Yaxel Lendeborg says all the talk about his age gives him extra motivation:
“Honestly man, I liked hearing it because in a way, it’s giving me extra motivation. You guys are acting like I’m really 45 years old. I’m 23 years old. Most players get into their prime around this age and get better still, you know. This is going to be my first year in the NBA. This is going to be my first year having an actual off-season, summer training, all that stuff. I’m obviously going to grow and get better as a player and learn so much. I really don’t know what it is. If that’s my only weakness, then I must be a really, really good basketball player, you know? So I’m really interested to see how it all goes. And I’m excited to see all the players with the high ceilings and better aspects and goals and inspirations. I want to see how they do when we see each other in the NBA.”

Crowd behind the FOX pregame in the Levi's parking lot is hyped, but the inside looks like an August pregame vs the Broncos -- GET YOUR ASSES INTO THE YARD AND MAKE NOISE, fellow Americans #USA#WorldCup
@BontaHill Created a trio with Maxey, VJ, and JB on revenge mode with literally no pressure on Embid anymore. Dug their own graves. Brown getting a ring in Philly puts him in the same convo as Kawhi for me.
@BontaHill People will still insist that the Celtics would’ve taken Butler, just to give themselves another reason to complain about the Warriors FO. I’m seeing it already 😂
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.
