Memphis traded Jaren Jackson Jr. for a package that included a 2027 first-round pick from the Jazz that could theoretically be the No. 1 pick. That was part of the trade. And the NBA just undid it less than four months later. Now it can't even be in the top five.
Ridiculous.
@AndyGlockner As a Syracuse native Melo is dear to my heart. But as a pro I always felt like he chased the wrong things and didn't want to make the necessary sacrifices to his game.
Also, NYK wasn't nearly as well run as they are now.
@AndyGlockner and this is extremely problematic for the NBA. In every other sport, the best teams and the best players are must watch TV. I really don’t think anybody outside of OKC really enjoys watching that team play.
@ADavidHaleJoint Joined "Twitter" in April 2009. I think a lot about what it was like back then to now. I really can't think of anything that is ultimately better now.
It really was a special place for a while.
Monday’s Game 7 of the Canadiens–Sabres averaged 3.0 million viewers on ESPN — the most-watched game of this year’s playoffs & second most-watched R2 game ever on cable.
ESPN averaged 2.2 million viewers for the second round — smashing the previous high in 2024 (1.6M).
@AndyGlockner So brutal. Totally dominated but just couldn’t get that last one.
Weird play at the end. Won the faceoff and then Dahlin just kind of gave the puck away. Bit of a screen on that Newhook shot?
