Trades like the Jaylen Brown trade are why I never feel bad when people make fun of some of my fake trades
If I had suggested that on here I’d have gotten torched… and an NBA team actually did it
I can't think of a name (2012-onwards) that Brock Lesnar has enjoyed working with more than Oba Femi.
You can see it in his face.
He loves working with him.
Danny Ainge is just incredible.
After the Walker Kessler trade today, the Utah Jazz have effectively traded Rudy Gobert + Donovan Mitchell for:
• Lauri Markkanen
• Jusuf Nurkić
• 9 first-round picks
• 5 first-round swaps
• Several second-round picks
Firsts already used:
• 2023 MIN → Keyonte George
• 2025 MIN → Will Riley → Walter Clayton Jr.
• 2025 CLE → Liam McNeeley
Firsts still coming:
• 2027 MIN
• 2029 MIN
• 2027 CLE
• 2029 CLE
• 2031 LAL
• 2033 LAL
Swaps still available (probably worthless):
• 2026 CLE swap
• 2028 CLE swap
• 2028 LAL swap
• 2030 LAL swap
Tons of flexibility going forward for the Jazz. They can flip Lauri if they want or they can use future assets to trade for a star.
Admittedly, those likely late first rounders aren't that valuable so the number of first rounders looks better than the actual value of them, but getting all those assets and Lauri who is a star himself is pretty awesome.
I have a dumb question:
If Jalen Duren is eligible for a 5/287 deal with the Pistons, and the most another team can offer is 4/177, why WOULDN'T the Pistons WANT another team to sign him to an offer sheet so they can just match and save 110 million and an extra year?
By re-signing Harrison Barnes and extending Julian Champagnie, the Spurs are officially operating "over the salary cap".
Don't panic! This actually unlocks the NBA's best built-in "spending coupons" to target outside free agents starting tomorrow:
1️⃣ Mid-Level Exception (~$15.1M): Can be used to land a high-end starting forward or split between multiple rotation players.
2️⃣ Bi-Annual Exception (~$5.5M): A separate bonus bucket to snag a reliable veteran contributor.
Bottom line: The front office kept future books completely clean while maintaining the financial firepower to add major impact to the rotation next to Wemby.
Because we don't know the new Julian Champagne deal is structured. The following is a rough estimate of where things stand:
WWE has announced that Nick Aldis has been placed on administrative leave following his physical confrontation with GUNTHER.
And Adam Pearce is now in charge of both RAW and SmackDown.
IT'S HAPPENING!!! 👀🔥

So the Lions cut Terrion Arnold, Brian Branch tore his Achilles in December and Kerby Joseph has chronic knee issues that, as recently as June, had Dan Campbell saying “I don’t know” about Joseph’s health in the future.
Yet the Lions are the favorites in the NFC North. Huh?
