I miss @KDTrey5 on the Nets. Even when the injuries & nonsense hit , he kept hooping and tweeting. Kept the fans entertained to the max. We'll never have that again.
#Nets GM Sean Marks of Michael Porter Jr extension: “We’ll have those discussions. We’ve got time. There's no immediate hurry right now w/ Mike. We value him a lot. He had a terrific year last year, arguably his best year as a pro…So I look forward to having those discussions.”
Lamine Yamal has NEVER lost to Kylian Mbappe in a single elimination match 😳

🚨⚠️ OFFICIAL: Belgian Federation inform US Soccer they will contest Balogun’s eligibility after the game, if selected.
“The RBFA has informed the United States Soccer Federation that it contests the eligibility of the player, should the player be listed on the referee's team sheet”.
“This leaves all further actions open.”
Rudi Garcia says Belgium is not "just defending itself or the national team," but "defending football in general" by appealing FIFA's suspension of Folarin Balogun's one-game ban

Frank I love your analysis but it's not like they changed what happened during a game. They changed what happens next game. That wasn't a red. Belgium should be prepped regardless...
🚨Zinedine Zidane on Michael Olise:
“We called him one of the best wingers in the world, but after tonight I think we have to start calling him one of the best playmakers in the world.
People see the dribbling, the tricks and the flair, but what impresses me most is his understanding of the game. He knows exactly when to slow it down, when to accelerate and when to deliver the final pass.
Look at the chances he created tonight. The quality of those passes was extraordinary. All you have to do is make the run and Olise will find you.
Right now, I don’t see many players operating at his level in that role. He is in a category of his own. If he continues performing like this on the biggest stage, I would not rule him out of the Ballon d’Or conversation this year.”
Just in: Oklahoma City's Isaiah Hartenstein intends to sign a new three-year contract to return to the Thunder through 2028-29 that brings his total earnings with the franchise at five years and $134 million guaranteed, sources tell ESPN. A key signing in 2024 leading to the 2025 championship, Thunder lock in the defensive anchor.
The Miami Heat are showing interest in signing Russell Westbrook. Miami badly needs a playmaker, and Westbrook could help make Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo even more dominant.
