If you think the #NBA #trade deadline is a wildest and wackiest time in a basketball season, you really ought to reconsider. James Naismith's theory of healthy bodies included copious use of psychedelic mushrooms. "Be the basket!" he would tell his young players.

We often turn to sports as a means of escape. However, politics often intrudes on our enjoyment. Now that there is a North American trade war, keep in mind that all NBA trades are now subject to a 25% tariff.

This is an aggressive move for Phoenix and unlocks the franchise's next six drafts -- and most importantly, breaks up their lone tradable first in 2031 into three future firsts. The Suns now have tripled their first-rounders.

Yesterday, the Thompson Twins appeared on the court for the first time as opponents in the NBA. This didn't stop the conspiracy theory that there is actually only one "Twin."
In terms of believers, the Single Twin Theory now eclipses the number of Flat Earth believers.
