MSU in the champions classic:

-quickly down 17 points after unforced turnovers

-1 player gets hot, MSU cuts deficit to 4 @ half

-2H is a repeat of the turnovers + they can't score

-other team's best freshman scores 25+

-MSU closes gap to 6 with 2 mins left, but still loses

I’ve been on this train for a few now. I’d love to keep duren first but this would be my first pivot

[Ku 🦉 @KuKhahil]

Imma throw this out there like a flash bang and run away…

If Detroit can’t come to agreement with Duren, getting a stretch 5 in Turner and then go trade for a starting 4?

[Dirty Dan @sauersdaniel]

The fact anyone ever thought Kawhi would sign an extension anywhere other than in LA is hilarious 😂 dude won a ship in Toronto and could have ran it back but chose to leave and go home

[Jake Fischer @JakeLFischer]

Much of today’s story focuses on Detroit, where sources say any possible Pistons pursuit of Kawhi Leonard has been slowed by the fact the Clippers’ All-NBA forward would not sign an extension with Detroit.

@overthinkingNBA Cool analysis. I just struggle to understand why like Ebuka Okorie is a B and not an A for the other analysts. I don't get it. He fills precisely what the Pistons need, is incredibly talented, might be a steal, etc, etc. What should Detroit have done instead?

[Dirty Dan @sauersdaniel]

I think the caveat to this is every team other than the bucks had 2 number 1 options. At the very least a 1A and 1B.

Nuggs: Jokic & Murray
Thunder: Shai & JWill
Celtics: Tatum & Brown
Warriors: Steph and Klay

I agree with your premise though

[Ku 🦉 @KuKhahil]

When the Nuggets traded for Aaron Gordon, did Nuggets fans complain that they didn’t trade for a superstar

When the Thunder traded for Caruso and signed Hartenstein, did Thunder fans complain that they didn’t get a superstar

When Boston/Milwaukee traded for Jrue Holiday did Boston/Milwaukee fans complain they didn’t trade for a superstar

When Golden State traded for Andrew Wiggins, did Warriors fans complain they didn’t trade for a superstar

lol shit is funny because everybody thinks Jameis doin this for show but he really just a genuinely good dude in real life… cameras or not.

[Dirty Dan @sauersdaniel]

I think there are arguments for Paolo and Amen. Ausar is up there but clear 4th with lacking the 2 way upside those three currently have

[Ku 🦉 @KuKhahil]

Remove Wemby, how many guys under 23 are you taking over Dylan Harper long term?

I'm sorry you cannot put 2001 Shaq in a "supporting cast" graphic.

Two days ago, Spencer Pratt held a cookout at Jim Gilliam Park in the Jungles. A week earlier, Rolling 60s territory. Politicians avoid these neighborhoods, scared of the anger from decades of neglect.

Spencer showed up anyway. Broke bread. Listened.

This is a new Los Angeles.

[Mily @DayDreamThis]

She's averaging 22.5 PPG (that's #3 in the WNBA).

She's averaging 8.5 APG (that's #1 in the WNBA).

her splits are 41/35/97.

She is also one of 6 guards in the entire league that is averaging a block and a steal per game.

She's shooting 63% at the rim.

Improved her dribble.

[Dirty Dan @sauersdaniel]

These legitimately might be the best two mock trades around the margins I’ve seen for the pistons

[The Detroit Elite™️ @TheDetroitElite]

Two realistic trade-ups centered around Ron Holland and the 21st pick that would send Yaxel Lendeborg to Detroit. 👀

1. Trade up with the Mavericks.

Pistons receive: Klay Thompson, 2026 9th pick
Mavs receive: Ron Holland, $8.7 million trade exception (Schroder TPE), 2026 21st pick, 2028 protected 1st round pick.

- Pistons sending two 1sts may seem like a lot in these deals, but both are likely in the 20s. Sending out a protected future 1st is necessary if you think Yaxel is a missing piece to this core reaching the finals. Adding an aging HOF shooter helps with shooting woes. Yaxel ideally fits the roster much better than Ron and gives Tobias insurance.

- Mavericks prioritize athleticism/defense with a young upside prospect with Flagg. Plus they add an additional 1st rounder and relieve around 8 million in cap space sending out Klay. Would they really find a better prospect than Ron Holland at 9 while also passing up the chance to add another first-round pick?

2. Trade up with the Bucks.

Pistons receive: AJ Green, 2026 10th pick
Bucks receive: Ron Holland, Marcus Sasser, 21st pick, and 2028 protected 1st round pick.

- Pistons take advantage of a pending rebuild, add a much needed sniper for Cade to go along with Yax's immediate fit. Huge needs being filled – shooting, PF depth and better fitting roster.

- Bucks land a 21 year old, former #5 pick to continue to develop. They desperately need draft capital and obtaining extra 1st rounders that doesn't include a Giannis trade should be a goal for Milwaukee.

This has been my hot take all year

This community note is pretty rough

[The Lakers Daddy @NugsGetBuckets]

Oh so he can balance well he’s just choosing to fall over and flop every single shot…

[bomani @bomani_jones]

yo, this is a GREAT take. i can’t say enough how objectively excellent he is in this minute.
