There is only one player this World Cup with:

15+ chances created
5+ big chances created

That player is Lionel Messi.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🚨🇦🇷 Lamine Yamal: “Leo Messi has been INCREDIBLE so far. We all know who’s Messi but… no one expected this sort of level at the World Cup”.

“I’m so happy for him”, told @mundodeportivo.

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

Get this… on top of scoring the most goals in the competition, Messi now also leads the way for most expected assists and most big chances created lol.

39-years-old, the best goal-scorer AND the best creator at the World Cup.

What can you even say? 😂

[Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater]

Pair of relevant notes on Kristaps Porzingis' new contract, per sources.

1. Only $3 million is guaranteed for the second season.

2. He's immediately trade eligible because of the structure of the two-year, $40 million extension (no more than 5% raise between yrs 1 and 2).

Draymond Green on opting out of his contract:

“For me personally, you know, I’m always willing to work with the team on whatever is best… opting out I think for us it leaves optionality. It allows to possibly do some things.”

@hmmmmkay feels like a tad expensive to me ngl

Butler on being traded:

“It wouldn't be the first time… If I get traded, I get traded. Their job is to win… If they feel like somebody else can help them do that on a quicker timetable than whenever I come back, then they got to go and do that, but as of right now, I'm here.”
