@HeatLyfer1 I mean if Brown is in the deal going to a third team, the Celtics don’t have to gut their roster to make the trade the same way the Heat would. That’s the difference

They talk down the Giannis trade for the Heat but not for the Celtics 😂
Heat Central@HeatCulture13
Zach Lowe and Bill Simmons on the concerns the Heat should have about trading for Giannis: Zach: The concerns I think are very real for Miami. If we do this and all our 1st round picks are out the door, and Jakucionis is out the door, what is it going to amount too? You could argue what is the present team going to amount too but at least you have some options down the line for the next star who is available Bill: You’re getting a guy who hasn’t made the conference finals in 5 years. Who has had trouble staying healthy, and your banking he’s going to change your playoff destiny? The more you put in the trade the less likely that goes (Via @BillSimmons)

@tyler_rucker Joe Dumars is comedy gold man. Feel horrible for Pels fans but my guy is always here to provide us a good laugh

The ATL/NOLA rumor is hilarious.
It’s like the gambling friend who lost a gigantic bet and then waits to go back to the same place to do it again
Wait. Is this the movie Rounders?
Is this the basketball version?
English
@SJBasketbal8 3&D guy who didn’t actually play D that well. Older prospect but still low feel (see AST/TO). “Elite” shooter without elite ft%. Skinny frame. I’m just not buying it at all
English
these are the prospects in the 2026 draft class with the biggest assist-to-turnover dropoff in the half-court compared to their overall figure. mostly high a:to players here:

@jonmoxIeys Pretty nuts that not that long ago it felt like the two less popular in their own market teams (Clippers and Nets) were poised to outdo the Knicks and Lakers and instead it’s just gone completely the other way

"If you don't play it dead serious, you're not going to get the comedy out of it" Stephen Root talks to Rolling Stone about his greatest roles, from Wyck on 'Widow's Bay' to Milton in 'Office Space' and more. rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-m…

time to sleep but I shall say once again Darryn Peterson is the GOAT, best prospect I’ve ever seen, future BITW, and my favorite basketball player
English
@SBN_Ricky FYI this interview with him is very interesting, seems there’s a lot about his philosophy that wasn’t really reflected in the Blazers’ season

Tiago Splitter thing I'm interested in: Blazers were 29th in mid-range frequency ... only behind Billy Donovan's Bulls. Caleb Wilson took a lot of non-rim twos at UNC. Feels like the midrange has to be part of Caleb's shot profile. Will Splitter let him cook there?
English
@DraftDeeper The “promise” speculation seems especially silly. 0 incentive to give a prospect a promise if you’re picking #1 overall. Point of a promise is getting a prospect to drop to you by motivating them to not work out for anyone else
English
To be entirely honest, this doesn't mean a ton in the grand scheme of things. We have these situations every year that get read into far too much. What's been projected at the top of the draft is still where I'd lean, but we still have a long ways to go.
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Developments ahead of the June 23-24 NBA draft: BYU's AJ Dybantsa has conducted formal visits with both the Washington Wizards (No. 1) and Utah Jazz (No. 2) while Kansas' Darryn Peterson only visited the Wizards and does not plan to grant anyone else a meeting, sources tell me and @JeremyWoo. Both have believed in going No. 1 -- and now teams in the lottery are taking note of Peterson's decision to only give access to Washington.

@DonaghyTimmy @MarkW_E01 Relying on a massive set of assumptions about the health/mentality of a teenager here when all the intel has pretty much said the opposite. He could’ve sat out the year and still been drafted high. But tried to play as much as possible and accepted/thrived in an off ball role
English
@MarkW_E01 Yep… I can see DP playing 80games only when it’s contract season🤦🏼
He a payday player Pretty easy to spot nowadays
English
Not confident in the Tiago Splitter hire, but it’s worth noting that the criticism many have for him re: scheme/structure is the same criticism he has for himself (based on end of season presser). Will be interesting to see what he does with an entire offseason/training camp
English
@SJBasketbal8 Guy who’s just an absolute terror around the rim doing his thing to prevent a Celtics playoff collapse where their shooting goes cold and Tatum would otherwise keep taking iso jumpers against the other team’s best perimeter defender. Match made in heaven
English
i don’t think folks realize how crazy they’d be just as a duo lol. it’s a great fit
500 🏎@Kameron_Hay
Tatum and Giannis duo would be crazy man I can’t lie
English
@ash4nd1021 He’s said himself he wants to be Kawhi, not KG. Will be interesting to see how the team that drafts him approaches this. If his def fundamentals improve to the point where he can legit hang on the perimeter, then yeah perhaps more a wing
English
This a jumbo wing pls don’t develop him as a four
🇩🇴@gabrielsmindset
Wilson leading us to the O’Brien soon 🏆
English
@Sensible_Swag @_312DARIUS No, not all of them. I’m not referring to the Champions League for example (which is even bigger than a league trophy). I’m talking about FA Cup, Carabao Cup, etc. type trophies
English
@oughtabefired @_312DARIUS You actually need to QUALIFY for European Football Tournaments. That's why the trophies matter. There's nothing special about the NBA CUP but juggling regular games.
English
@sunraysunray The beauty in having Bridges is not just in having Bridges, it’s having him along with OG and Hart. Just pretend the collective price paid for those three is the eval instead of what each individually cost. In that framing, well worth the price bc OG cost very little
English
Hate to call this out, but this is an example of not knowing ball. You don't pair Brunson with another star, you pair him with a wing defender who hides his weaknesses and doesn't demand the ball and fits into your long-term cap plans.
Matthew Yglesias@mattyglesias
My hater take is that nothing about that win retroactively justifies massively overpaying for a mid perimeter player.
