@TheDunkCentral @Tjonesonthenba Do teams other than Chicago and Brooklyn have cap room to pay $30M?

Free agency is here and, right now, my TL is all LeBron, all day. Where's he going, what are the Warriors doing, etc. That's fine. He's LJ. I get it! But I'll tell you what I'm actually watching, and it isn't LJ and marquee guys. It's the OGs.

Don't get me wrong, I love this young NBA. These kids are so skilled it's almost unfair, and athletic in a way that's crazy. Different game now. A better one in a lot of ways, and I mean that.

Here's my thing, though. When I came into the league I didn't know anything, not really, and it was the vets who raised me. Guys like Ervin Johnson and Lindsey Hunter and Ray Allen taught me how to carry myself, how to be a pro on the nights nobody's watching. Taught me about money. Shoot, taught me about golf, about how to be a man. I needed that. Most of these young guys need it too, whether they know it yet or not.

So yeah. Harrison Barnes going back to San Antonio, that one was obvious. Russell Westbrook getting tied to DC? I love it for AJ Dybantsa and them. And if you've got a young roster you're trying to grow, you have to call a Khris Middleton or a Mike Conley. Get somebody in that locker room who's seen it, lived it, and can pass on that knowledge.

They can still give you minutes, sure. But that's not really why you sign them. You bring them in for the kid who's got all the talent in the world and no idea what to do with it yet. The vet pulls him aside when the coaches can't. Shows him the little things nobody teaches you in college. Shows him how to play the game, but also live the life.

Each one teach one. That's how it used to worked in the NBA. Let's make sure the young guys get that same guidance.

@GregFinberg @GetUpESPN This is vintage Rich Paul. What does every player in this mini drama have in common? They’re represented by Paul. He needs to find a home for LBJ and a max contract for AD. Fabricating interest for both of them helps both causes.

[larryirving @larry_irving]

@ellabrockway “It’s a swing…. And a miss…”

[larryirving @larry_irving]

@The_DC_Bob Rich Paul took his shot. He’s trying to get that max and no one is biting…. So now maybe AD goes out and tries to earn that max contract on the court…..

Ivory Coast v Norway is the World Cup Round of 32 match that best shows the absurdity of the Mercator Projection.

Despite Norway being shown on most maps as far larger than Ivory Coast, the two countries are actually almost identically sized. Ivory Coast is 322,463 km², and Norway: 323,802 km².

Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

BREAKING: LeBron James will continue his NBA career for the 2026-27 season and has informed the Los Angeles Lakers that the franchise can move on without him because he will play elsewhere, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul tells ESPN.

I've heard from enough Republicans that the crowds really are as empty as the photos. Here's my take:

1. Highjacking America 250 in favor of "our own" Freedom 250 celebration killed the bipartisanship
2. The inaugural-style security restrictions (large bags, tripods, bug spray etc) turned away crowds
3. Having the National Mall walled off is mind-bogglingly disinviting

The Folklife Festival is one of the largest annual events on the Mall. See how the crowds have free movement That ability matters.

Why can't we blame the rain for this past weekend's poor showing? Because there were more people a few blocks away attending the annual Barbecue Battle.

Does anyone have Freedom250 footage that looked as lively as DMV Eats' video here?

Trump has produced phenomenal events. This one was poorly planned and he should air out the team behind it.

@curtiefoo @Rachel__Nichols yup!

[larryirving @larry_irving]

@Rachel__Nichols Two words... Rich Paul... He always has a plan... or several... putting his clients LBJ, Draymond and AD on a team with Curry that would be a "don't miss tour" works for him/them. If that doesn't work, getting a max contract for AD and something above MLE for LBJ also works...

[larryirving @larry_irving]

@WigsNBA @OBtoojiveforyou Rich Paul is the agent for Green, AD, LeBron. His job is to get his clients max dollars while finding positive team situations for them. There’s zero reason for AD or Paul to say anything negative about the only team that can give AD a max contract. And last week was last week!

[larryirving @larry_irving]

@WigsNBA @OBtoojiveforyou His agent, Rich Paul, is saying something very different. The Wiz are the only team that can pay AD $275M, of course he's gonna say he "loves" it here. Will he love it here if doesn't get a Max contract? I'd bet no!

Just in: San Antonio Spurs forward Julian Champagnie intends to sign a new three-year, $45 million contract with the franchise through 2028-29, sources tell ESPN. The Spurs declined Champagnie’s $3 million team option to give him a new deal. Waived three years ago, Champagnie has become a vital part of the Spurs core.
