Of note about the opener, the NBA says it’s just the second time since 1966 the top two players in that year’s draft (Cooper Flagg & Dylan Harper) will face each other in their NBA debuts (also, KAT & DLo in 2015).
It’s the 8th time the Mavs have opened the season against SA, the most of any opp.

Big day today! Hiked up Mount Washington, the high point of New Hampshire (6,288 feet asl), via the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail/Crawford Path. Approx 4 miles & over 3700 feet of elevation gain. A very warm day by MW standards (hi of 66) to reach state high point #9! Now in Maine, my 45th state to visit!

In New England for a few days (work & long wknd at Cape Cod). Went to Jerimoth Hill, the highpoint of Rhode Island. It’s 812 feet asl, the 5th lowest state highpoint. My 8th state highpoint.
Many yrs ago it was on private property and the owner limited access. It’s now on land owned by the state.

The Mavs made the free agent signing of D’Angelo Russell official tonight. The lower number that Kyrie is reported to have taken in season one of his new deal freed up the taxpayer MLE, the reported number for DLo’s deal to join the Mavs after 10 seasons w/ the Lakers, Nets, Timberwolves & Warriors.
The Mavs announced this afternoon they’ve re-signed 9-time All-Star Kyrie Irving. Previously reported transactions can start becoming official w/ the July moratorium ending Sunday morning. Kyrie reportedly took a lower first year number than his player option to free up other roster building tools.
