Here are my projected protected players based on an estimated 2028/2029 luxury tax at $221mn and 1st Apron of $230mn: If Protect 6 with projected Salary in 2028/2029: 1) Wemby: $72 mn 2) Castle: $43 mn 3) Harper: $17mn 4) Carter Bryant: $8mn 5) Champagnie: $13mn (assumes signs ~ 3yr $40mn '27-'30) 6) '27 ATL 1st Rd pick: $5mn Yaxel Lendeborg/Thomas Haugh Total '28/'29mn 6 contracts: $158mn If Protect 7: 7) 2027 ATL 1st Round Draft Pick (around 20th): $3.5mn If Protect 8: 8) Keldon Johnson: $18.5mn (assumes signs ~ 3yr $57mn '27-'30) Keep but not Protected: 9) Kornet: $9.35mn Total '28/'29mn 9 contracts: $190mn This leaves ~ $31 mn for 5 additional roster spots Trade or unprotect: Vassel ($27mn) and Fox ($58mn) Fox’s contract heading into ‘28/‘29 season at 2 years and $119.5 million ($58mn in '28/'29) at 31 years old makes him the odd man out, but also unlikely to be picked in expansion draft. So the Spurs likely trade him for picks and expiring contracts in 2027.

The NBA Board of Governors has officially voted in favor of expansion to Seattle and Las Vegas! (as first reported by @ShamsCharania). If approved, these new franchises could hit the court as early as the 2028-29 season, generating massive $7-10 billion expansion fees for current owners. One tidbit to add here is LeBron James related. After the long running rumors, he and Rich Paul are said to no longer be interested in pursuing ownership of the Las Vegas franchise.

Glenn, be honest with yourself. Do you really trust the IRGC to stop all missile program/nuclear advancement during a 5 year "moratorium"? Do you think Iran will stop the $2mn per tanker tariffs in the Strait of Hormuz? If not, what did this war that actually solve? The Westernized people of Iran will still be terrorized, tortured and murdered and subjugated by an oppressive Sharia Law regime and a replacement Supreme Leader. So exactly what objectives would Trump have accomplished other than raising oil and natural gas prices globally while it takes Ras Laffan 3 to 5 years to be fully operational again. If there is not a REAL regime change that leads back to a Westernized, truly democratic leader of Iran, than this is the ultimate case of TACO just because his poll numbers are slipping!

The legacy media doesn’t understand negotiation. @FortuneMagazine says Trump “TACO’d again" with Iran (that's "Trump Always Chickens Out" to anyone not as lame as the media, not Taco Tuesday). Have they not seen ANY Trump negotiation over the past decades?! This is what he always does: apply pressure, pull back, and force leverage. That’s not weakness. It's strategy.

@esidery Just geographically wouldn’t it make more sense particularly for flight times to flip SuperSonics & Trailblazers with the Suns and Las Vegas for a true Pacific division?

Once approved, this is how each NBA conference will look sorted by division in 2028-29: West: Thunder Nuggets Trail Blazers Jazz Seattle SuperSonics Lakers Suns Clippers Warriors Kings Las Vegas Spurs Rockets Pelicans Grizzlies Mavericks East: Pistons Timberwolves Cavaliers Bucks Bulls Pacers Celtics Knicks Raptors Sixers Nets Magic Hawks Heat Hornets Wizards

@mazemoore How to say absolutely nothing while trying your best to sound smart, but you actually sound vapid and stupid as hell!

Deep thoughts by First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom.

@ElClubDeLaMMA Only 1 of the 3 that do not have a confirmed fight has not fought in over a year and fought only twice in the last 3 years and is 1-2 in his past 3 fights. It is a COMPLETE joke that he is ranked #4!

Peleas confirmadas en peso pluma: -Evloev vs Murphy -Sterling vs Zalal -Lopes vs García -Allen vs Costa -Pitbull vs Pico -Ortega iba a subir a 155 para pelear vs Moicano pero se canceló. En el top 10 solo quedan sin pelea Jean Silva, Yair Rodríguez y Kevin Vallejos.

