New On SI:

"Listen guys, if I'm going to war, I'm taking VJ Edgecombe."

"He told me right before the ball tip, 'I'm going to kill this kid.'"

A feature story - full of stories and anecdotes you didn't know - on the person and competitor, VJ Edgecombe.

Thought Wemby played most of that crunch time way too fast and it really hurt the Spurs.

[Austin Krell @NBAKrell]

@Brianthemovie That's the biggest competitor but Darko was taken top 4 and he was an absolute bust.

[Austin Krell @NBAKrell]

I think it might be indisputable that the top 4 of the 2025 NBA draft class (Flagg, Harper, Edgecombe, Knueppel) is the best top 4 of any draft class in the 21st century.

[Austin Krell @NBAKrell]

Not sure what Brunson wants from Scott Foster lol, there was no foul there.

[Austin Krell @NBAKrell]

I ask this honestly because I’m not baseball savvy enough to know how to argue it, but is there a case that Cris Sanchez is the best pitcher in baseball?

NEW:

The Sixers did not spend much money last summer, largely because they were waiting out Quentin Grimes' restricted free agency.

This summer, they won't have the same restraint.

Why will timing tell us how they feel about their own free agents?

[Austin Krell @NBAKrell]

@BMoonan The first half of that would be the ideal scenario. But they have to decide whether the FAs they want will cost the NTMLE or just the TMLE.

[Austin Krell @NBAKrell]

You get hard-capped at first apron by spending more than the TMLE out of the NTMLE, which is just another way of saying you get hard-capped at first apron if you spend the NTMLE.

[RaidersSixersYankees @BMoonan]

@NBAKrell Don’t they get hard capped at the 1st apron if they use more than $6.1m of their MLE?

[Austin Krell @NBAKrell]

@HarrisMooreMM I actually had to pause writing for a couple minutes to think back and make sure that that was what happened because the most they spent was Edgecombe's rookie-scale contract.

@legendary_jj I have no idea. I just try to avoid absolutes and wanted to point out the possibility that such a transaction could shake up the cap sheet/plans.

[Austin Krell @NBAKrell]

While we wait for the Sixers to officially name Mike Gansey their new president of bb ops and introduce him, here is Philadelphia's cap sheet situation headed into the summer transaction window, with margin notes on all the pertinent rules:

That shit means everything to Wemby. Pretty cool.
