Welcome to Tier 3 of The Athletic’s NBA Player Tiers, where we rank the top 125 players in the league. This is quite possibly the most polarizing tier — made up of swing players who ultimately “decide playoff spots,” says @LawMurrayTheNU. nytimes.com/athletic/72892…


"Why does an actor's race matter?!" Ok… now imagine it was this:

The Dallas Mavericks are expected to submit a proposal soon that entails demolishing Dallas City Hall, designed by I. M. Pei, and in its place building a new 50-acre entertainment district, anchored by a new NBA arena. ow.ly/lFGm50YJ3YI


Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.


Source: The four second-round picks the Minnesota Timberwolves traded to the Chicago Bulls in the Ayo Dosunmu deal are a 2026 second (least favorable of DEN/GSW), a 2027 second (via Cavs), a 2031 second (more favorable of MIN/GSW), and a 2032 second (more favorable of PHX/HOU).

Dallas is receiving a 2026 Thunder first-round pick and a 2030 protected Warriors first-round pick in this deal from the Wizards along with second rounders in 2026 (Phoenix), 2027 (Chicago) and 2029 (Houston), sources tell ESPN.
