I’m honored to be a part of a program that Coach Lee-McNelis helped build! I coached against her in her final season and witnessed the love her players and community had for her. She was a class act.

Her impact and legacy live on 💙

So it sounds to me like Memphis turned five seconds at the draft into Isiah Stewart, D’Angelo Russell and a pick from the Wizards.

I’m liking what I’m seeing out of the start of Memphis’ rebuild.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

As part of the elaborate six-team trade, the Washington Wizards are sending D'Angelo Russell, a future second-round pick and a future second-round pick swap to the Memphis Grizzlies, sources tell ESPN.

It was a good run out of the US this World Cup. Nothing to be ashamed of at all 🫡

🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card.

FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

FIFA sources insist White House influence could not affect the decision due to the powers contained in Article 27 and the independent nature of the disciplinary panel.

[Bleacher Report @BleacherReport]

Folarin Balogun will be AVAILABLE for USMNT's round of 16 match against Belgium with his one-game red-card ban suspended, per The Athletic

HUGE for USA 🔥

@jmaddoxsports Let's not forget about the game against a Virginia team coming off a great season as well.

[Nick New @NewNick901]

That’s it? I’m stunned Boston didn’t get more.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BLOCKBUSTER: The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

I can’t even be mad, salute to DR Congo 🫡

This NBA offseason has been nuts, y’all.

[Grizz Community @GrizzCommunity]

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you @JaMorant 💙

We’ll always remember the investment you made towards Memphis, not just as a player, but as a person. You showed up for our community with a genuine love for the people who call this city home. 〽️

[Nick New @NewNick901]

@realLatifLove I’m not sure if ZK plans on flipping Grant for either a star or other assets, but this value is INSANELY low after just four years removed from Ja being in fringe MVP talks.

[Nick New @NewNick901]

No picks (seemingly) is wild

[Nick New @NewNick901]

Wow.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BREAKING: The Memphis Grizzlies are trading two-time NBA All-Star Ja Morant to the Portland Trail Blazers for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray, sources tell ESPN.

This is the absolute last place I expected to see Lamelo end up.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.
