I can’t tell teams to blow it up and tank for at least three years, what a weird world this is

That being said, the soccer fan in me is curious about how a quasi “relegation” system works in a draft based American League

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

Raptors forever disrespected I guess.
NINE votes only for Scottie, crazy

2025-26 All-NBA teams:

First: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembanyama, Luka Doncic, Cade Cunningham

Second: Jaylen Brown, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell

Third: Tyrese Maxey, Jamal Murray, Jalen Johnson, Jalen Duren, Chet Holmgren

Really worried his play is to just maximize profit and decrease fan interest until he can move the team

Hope that isn’t the case, love the NBA being in Portland, but it’s bad vibes for sure

[Evan Sidery @esidery]

The Trail Blazers have laid off over 50 long-term team employees today, including some from their media team, as new owner Tom Dundon implements more cost-cutting measures on the franchise.

Dundon is also still exploring hiring a head coach for the cheapest possible salary.

Mitchell grabs Walter’s knee, slips, and they call a foul on Walter

Nice reputation call

[D’andre Williams @willlumz]

I think the relegation zone should be a rolling 3-2-1 system

1st Year bottom 3 record: 3 Lottery Balls
2nd Year bottom 3 record: 2 Lottery Balls
3rd Year bottom 3 record: 1 Lottery Ball

Good get. Guy who’s proven through a rebuild to build a competitive group

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BREAKING: The Milwaukee Bucks and Taylor Jenkins are finalizing a deal to make Jenkins the franchise's new head coach, sources tell me and @ramonashelburne. Jenkins, a Bucks assistant in 2018-19, went 250-214 and made three postseasons across six seasons in Memphis.

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

Fuck man, hope he’s okay

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Spurs star Victor Wembanyama has entered concussion protocol and is out for remainder of Game 2 vs. Portland.

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

Wow! Multiple borderline lottery guys is very intriguing.

NIL and transfers concerns aside, more continuity in some of the top guys only increases my likelihood of being more tapped into college ball next year

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Florida junior Thomas Haugh -- a projected potential lottery pick -- will return to the Gators next season, he tells me, @JeremyWoo and @jeffborzello. With the 2027 Player of the Year candidate back in the fold, Florida becomes the favorite to open next season at No. 1.

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

Well that wasn’t expected! But absolutely a welcome sight.

Fresh voice as they move into their next era absolutely for the best.

Bulls, Portland, Pelicans and Bucks already all in coaching hunts, I’d imagine at least 1-2 more to join

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BREAKING: Billy Donovan is exiting as head coach of the Chicago Bulls after six seasons, sources tell ESPN.

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

What an impressive turnaround win for Minnesota. Love the defensive improvements and offensive adjustments after the 1st

3v6 matchups in each conference are going to be a BATTLE

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

Foul for foot to knee contact

Literally don’t touch at all… come on man

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

Man this Hawks team is fun. This is going to be an amazing series

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

Well that changes things

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Houston Rockets' Kevin Durant will miss Game 1 against the Lakers tonight due to a right knee injury.

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

Loving these AJ Lawson minutes

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

Shead being the 5th starter is a decision

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

Magic vs pistons going to be awesome physicality and intensity if the Magic team that showed up tonight shows up all series

My type of series

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

Love seeing the Magic get back to their roots, dominant showing

Good wake up call for Charlotte to motivate them for next season, what should hopefully be a big year for them.

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

This is the Orlando team I know and love. This defence is ELITE when they dial in

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

What a strong start and response by Paolo. Love it

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

Hope Dame Sarr does the same as well. Best for their development, likely their draft stock, and would be a very fun backcourt next year

[RunTheNBA @RunTheNBA]

Absolutely the right call. Looking forward to what he can do next season
