LeBron James reportedly met with the entire Cavaliers front office in Akron in early July, but Shams chose not to report it because the meeting was off the record 😳

@DavidBakhtiari Maybe it’d be better if you didn’t need to be spoonfed information. Either your critical thinking is lacking or you’re being disingenuous to farm engagement

A quick Bucks rant. This team has broken me.
For my whole life I'd been a very positive and enthusiastic fan of this team. And I love being that way. That's how I want to be as a fan of a team.
I would look forward to every game, believe to the point of being delusional, and I just freaking loved them. They were my team and I was proud to call them my team.
But in the past year or so they've just taken a lot of that love away. I still obsess over them, I still watch every game, I still think about them constantly, but it doesn't feel like it's out of love anymore.
I've become much more negative, I've started rooting against them this season just because I want to see changes made, and I just don't feel the same attachment to them. I hate it.
And I don't think it's just because of losing. I've loved them through many losing seasons before. But it just feels different this year for a variety of reasons. Not only are they bad, but they are a team I don't even really want to support.
I'm truly sorry for becoming this way and putting negativity out there. I never wanted to be this way, they've just left me basically no choice.
I'm sure I'm not the only fan who has gone through this. It's a weird thing to have your happiness and identity tied to a team you have no control over, and when you do that, these things can happen.
I just hope that soon they can go back to being a team we are proud of again and I can go back to being the type of fan I used to be.
Go Bucks.
Statement from 76ers' Paul George to ESPN: “Over the past few years, I’ve discussed the importance of mental health, and in the course of recently seeking treatment for an issue of my own, I made the mistake of taking an improper medication. I take full responsibility for my actions and apologize to the Sixers organization, my teammates and the Philly fans for my poor decision making during this process.
“I am focused on using this time to make sure that my mind and body are in the best condition to help the team when I return.”
The Warriors are unlikely to trade Jimmy Butler’s contract for Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @TheSteinLine
That could mean Draymond Green is gone 🤯
“Another Antetokounmpo development that has emerged over the past 24 hours: We've heard further strong indications that the Warriors' pursuit of Antetokounmpo is unlikely to involve Jimmy Butler's contract after Butler sustained a season-ending knee tear on Jan. 19. So what does that mean for lifelong Warrior Draymond Green? It has long been assumed that a credible Golden State offer would have to include Green or Butler for salary-matching purposes.”

An anonymous executive says he wouldn’t trade Scottie Barnes for Giannis and would rather have Scottie over the next four years
“One guy is 31 and he’s going to want that extension and the other is 24 and you have him for four more years after this one. Is Giannis going to be the better player over those years? I don’t know about that.”

The Warriors are willing to offer a Jonathan Kuminga/Jimmy Butler–headlined package with draft picks for Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @SIChrisMannix
(Via @SInow )
Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is ready for a new home at the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline or in the offseason as several rival teams make aggressive offers to the Milwaukee Bucks for him, and the franchise is starting to listen, league sources tell ESPN.
