The Knicks could keep their core together for the next 3-5 years IF Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart are willing to take a pay cut, per @WindhorstESPN
KAT is eligible for a 4-year, $272M extension.
"If Karl Towns is willing to take a little bit of a haircut, you know, $7-10 million over the course of multiple seasons and Josh Hart is also extension eligible this summer, if both of them are willing to take a little bit of a haircut, you could see this core staying together for three, four, five years."
Zach LaVine will be opting into his $49 million player option with the Kings, per @sam_amick
"Zach LaVine and his agency are not leaving that money on the table. So, he's not opting out."

J. R. Smith says LeBron is still mad about the 2018 NBA Finals play
“I got the rebound. I'm thinking we're going to call a timeout because at that point the game is possessional”
“I'm thinking, okay, bet. We're not about to rush. We're going to get the best shot possible. Any other time, you get the rebound, call timeout, get it to your best player and let them make the play”
“I didn't hear no whistle. So I'm like, alright, shit I'm going to take this bitch to the corner. Let me get some space. KD's seven foot. I ain't about to shoot over this dude when he right here, you tripp’n”
“Let me get to the corner. Nobody still say nothing. I'm like, ‘Alright, bet.’ It looked like they were trying to deny LeBron. So I'm dribbling it out to get the ball to LeBron”
“Like, bro, if I shoot this shit they going to be mad as fuck. You shoot this shit they going to be like, ‘Well, we going to live and die with that’”
“So for me, let me get this shit out of here. Get it to the big fella. He's going to do what he's got to do. Worst comes to worst, we got a timeout. I'm not going to call timeout because then it's, ‘Man, you wasted our timeout’”
“He was hot. He was confused because he didn't understand what is happening. And I'm literally looking at him like, Bro, this is your job. That's why you get the big bucks. They don't pay me enough for this shit”
Vince Goodwill says parity is bad for the league because championships are starting to feel like participation trophies, with a new champion every year 😬
This Germany Curacao game shows why the expanded World Cup is so embarrassing. Can you imagine a serious team losing 7-1 to Germany before all these new teams were let in?
Everybody says the Spurs gotta trade De'Aaron Fox. He's averaging $55M per over the next 4 yrs. Who's trading for him?
🏀 Not a Top 35 player
🏀 Prob 3rd best PG on his own team
🏀 4 Damn Good PG's about to be Drafted
Can’t see why it’s so hard to understand, nobody is expecting you to win the World Cup, so the least you can do is give your fans a pleasant experience.
Seeking out a draw in the very first game is idiotic
This is the difference b/w basketball & hockey. Hockey fans don’t ever hold the Stanley Cup because they didn’t earn it. Only the players get to do that.
