaging 21 points per game is a sign of America's declining influence on the global stage.
