JJ Redick says Michael Jordan and California are the reason NBA players and other athletes pay the jock tax “I believe Michael Jordan was essentially the reason that athletes get taxed the same way that entertainers get taxed.

The 2028 one will likely end up as the Clippers’, who are beginning a rebuild with an Aspiration-sized anvil over their head. The ’31 pick is Philadelphia’s and, hey, who knows where the Sixers will be in four years. Boston has kicked the tires on Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III, sources say. This deal gives them more assets to pursue him.” (Via si.com/nba/chris-mann…)
