Memphis traded Jaren Jackson Jr. for a package that included a 2027 first-round pick from the Jazz that could theoretically be the No. 1 pick. That was part of the trade. And the NBA just undid it less than four months later. Now it can't even be in the top five.
Ridiculous.
saying this on espn during the nba playoffs is honestly just an enormous deal, and deserves all the credit in the world. not hyperbole to say it could be life saving for someone
This tip-out is my favorite individual basketball play ever. Rest in peace to Brandon Clarke. Thinking about his teammates today. There are endless pictures of them with Brandon smiling and embracing. I hope they can find some peace, along with his family.
@OmarKelly And it's safer. You're backing into a parking space boxed in by other cars vs backing out into a parking lot with other cars moving, people walking by, bikes, etc.
Dillon Brooks has shot 35.3% from the field (118 of 334) in his last 25 Playoff games across 3 franchises
That’s the lowest FG% of all players to have taken more than 300 shots in the Playoffs in the last 5 seasons (since 2021-22)
Kevin Garnett has a blunt message for Ja Morant
"Get off your pride, bro. Go travel, go play, go do what makes you happy... focus on the love. F*ck the hate. The hate is going to be there... Something you’re doing isn’t working and you’ve got to find it."

draymond green versus dillon brooks with a chance to go to the playoffs on the line
the nba should allow them 9 fouls each this shit is gonna be a sledgehammer fight
I will have a column later tonight with more, but here is what Raptors assistant coach and Memphian James Wade had to say about NBA players suggesting the team should move from Memphis:
This was the other thing. When dillon and ja refused to talk to media after talking all that shit vs. LA, Jaren and Des did the professional thing. When the team was tanking and developing, Jaren played when they wanted him to play and played well and got better.
Guy did everything asked of him
