An anonymous NBA GM on the Jaylen Brown trade

“This is a classic case of the credit goes to the guy who scores but they're not driving team success. There's guys like this all over the league, the difference is he's not at $40M... he's at $60M. It's really hard to tie up that much money in your salary cap for one player unless they're truly generational, and he's not even close to that. Also, the league is getting smarter now. And here's the thing: the dumb teams are the cheap teams.”

This is interesting by @WindhorstESPN: the Knicks' dominance in the playoffs had some financial implications for all NBA teams.

Fewer playoff games → less revenue for the league → lower salary cap than expected.

@soveyx Just hit decline. This option is not going away. I will never be guilted into this type of tipping.

The "Big Beautiful Bill" would increase the standard deduction for couples filing jointly by $2,000 each tax year from 2025 to 2028, while couples 65 and older will see an increase of $8,000. Another transfer of wealth from the young to the old.

@BleacherReport Nurse spoke yesterday how Embiid has to round into game shape. How can he do this without playing in the game? What a tough spot.

@ShamsCharania These guys aren’t healthy. Back to backs have been part of the for time and memorial. Interesting to see what the league thinks about this….

@NBA_NewYork Folks the Knicks are back! Just like the 90s it’s fashionable to hate on the Knicks again 👍

@Colts This decision came from the very top. 2 weeks ago AR was getting killed for tapping out of a game now he’s back as the starter. A main thing I’m sure that grinds owners gears is not seeing their high pick QB on the field.

@unusual_whales This is wild. My guess is either their discretionary spending is out of control, they have too much house or rent, or too much car. Budgeting is essential!

@elonmusk Solar is absolutely necessary for the LONG TERM energy transition. I feel this would be best served on a micro level in homes and commercial buildings. I would love to see nuclear as the long-term macro solution for mass energy needs. This will take time.

[Dan Bukowski @realDanBukowski]

@NBA_NewYork I think the Knicks will translate better in the playoffs. The shortened bench will be more of a thing for all teams and the Knicks for sure will ramp up their perimeter D.

Can’t say it did anything more to juice the game. Let me know when the knockout round starts. I expect the Knicks to be there. 2/2

[Dan Bukowski @realDanBukowski]

Watching yesterday’s Knicks/Sixers Emirates Cup game it felt like an ordinary regular season game the first 47 minutes. The teams didn’t just run out the string of a game in hand knowing there is a point differential component to advance to the knockout round for the at large bid

@WhiteHouse This will just tack on $10k to home asking prices across the board as there is no way to know if the buyer will be a 1st timer. All prospective buyers will pay for this.

Walmart using + as a perk for the #Amex Platinum card members was a big win to gain more affluent customers. This is a small piece of #Target losing market share from this key cohort they have leaned on historically.

@SavingsCaptain @DividendDudeYT Starbucks needs to “Chipotle-ize” their menu. Make it simple and quick.
