@Fullcourtpass @johnhollinger If the price tag is too high then the Pistons and Bulls should pause. Duren was great in the regular season but disappeared in the playoffs. He played small and pathetic. While young, it's still a concern because it could be a sign that he isn't that guy, the second option.

The Nets and Bulls will be “circling” with offer sheets for Jalen Duren if the Pistons get cold feet, per @johnhollinger (nytimes.com/athletic/73579…)

@ByTimReynolds Funny how he once mocked those who jumped teams in order to win a chip after he won his lone chip. Now he wants to be traded (aka: jump teams) in order to win another chip. Ready to leave the organization who drafted him, won a chip with, only to leave for another chance. Sad.

Your 11:50pm update. Giannis Antetokounmpo still wants to be in Miami, we're told. But even he doesn't know how this thing is going to end up. This has been your 11:50pm update.

@ShamsCharania Only time will tell if Splitter was the right hire. Don't assume he is since he hasn't proven a thing yet.

BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are finalizing the hire of Portland Trail Blazers interim Tiago Splitter as the franchise's new head coach, sources tell ESPN. Splitter succeeds Billy Donovan as the Bulls' coach after stepping into the head job and excelling in Portland last season.

@gmfb @MikeGarafolo @JaxsonDart Stop giving Nagy credit for what Mahomes has accomplished. Navy didn't unlock anything with Mahomes and media needs to stop trying make it that he did.

.@MikeGarafolo sees a path to a breakout season for @JaxsonDart 📈

@SNY_Mets While the numbers may be there, it probably has to do more with his lack of leadership and hustle. Let's not forget about his average to below average fielding. A talented hitter with a weak glove and average speed all while being the highest paid player? Meh.

Juan Soto is ninth among outfielders and Bo Bichette is eighth among third basemen so far in NL All-Star voting

@Mets Just what the Mets needed....a player who can't hit and isn't very good overall. Nice job Stearns.

We have made the following roster moves.

@Mets The Jorge Polanco signing gets worse everyday. Just another poor decision by Stearns. The man has done absolutely nothing so far in his Mets tenure. How much more of these mistakes by Stearns are we to continue to watch? The Mets are not getting better under his watch.

@YahooSports @ShamsCharania Personally, I'm not sold on Splitter but I'm glad it wasn't Unseld Jr. It's hard being a Bulls fan for most of your life and feel so disappointed, or defeated. None of these moves, GM included, are exciting to me. Time will tell if Bulls ownership made the right decision. Scary

BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are finalizing the hire of Portland Trail Blazers interim Tiago Splitter as the franchise's new head coach, per @ShamsCharania. Splitter had a 42-39 record as the interim HC and led the Blazers to the playoffs for the first time since 2021.

@ShamsCharania I'm not sold on Splitter but think he was a better choice than Unseld Jr.

@ShamsCharania Personally, I'm not sold on Splitter. Don't see how he would do any better than Donovan.

@kayvont @nyknicks For the record, the Knicks championship has nothing to do with the Giants and does not add any pressure to the organization to win chip. Anyone one who seems to think so isn't very smart. The Knicks haven't won a chip in over 50 yrs until now. Not the Giants.

Welp the Pressure is officially on @nyknicks LFG NewYork!!!

@patriottakes To each his own but it's sad knowing Trump's disdain for other races and ethnicities.

Cam Skattebo follows Trump and Don Jr. on Instagram and has liked anti-LBGTQ and MAGA political posts including ones mocking Joe Biden’s health. Fans questioned if the Giants running back was MAGA after Jaxson Dart’s appearance at a Trump rally.

@KingCharge The Knocks finally get to the finals and most New Yorkers don't know how to act but stupid. Those who threw things should be identified, arrested, charged, and banned from MSG for life. Unfortunately, it's the only way they will learn.

Knicks fans throwing stuff at Wemby and the Spurs as they arrive at their hotel😬

@NYPDnews @NYPDTips All those who can be identified who threw a punch or worse, should be charged, arrested, fined, and banned from MSG for life. No exceptions. This type of behavior cannot be tolerated. This is the only way people will learn and it's unfortunate.

WANTED FOR GANG ASSAULT: On Wednesday night after the Knicks game, a group approached a 17-year-old near 237 W 35th St and got into an argument. This individual punched and kicked the teen. He had a seizure and was in a coma. Any info? DM @NYPDTips or call 800-577-TIPS.

@USMNT Trump knows nothing about the team but he thi is they can go all the way. Give that man another cognitive test.

Last night, we received a message of support from POTUS ahead of our World Cup journey.

@chelsea_janes This was another poor trade by Stearns. He is an injury prone player which the Mets clearly doesn't need. Mets ownership needs to start holding Stearns accountable for the mess they are in and this should be his last year with the team if they are smart. The team has gotten worse

Luis Robert Jr. says he expects to return this season. Said back has been responding better in recent days so he might be able to run on the field by the end of the week. Doesn’t know if issue will fully subside or will be something he will have to play through.

@MaxTGoodman Peterson is garbage. Add Senga to that as well. The Mets organization needs to stop carrying Peterson because he's inconsistent. The same goes for Senga. Peterson has had plenty of opportunities to get better yet he hasn't. He is who he is and that's a low tier pitcher.

Carlos Mendoza was asked about how David Peterson is still struggling this deep into the season. "It's hard to describe. He's a good pitcher and we've seen flashes, especially coming out of the bullpen as that bulk guy. But yeah, I think it's just outings where whether it's a walk, whether it's pitch selection, not executing and today was one of those. Again, I look at him as a guy that we're going to need to get big outs for us and I'm confident in Peterson, even though it's been hard for him, but you continue to trust him and continue to work with him."

@TIME He can think what he wants. I've grown up in both eras, watched them both play. Jordan is far more influential across the globe than Lebron and that's a fact. He thinks his numbers is what makes him the best, but it's not. Jordan changed the game and that's why Lebron wears 23.

LeBron James wrote the blueprint for exceeding expectations. Here’s how our first-ever TIME100 Sports cover star redefined the modern athlete: time.com/collection/tim…

@Chiefs @PatrickMahomes It's both ridiculous and insane. No player, NO PLAYER, is worth that kind of money. They extend him yet they don't bother getting him good WR's. Those contracts handicap teams from making important moves. Look at his targets over the past few yrs.

He's our QB1 and you can't have him. @PatrickMahomes

@chelsea_janes The Mets shouldn't hand Peralta and extension because he doeant deserve the kind of money he wants. They should also move on from Alvarez, Senga, Manaea, and several others.

Mets say Austin Warren will start Wednesday and expected Wednesday starter Christian Scott will start Thursday instead.
