Thybulle’s addition put the Lakers at 16 guaranteed contracts at the moment. They will need to move or waive one player by opening night to accommodate him

I think getting 3 second round picks and not taking salary back is good business…. But…. This is the first non-basketball move of the Shai/Dub/Chet era. This move doesn’t clear space for a first round pick and it certainly doesn’t make the team better. They avoid the 2nd apron, but I don’t think the Thunder as contenders should be that concerned about the 2nd apron. The Thunder will still be great and maybe even still favorites in the West, it’s just disappointing the owners aren’t willing to spend on a historic Thunder roster

Charles Barkley says Steph Curry would’ve been ‘broken in half’ in the ’90s NBA “I love Steph Curry, but if anybody with a shred of common sense tells me Steph could’ve taken the licks Michael [Jordan] was taking, come on, man” “Not just the body blows, but the hand-checking, where you could grab a guy and he couldn’t move” “If Steph got hit like Michael was getting hit, he’d get broken in half. That’s just a fact”

Besides The Wire, The Sopranos, and Game of Thrones, what’s an HBO series everyone needs to watch?

I strongly, strongly recommend giving Troy (🌟🌟🌟🌟) a rewatch before going into The Odyssey. Revisiting Troy last weekend was just one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. Nolan quite literally picks off right where Troy ends, so if your memory on The Odyssey is a bit hazy, I strongly recommend revisiting Troy.

Adam Silver says at Game Plan that he wants LeBron to make a decision because the league needs to make the schedule, and teams and media companies are getting antsy.

Andre Iguodala says the new money flooding into college sports is quietly breaking the players it makes rich “We talk about the Portal, the NCAA, NIL. These kids are missing resilience, accountability, constructive criticism in the formative years of their lives” “So when things get hard, they just pack up and go to another situation, because they couldn’t get through what they needed to get through. When we talk about how much money is in sports now, we aren’t being as honest as we should be” “I’m not an old-school guy, these kids are better basketball players than ever, hands down. But some of the characteristics, the values… it’s not their fault. Society switched a little bit”

Vivek Ramaswamy argues that Black Americans were better off in the 1960s during Jim Crow and calls affirmative action "a form of psychological slavery" that is a "cancer on our nation's soul"

Who sent the memo to the pro players to talk about their million-dollar contracts ...yikes stop its been a bad look for most 👊

when LeBron went to Miami, they were quiet about it. When he went back to Cleveland, they were quiet about it. When he went to LA, they were quiet about it. The team he goes to isn’t the teams that make a big media spectacle

Argentina always finds a way. They never die
