Sting on why he didn’t join WWE after they purchased WCW
“The Rock looks at Booker T and he says who are you? That 1 little comment is all it took to just bury somebody. Let’s let the world know you’re a WCW guy and you’re a peon here.”
After Ric Bucher sent Lebron Twitter (namely, Auntie Shay-Shay) into a high-pitched tizzy, he came back today and cooked em some more, asserting that Rich Paul's whiteboard stunt was done to make it look like LeBron is being sought after by teams when in reality, Rich Paul is begging for somebody to take Le46. Ric cooks and uses the 76ers' recent moves to fill out their roster as clear evidence that Rich Paul is as always, cappin his ass off.

I am all for rules experimentation by the NBA during summer league. It's the perfect testing ground. But if the league has any intention of bringing this "one free throw" change to the big show, the competition committee better put the kibosh on it immediately.
There's a real chance Jaylen Brown could just be Rudy Gay who just so happened to play on a team that had great coaching structure and enough pieces around him for him to be successful & Brad Stevens was ahead of the curve...........OR the advanced metrics simply aren't measuring him properly & the league as a whole is wrong about him. I can't call it right now but I can't wait to see how it plays out.
My gut feel is that PG13 was a more portable player & I'm not sure how Maxey, VJ, Brown and Embiid will fit together and they're probably a 2nd round exit, again.
The Lakers have SIGNIFICANT interest in signing Jonathan Kuminga 💪🏼
“The team, according to league sources who were granted anonymity to freely discuss the Lakers’ offseason moves, is still seeking a young wing to help its perimeter defense. A high-upside swing receiving significant consideration, per league sources, is former Golden State Warrior and Atlanta Hawk Jonathan Kuminga, whose $24.3 million team option was recently declined by Atlanta.”

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.
The old Lakers regime never would've sacrificed LeBron for flexibility to do this.
The new Lakers regime did it at 150 mph.
Either way is understandable. This way is much better for the team long term.
