Well, so much for the tax savings for the Nets. Indiana clears some much needed wiggle room under the tax by moving Edmond Sumner (who is out for the year).

The Raps might screw up their pick this year and OG/Barnes might be a game changer sooner than anyone thinks.

That ought to be a fun team.

The more interesting thing here is that he was G-League MVP?!?

I think in baseball they call them "AAAA" players. No disrespect to Frank Mason and best of luck to him, of course.

I hope he cracks the rotation in Lakerland.

Jared Butler looks good. Looks like the Jazz might have their eventual Conley replacement.

Lakers forward Trevor Ariza underwent a procedure on his right ankle and will be re-evaluated in eight weeks, team says.

Maybe signing a team made up entirely of dudes fufe years past their prime wasn’t the smartest idea?

Jason Kidd on Mavs shooting far fewer 3s than Rick Carlisle's offense:

"We’re not just going to rely on jump shooting because that can leave you at any part of the season or in the playoffs. If that happens, you don’t have anything to fall back on, and that means an early exit."

except you sorta need to shoot threes to space the floor forLuka?

The details are all sketchy right now but 18 former NBA players who all made at least 8 figures over their careers combining to fraud 4 million total has a very stealing pens from the office feel to it on the surface.

That said one player supposedly claimed receiving $48k in root canals while he was also playing in Taiwan? I have so many questions.

 

[Krunker]

The insurance scam sounds laughably bad, but apparently was good enough to get $4M before being caught?! I don't think any of them ever played for the Kings at least

They got $2.4 million, but tried for $4 million. Apparently, Terrence Williams was the mastermind behind it all.

T-Will and Antoine Wright did though Antoine Wright in particular didn't really do much in his time here.

Pretty sure this was his exact problem with Giannis in Milwaukee. Fire Boomer coaches that can't adapt into the sun

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Kidd (who my high school played in the NorCal State Final my Senior year) is Gen X but point taken.

Jimmy doesn’t want Lowry touching him in that area 😅

Are the Bulls going to be the team other than the Kings that makes a big jump? 2 all stars, a high end glue guy and a ton of depth. Is this a 48 + win team?

They better. They've literally gone all in on win now types and invested the money to do it.

And Simmons is caving. It was a fun (if ultimately unrealistic) dream.
