Are 6 of the first 9 picks really going to be guards 6’5” and shorter? I don’t think that ends up happening… A few guys are going to crash that party. Mara, Yaxel, Lopez, Ament, Steinbach, Quaintance…

Well, Turner had just given Joe an extension in the middle of the 1984 season. But after the Braves finished 80-82, some members of the front office wanted Joe to replace Bob Gibson with Johnny Sain. Torre would not do that, so those executives (John Mullen, Al Thornwell) convinced Ted to go ahead and fire Torre and hire Haas, who those folks had wanted originally to replace Bobby after the 1981 season. Ted instead hired Torre, which lead to a good three-year run that included the 1982 NL West title. It was a huge mistake to fire Joe, as Haas was awful. But, again, it led to Bobby coming back and everything changing in 1991 after Bobby's rebuild worked. #Braves

@BillShanks I was 15 at the time when Joe got fired. Why was he let go?

🚨 2026 NBA Mock Draft 1.0 🚨 Built this one more off projected fit + what I think teams would actually do on draft night. Favorite fits: Mara, Flemings, Johnson, Burries, and Ejiofor. Biggest winners: Bulls, Clippers, and Kings. Sleepers fits: Karaban, Smith and Richmond III Lots of movement still coming before June 23rd, but this felt like a good starting point. #NBADraft

Congrats Stephen, you earned this. Couldn't be happier for you.

The Chicago Bulls are finalizing a deal to hire Orlando Magic assistant GM Stephen Mervis as Senior Vice President of Basketball Operations under new EVP Bryson Graham, sources tell ESPN. Bulls will also hire Brooklyn Nets executive Acie Law as Vice President of Player Personnel.

The Atlanta Dream announced earlier today that the home opener vs the Aces at State Farm Arena has officially sold out.
Throwback to when I asked Angel about the preseason fan reception:
“…I think that 1st game on the 17th, the whole city & everybody else is gonna come out.”

@JasonWalkerNBA 🤣 the way I caught myself like “the game is over, girl”

Great win! I am petty, so I hated seeing those last two buckets go down for Dallas. Up 10 with 35 seconds left.

Jason Collins’ impact on the Atlanta Hawks organization reached far beyond basketball. During his time in Atlanta, he was a consummate professional, leader and winner. As a teammate, he earned respect through his humility, quiet strength and integrity. His courage and authenticity broke barriers across professional sports and will be part of his lasting legacy.
We are heartbroken by Jason’s passing, and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and all of those who were impacted by his life.

This is the image I can’t get out of my head. We know BC was a terrific player, but as a teammate he was even better. He and Trip grew so close, and seeing the tributes today from his former teammates should tell you all you need to know about BC. He will be missed. 💙

@DraftDeeper Agree. A lot of steam in the Mara draft stock room right now.

Starting to get the impression that Aday Mara won’t be there for the Atlanta Hawks at 8…

Incredibly nice guy. Way way way way way too soon.

The following statement was issued today on behalf of the family of Jason Collins:
English
@eddyfromacworth Hoping a team has fallen in love with a player still on the board, but if not that, Mara.
English
@JasonWalkerNBA You are the GM of the Hawks, and Wagler and Flemings are off the board-what are you doing at 8?
English
This is true, which is why they needed that top pick, because they can’t have a guy who can do that but gives it right back on the defensive end.

@JasonWalkerNBA What this team lacks & desperately needs is scoring, specifically a guy who can get his own in half court setting
English
I’ve seen a lot of Mikel Brown, but with Mara, Flemings, Yaxel….there is an angle to do something strong defensively with the pick.
Stephen Gillaspie@StephenGHoops
It feels like Aday Mara to Atlanta has become the internet's unanimous selection today
