Luke Kornet’s voice memo for LeBron to join the Spurs:
“Mr. James, it’s Luke Kornet. You can play alongside a generational player (in myself), Victor too. We have SeaWorld, La Panaderia, it’s bussing. You’re chasing number 5, we have 5, we’re chasing 6. Around the same ballpark… Give me a call.”

Apparently, it took $252 million 😂
In all seriousness, very happy for @Wemby, who is just scratching the surface of who he can be, and for the @Spurs, who just signed him to a max rookie extension (fifth year is player option, according to reports). Enjoy it, Spurs fans!

Raptors: "...the NBA league office informed us that as a result of the ongoing investigation involving the Clippers, we would assume the risk of any potential outcome of the investigation impacting Kawhi.
In light of this, we will wait until the league's investigation is complete.
The Raptors remain eager to bring Kawhi back to Toronto and look forward to a swift resolution for our players, our organization, and our fans."

Really tough to hear the news regarding Jacob Tobey via @fos, who is a credible news source for our industry.
Devastating news if true, and I’m genuinely sorry to see it come to this. In all my interactions with Jacob, he has been nothing but a kind, incredibly gifted, and highly respected pro who is always going the extra mile.
The reality is that none of us are perfect, and we ALL have private mistakes or actions we wouldn’t want the public judging us for.
Please reserve judgment and pray for him and everyone involved instead. Wishing him the best as he navigates this.