@ElChinoVallejos It’s 2-3 years Brother

If WE can defend Movsar’s takedowns, WE would win… Give me 2-3 months Dagestan and forget

@Matt_Pinner All 20

I've been to 2, you ?

The top 5 are clear. 6-8 depends on the terms of Keldon and Vassell’s contract extensions and how the potential plays out for the Hawks ‘26 and ‘27 1st Rd picks. If the NBA teams want to commit roster suicides for the sake of being greedy and only protect 6 or 7 players instead of 8, the Spurs could protect 1 or 2 of the aforementioned instead of 3. Guaranteed to be protected barring major injury in order: 1) Wemby 2) Castle 3) Harper 4) Carter-Bryant 5) Champagnie Unfortunately, Fox’s contract heading into ‘28/‘29 season at 2 years and $119.5 million at 31 years old makes him the odd man out.

In an effort to drive up the bid and value prices for the two new expansion franchises (currently rumored to be in the seven to ten billion dollar range), the @NBA has floated the idea of loosening expansion draft rules. According to two separate sources, one scenario being considered would allow current teams to protect ONLY 6 OR 7 players on their rosters instead of the 8 currently allowed by existing rules. The potential move would allow the two new teams to be more competitive sooner and give each of the current 30 team owners a bigger share of profits from the franchise sales fees. Which 6 or 7 Spurs players would protect if faced with this new possibility?

@ElChinoVallejos Please be honest. Did Yair refuse to fight you? I am tired of seeing everyone fight around Yair and he gets a free pass to rise in the rankings with his inactivity!!

WE are coming for Jean Silva 🇦🇷🔜🇧🇷

Yair Rodriguez! Yair has only fought 2 times in the last 3 years and is 1-2 in his last three fights including a horribly boring win against Pitbull a year ago and does not have any announced fights. Since that boring fight in April 2025, Yair has ducked all tough fights (Diego Lopez multiple times) with fighters ranked below him. His clear plan is to wait for fighters ahead of him to lose and move up the rankings without even fighting and eventually be the default featherweight belt challenger. Therefore, Yair should be DROPPED from the rankings ENTIRELY if he refuses to fight either @ElChinoVallejos or Jean Silva, the futures of the division! BOTH will kick Yair’s ass!

Coming off the biggest win of his career 👊 Who do you think @ElChinoVallejos will fight next? [ B2YB @PolyMarket | DOWNLOAD NOW: poly.market/UFCSocial

@ElChinoVallejos LOVE It! But Yair will duck you! He is afraid to fight an up and comer. You will kick his ass if he did agree to it though.

Yair Rodriguez in Noche UFC? 🤔

Yair Rodriguez! He has been ducking all tough fights (Diego Lopez multiple times) with fighters ranked below him and wants to just coast and wait to move up from his #4 ranking without even fighting to eventually be the default featherweight belt challenger. Yair hasn’t fought in a year now and with Dana announcing fights through the White House, he won’t fight for a year and a half! Therefore, Yair should be DROPPED from the rankings ENTIRELY if he refuses to fight either you or Jean Silva, the futures of the division! You BOTH will kick Yair’s ass!

That is a good question. Who should I fight next?

He wants all the smoke 😮‍💨 Who should @ElChinoVallejos fight next?!

I said to Dana White on X before the fights started and the fights were even MORE BADASS than I thought! It on paper was great and ended up easily being the best card of the year so far!! What I said before fights started: “I think this is the best Apex card EVER! There are so many entertaining fights on this card with a high certainty for a large amount of finishes! This card has SO MANY high upside prospects. Last week’s UFC 326 had bottom third #DWCS S9 contract winners. This week has mainly top third #DWCS S9 winners, highlighted by Top 5 Marwan Rahiki who the UFC is clearly high on by featuring him on the main card.”

how are you rating that card??? #UFCVegas114

BULLSH_T!! Clearly you don’t watch DWCS or don’t recognize talent if you do! I said to Dana White on X before the fights started and the fights were even MORE BADASS than I thought!

This is why you can’t miss these types of cards. On paper this is a bad card, but it’s been entertaining asf #UFCVegas114 x.com/HaduuckenIII/s…
