Morning (in SF), folks! A quick request: if I know you from another online hangout could you drop me a note saying which one? I might recognize your handle here, I might not.

If you are stopping by shiny and new because of something I said here: yay! Let me know what caught your eye!

Thanks!
@celticsnba.bsky.social two losses and so many people are discussing who the Cs can get back for Hauser, White, and Brown.

Didn't realize the Patriot fans had shown up already?
@keithsmithnba.bsky.social congrats to you and Trevor!!!
@jacksimone.bsky.social do you need a hug tonight, big guy?
Nah, he hasn't even noticed.
Thank you for being the NBA equivalent of NASA's "steely-eyed missile men," Keith. Always there with the info and good humor!
Thanks, Keith. One last training camp question, if I may. On the Exhibit10 catch and release program, how long does the player have to stay with the G-League affiliate and how much is the retention bonus that's paid to them?
Thanks! and the camp roster limit is 21 players total under whichever flavor of contract?

Do teams that have an injured player under contract get an additional camp invite to use (yes, I'm looking at Boston and JT)?
@keithsmithnba.bsky.social If a team cuts a player who is on an Exhibit 10 contract before training camp, can he still workout in camp but not play in the preseason? I know the player remains eligible to pick up the G-Leauge sign&stay bonus..

Just trying to figure out these last second moves.
They behave like a cancer.
That's cool. I'm not in a rush. :-)
Thank you for letting me know, Rui. I'll figure out a way to get the unis. :-)
It feels to me (I haven't pulled any data on this) like teams are using the transition from the pre-apron CBA to the present to squeeze mid-level, mid-career talent guys on salary. Or it may be that teams are making a hard judgment call that a 21-yo with upside is better for them than 2 know 28-yo.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.
Dan would be lambasted today for the way he casually stepped on the 3-point line in that shot.
Thanks for the breakdown. The new CBA seems to be squeezing mid-level and aging talent hard.
Brogdon's on a camp contract? What's up with that?
Once again, Cruz gets it wrong.

5/5 It's like telling people about a pothole. You aren't responsible for fixing the pothole but you can help your friends know to about it so they can maneuver around it.

If the pothole wants to get itself fixed... well, that's on the pothole.
4/5 Quietly, loudly, use semaphore flags... whatever your style is: call it out. Not with the intent of having a Very Special Afterschool Special chat; just to let folks around you know that Bob or Sally or Sandip or Dae-Kim or whomever is doing racist, phobic, et al shit.
3/5 Whatever we say to point out their unacceptable behavior, they will find unacceptable.

So stop trying to play a game that you can't win.

Call their shit out.
2/5 There is no "polite" or "gentle" way to point out to a racist or a trans/homophobe or a misogynist or a fascist that they are saying/doing racist, t/h-phobic, misogynistic, fascist shit that they won't lose their minds and do the whole "How DARE you impugn my name?!?!?" ritual.
