Josh Hart on the Cavs:
“Analytically speaking, we weren’t there for game 5. So technically, they’re up 3-2. Analytically speaking.”

Commissioner Silver provides expansion update:
"Discussions are on going. I think everyone knows at this point we’re focused on Las Vegas and Seattle…It's not a foregone conclusion that we will expand either in one city or both cities. But what we've told all interested parties is our anticipation our board will make a decision by the end of this calendar year."
The most common name mentioned by league sources for the LA Clippers’ draft spot at No. 5 is Louisville guard Mikel Brown Jr., per @KevinOConnor.
“All indications are that he is dominating workouts.”

@khrisody It was no secret that the team loved Brook's ability to stretch the floor this past season.
No knock on Zu at all but it was just a different dynamic.
Rich Paul reveals he had Darius Garland lined up for a trade to the Spurs prior to the Fox trade, and that Fox had no problem with being the #2 behind Wemby:
"I remember a trade getting ready to take place and De'Aaron and I were talking about it, and we were talking about different options where he could go etc, and obviously I had the Spurs kinda teed up..
At first it wasn't De'Aaron, it was another guard that I represent that I was envisioning going there, because De'Aaron wasn't wanting to be traded yet..
It was Darius Garland. He was flustered, he was frustrated and he wanted to get out.. and the Spurs before they got the 2nd pick, they needed a point guard. And I thought next to Wemby, with shooting and all that. And then things changed and he was fine.
And then so now Mike Brown got fired.. and so in De'Aaron's case when he finally got to the point to where ‘you know what it's probably time’, and we're having a conversation, one of the things we talked about was: OK if you get to the Spurs, are you OK being number 2?
And (Fox) didn't even flinch.
'Absolutely, absolutely.'"

KSI puts out a statement addressing his decision to leave the @Sidemen ❤️🩹
“I know this news has been hard to deal with. I know that some people don't want to believe it. But it's real. I will be leaving the Sidemen. Writing this is just sad. I'm sad. Of course l'm sad. Going through these images, looking back at the years...it's sad. We've done so much man. We've made so much content together, we entertained so many people over the years, we've done so much for charity and we've made so many people on this planet happy. And I don't regret any of it. I had the time of my life. It's been such an awesome crazy journey. I love these guys, and they will always be my friends for life.
Now lemme speak directly to the boys. I know you're all grieving in your own way because of my decision, but you knew it was coming for a while. And I know some of you are angry, some of you don't want to accept it, some of you might even hate me, and some of you are just upset. It's ok, I'll always be here for you. I always have been here for you. Don't see this as the end, see this as a new era or a new beginning. Be optimistic. Think positively. You have an audience that adore you. An audience that enjoy the content. An audience that have grown with us. You're all very entertaining so don't think otherwise. You've done this without me before and it was great haha. But in the end you know how I am, so you know that I have to do this for my sanity. It's still so mad that all of this started from all those Skype calls. Trains ftw hahaha. I love you guys ❤️”
Kinda sounds like Derrick Jones Jr. might be on the trade block. I know for a fact the Lakers would probably offer something like the 25th pick and Knecht, but I can't imagine the Clippers taking that.
DJJ is exactly the type of player contenders are always looking for. A late first and a young shooter doesn't feel like enough.
