Hey guys, myself & @samsonfolk.bsky.social talked about the Pacers betting big on Ivica Zubac
- How he can enhance Tyrese
- What the change in spacing means for Siakam
- Will the Pacers still play fast?
- Interior friction
- Lots of options at center

My tanking fix is to use three-year records to determine lottery odds instead of one.
Would be way harder to manipulate the standings late season and actually help the teams the draft is designed to help

The NBA is fighting tanking instead of fixing its incentives
A three-year lottery system could make some of the real problems disappear

From @augetoffmygold.bsky.social: "Joel’s play wasn’t enough, Joel’s health wasn’t enough, Joel going on the record and essentially begging the Sixers not to do what they always do [...] wasn’t enough. The team saw all that and said 'not this year.'” www.rightstorickysanchez.com/p/are-the-si...
Are the Sixers Admitting to Joel (And Us) That This Team Just Isn't Gonna Happen?
AU is bothered by the results of the trade deadline, but is more disturbed by some of the larger implications.

if this doesn’t convince giannis to sign an extension in october, what will?
Free agent guard Cam Thomas has agreed to a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, his agent Tony Ronzone of Wasserman tells ESPN. Thomas, 24, averaged 21.4 points per game over the last three seasons with the Nets.

In related news about the Washington Post and the state of journalism today, Amazon "ran a $1.2 billion tax bill last year, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as its profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion."
That's in the wake of the 2025 tax bill

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts
The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Note on the Dalen Terry trade — sources confirmed to me that a stipulation of the deal was Yabusele declining his player option.
So that is another expiring deal for the Bulls. Yabu will be a UFA after this season. Makes more sense in that context.
