Being a Harden stan gotta be tough bc every battle they sign up for is just a brutal reminder of how that dude is the biggest playoff dropper of any all time great.
Anti Harden Guy: ok but what about that elimination game where he couldn’t even score 15
Harden Stan: which one
As a Spurs fan who thinks they could use a true PF with floor spacing ability this could open the door for them to entice Rui with a larger role on another contender.
The Lakers and LeBron James are reportedly negotiating a new contract, per @WindhorstESPN
“I think the focus right now is making a deal with the Lakers. Right now he's allowed to negotiate with the Lakers and I believe they are negotiating, I believe they're going back and forth,”

Big thank you to everyone in San Antonio who welcomed me with open arms this year and to all the Spurs fans who read and watched everything I did. It was a big sacrifice leaving my life behind to cover this team and the reward was beyond just getting to tell the story of a memorable finals run and a moment of transition for the league around such a special, but still growing star in Victor. It was to forge so many special bonds, from new friends who expanded my world to strangers coming up to me and telling me how much my work means to them. It was a great year in San Antonio and a wonderful locker room to cover. I’ll always cherish this journey.

I am not a wrestling fans so “heel turns” are new to me, but I don’t like it out of Wemby. He is 1 missed blocked or accidental hit away from missing a finals game! I don’t think this one on KAT was intentional but that’s the reason to not be one. Besides ya know the obvious.
It’s a very tough break for both those early calls to go against KAT.
Full stop.
However, it’s 1 minute into the game and you’re down 25 at half despite being +17 FTA. You’re giving up layups after made baskets.
When the calls get blamed for this it’s gonna be maddening.
Wemby got away with a wild shove on Alverado last game but he just reallllly got away with a blatant shove on Brunson on a screen. That was an obvious tech, don't know how they missed that. Credit to Brunson for getting up, pointing in Wemby's face and then screening him. Brunson is tough.
Because of Howie Roseman’s job security and the sharpness of the Eagles, they’re able to take advantage of other teams undervaluing future picks
They showed this in 2022 when they traded 16 and 19 for 18, 101, a 2023 1st and 2024 2nd with the saints
With getting a 2028 1st in the A.J. Brown trade, they’re probably getting better than market value by being able to take advantage of future pick discounts
The discount rate on future picks isn’t 0% but probably overestimated by most teams
