Welcome to Philly, @LabaronPhilon. Real quick, do you ride motorcycles? Do you have a sesame seed allergy? Have you ever played basketball and thought “I’d rather be a professional fisherman?” Let us know thanks!
Mike Gansey on potentially trading into tomorrow's second round: "We don't have a pick now, but [we'll discuss] where we can get in, who we want to target."
Gansey says the Sixers want to be aggressive and points out that "we have roster spots."
really this is ideal, Giannis and Bam aren't winning anything, Giannis on the Celtics would've been really annoying, and now the Celtics have the whole passive-aggressive Jaylen Brown thing to deal with, 10/10 outcome
I’m just gonna say….
I would be absolutely shocked if Hugo was/is thrown into any Giannis trade offer. The entire organization is all-in on him - Stevens prob the most. They could not be higher on him. I genuinely don’t believe he’s involved. Guess we’ll see.
Watching this exceptional game, capping off an incredible series, with teams built around tanking (Thunder) and multiple top-3 picks in a row (Spurs), thinking about how none of this would happen under the new anti-tanking rules but at least Utah will play Lauri down the stretch
Vince Rozman is incredible.
He’s also a hidden gem because he deflects credit so graciously.
He’s *great*
-with people
-at evaluating talent
-at systems
-as a communicator
The Thunder made a brilliant hire. At some point soon someone really smart is going to hand him the keys.
casual Sixers fans, they’ll trade me for a Crumbl cookie. But at the end of the day, they have to realize like you know, you’re not getting a 6’9 forward who can, you know, damn near shoot 40% from three, guard other teams best player shoot post-up drive play 70-plus games a year
Tobias Harris since the Pistons had a 2-1 lead vs the Cavs:
10.0 PPG
29% FG
19% 3PT
He ended the playoffs shooting under 30% from three, despite having the best playoff stretch of his career. Weird playoff career for the soon to be 34 year old NBA veteran.
