Bill Simmons on the Nuggets:

"You have Jokic on your team, pay everyone."

He's right.

Why rush to break up a proven contender?

Peyton Watson has developed.
The core already knows how to win.
Jokic is still Jokic.

Run it back and take another swing at the title.

Happy 50th Birthday to Earl Boykins 🎉

At 5'5", the second-shortest player in NBA history still managed to:

🏀 Play 13 NBA seasons
🏀 Score 32 points in a game
🏀 Set the record with 15 points in one OT
🏀 Bench 300+ pounds
One of basketball's greatest underdog stories.

Jamal Murray is reportedly ineligible for the 2027 FIBA World Cup and 2028 Olympics after being unable to make Canada Basketball's required three-year commitment.

A huge loss for Team Canada moving forward.

Jamal Murray will not play for Team Canada in the 2027 FIBA World Cup or the 2028 Olympics because he was unable to give the 3-year commitment that Canada Basketball requires from its players.

The 3-year commitment is mandatory for Canadian basketball players to be eligible for bigger tournaments like the Olympics.

NBA players who committed are Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dillon Brooks, RJ Barrett, Bennedict Mathurin, and more.

Murray joins Andrew Wiggins and Shaedon Sharpe as guys who are out moving forward 👀

“Why does Denver have to trade anybody to sign Peyton Watson? F*ck off. You have [Nikola] Jokic in your team... Pay everyone... [Stan] Kroenke has a gazillion dollars, just keep everybody, and pay Peyton Watson. Your owner is super rich, what are we doing?”

The Nuggets could consider a major offseason shakeup.

Mock trade idea via Sam Quinn on the Third Apron Podcast:

• Nuggets receive: RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Collin Murray-Boyles

• Raptors receive: Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, DaRon Holmes

The Nuggets will have ZERO second-round picks over the next 6 years after the 2026 NBA Draft 😳

Denver has fully committed to the win-now window around Nikola Jokić.

Kevin Garnett on American players being better than International players 🤔

"International players are not better than us... You got 4 n***** that’s supposed to be the nicest n***** in the league, the rest of them n***** are not that nice Lord, stop sayin that sh*t... [Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Luka Doncic]. They are exceptions... Bro, I can't even name another French man. And it's like 30 of them n***** in the league."
