yo @keithsmithnba.bsky.social just read your article on expansion draft rules and had a question: are there any restrictions on what picks an expansion team can trade? imagining a scenario where a top player becomes available via trade in an expansion year and they just have more assets to bid with.

a big threatening post presence unlocks so much for a team that already plays super fast, not to mention he's great in PNR. you weren't gonna find a 2-way stretch 5 on the market to replace myles' impact so complementing the team's other strengths is better imo.
BREAKING: The Los Angeles Clippers are trading Ivica Zubac to the Indiana Pacers, sources tell ESPN.

best move for both sides rn, relationship got very ugly. i think he can provide value to a team that really needs a punch but the nets are trying to build into a brand of basketball that he doesn't fit into and younger guys could use the minutes. hope a real team takes a swing on him he deserves it.

Shams on Anthony Edwards:

"This offseason, Ant's number 1 focus a new area of development: the post up game, mid post, high post, low post, establishing a midrange game and the fadeaway shot from the post. He's been watching a lot of tape of Kobe and MJ" 😳

Remixed this story last night as a walk-up for Game 5, because the central issue and related numbers in it only grew more pronounced in Game 4: yhoo.it/45sLyc9

i absolutely think ant underperformed last night but that was also one of the best playmaking displays i think i've ever seen from him

credit to the thunder defense for making him uncomfortable, sucks to waste such a complete game from your role players at home
