ok i lied on that’s all i’d say: leadership at that level isn’t and shouldn’t be about being a “company man” (genderless, but you know the saying) — there’s a necessary symbiosis between owners and gms, yes, but the role is about swings, misses, risks and undiluted pride. that’s the point

104 of the Raptors' 118 points tonight were scored by undrafted players.
That's the most points undrafted players have accounted for in a game since at least 1951.

Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders.

Still think they should’ve gotten more from Lakers. But seems like they specifically wanted AD, and shopping around could cause Luka to request a trade and lower leverage.
