Alright lets cut this narrative out ASAP

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

NBA sources believe Jaylen Brown thinks he’s the smartest person in the room, per @colincowherd

“I had two NBA sources … two people in the league, one an executive, one a scout, say that Jaylen Brown has — it’s a disease. He suddenly thinks he’s the smartest guy in every room he’s in … You make a lot of money, suddenly you’re absolutely sure, you don’t wanna listen to your bosses, you don’t wanna listen to consultants, you don’t wanna listen to teammates.”

(h/t @TheNBABase & @Fullcourtpass )

Most important factor for them will be Giannis health in April and beyond. They need shooting, additional ball handling no doubt but they probably aren’t as far away as the consensus thinks

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

The Miami roster is pretty barebones right now but I wouldn’t bet against them becoming a contender. Its more season-to-season than it ever has been. Pacers, Heat (2x) and Hawks all either made the Finals or ECF this decade during seasons no one expected them to contend

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

This is comedy 💀 give Keshad a raise for the recruitment man

We Should’ve Known Where Giannis Was Headed At This Exact Moment

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

Looks like this might go for a pretty penny post World Cup… keep scoring 🐐

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

Enough with these uninformed takes man. 8 unique champions the last 8 years, clear proof there are many different ways to build a contender (financially and stylistically on the floor). Brunson’s deal was a major anomaly, don’t expect that to be the norm.

[SpursRΞPORTΞR @SpursReporter]

Spurs are said to be closing in on a 5-year $251M+ rookie max extension for Wembanyama (up to $300+ million with incentives).

It’ll be fascinating to see if Wemby takes a page from Jalen Brunson. In 2024, Brunson left about $113M on the table when he signed his 4-year $156.5M extension. That cap flexibility helped the Knicks keep their core intact and win the 2026 title.

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

Bedazzling the championship T Shirt was an insane decision not going to lie lol

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

They’ll be back though. The fact Wemby doesnt have a go to move yet and hes this good is scary man. He, Castle and Harper for years is tough

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

Ultimately though Spurs collective inexperience at this level cost them, from the players to the coaching. Understandable though you gotta go through it in the NBA

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

Knicks earned that one man one of the best runs youll ever see 🫡 All that talk doomsday talk about the NBA for it to be one of the best seasons in a while

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

Pistons know they’re wrong for not getting Cade some secondary scoring at the deadline, MPJ was right there

Parents take heed, dont internalize your children’s athletic performance

Gary Downs, father of Cowboys S Caleb and Colts WR Josh Downs, kept it real on parenting athletes 🙌

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

No way yall truly believed Bron of all people would blow a 3-0. Simply thirsty for a narrative 💀

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

Knicks are committing serious crimes in ATL man, 40 point lead in the 2nd is crazy

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

Rock Chalk… time to go get it

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

Inevitable (and needed) course correction + a lot of guys are betting on themselves in a “weaker” 27’ draft

[Jonathan Givony @DraftExpress]

The full picture of how NIL reshaped the NBA Draft.

Early-entry numbers climbed from 2016-2021, peaking at 363 when COVID forced seniors to declare to keep draft eligibility.

Alston hit in June 2021, kickstarting the NIL era. Five years later: 71.

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

Biggest individual surprise so far is the lack of production from Jalen Duren, he’ll be All-NBA but definitely losing out on some $

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

The energy for the 1st round of these NBA playoffs so far has been fire. The game is in a good place

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

Hell of a week for the Michael’s out there man 💀

[Nate 🏁 @MoorePaco]

Media literacy is down the drain man we’re getting multiple think pieces on a fake tweet from a satire account…

[David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc]

I am rapidly coming to believe the European soccer transfer model should be adapted for NCAA D1 hoops. Mid- and low majors have to get some kind of compensation when they lose half of their teams to the portal in two weeks:
